At 16 he was a member of the Kennington-based crew Harlem Spartans, gaining a cult following with "Teddy Bruckshot," "Money & Beef," and "Forrest Gump".
In 2018 he struck out on his own and debuted his first mixtape, even though it was self-released it still landed on the top 50 in the UK charts. [3]
"See, the Drake thing, I thought it was kind of fake,” Loski recalled. “He keeps messaging me and commenting on my Instagram stuff. Before, there’s a group Harlem Spartans, my friends—he followed that page before, but no one messaged him, so he didn’t DM it. Then my manager was like, ‘Message him. Go for it.’ So I messaged him, I just said, ‘Yo.’ And hes, like, ‘What you sayin’ G?’ And I’m, like, ‘Whaaaat?!? That’s mad.’ "
