In 2019, the band's first album, "Dismantled Car", was released on the independent label Mulu Records.[7] In 2020, under the influence of the Corona pandemic, the band released an EP album called "Let's Relax".[8]
In October 2021, the band released a concept album called "We Woke Up Late". The album was chosen as one of Galgalatz Alternative Albums of the Year.[9] One of the songs from the album, "National League", was included in the station's playlist tonight. In 2022, the single "Yoshev alai bul" entered the Galgalatz playlist.[10][11][12]
The band released three singles from their third album, Sikhat Litufim, released on July 19, 2023, which featured 15 songs.[13]

The band plays hip-hop with influences from rock and punk combined with social messages.[14] The band frequently performs alongside other hip-hop artists, including Teddy Ngosa (guest on the song Liga Leumit), Jimbo Jay (narrator on the album "We Woke Up Late") and Avraham Legsa (on the song "Aquarium").
