He was later invited as a jury in the world final of the Battle of Red Bull Roosters in the former Sports Palace in Madrid, where he won over 15,000 attendees with a respectful speech before his performance: "Here the real stars it's the kids that are competing, I would like to be at their level, "he said. In 2019 he showed that he is a star in emblematic events such as Madrid Salvaje, the first great festival of the capital devoted to urban trends around trap, hip hop and electronics. Right now superinteresting things are happening in my land, whenever I return there I discover a new artist it's worth it, "he says. All those names you mentioned had no music when I left.

He pioneered the new generation of hip hop in the Canary Islands, a circuit that has successfully jumped to the Peninsula in recent years thanks to names such as the Locoplaya group (formed by Don Patricio, Bejo and Uge), Cruz Cafuné, Sofi de la Torre and Highkili, among others.
