Life and career edit
2005-2010: Audio Hustlaz, Vol. 1, and Smoke N Mirrors edit
His career started in 2005 when he met Kurupt in Philadelphia, who urged him and his group Tangled Thoughts to move to California. They did, and released an album with Kurupt, Philly 2 Cali, in 2007.[citation needed]
In 2008, Demrick released his solo debut mixtape, Audio Hustlaz, Vol. 1, which was presented by DJ Skee. B-Real contributed to the mixtape as a producer and featured on several tracks. Later that year, Demrick released the Homeland Security mixtape, a collaboration with Shady/Interscope's artist Cashis. Homeland Security was hosted by DJ Whoo Kid and featured tracks with Royce da 5'9", Crooked I and Freeway, among others.[citation needed]
Demrick was featured on B-Real's first solo debut album, Smoke N Mirrors (2009), appearing on 5 of the 15 songs, including the single "Don't Ya Dare Laugh", and toured overseas with B-Real. In the middle of 2009, Demrick appeared on DJ Muggs' Soul Assassins: Intermission album, and the success of that song led him to spend two years touring with Xzibit.[citation needed]
In 2010 Cypress Hill released Rise Up, their eighth studio album. Demrick was featured on the single "It Ain't Nothin" and went on tour with Cypress, performing at festivals like Rock Am Ring and Rockin Rio. At the end of the year Demrick teamed up with DJ Fingaz for another mixtape, De Is for Demrick.
2011-present: Urban Ammo, #HeadsUP, All The Wrong Things & Serial Killers edit
In 2011, Xzibit and Demrick released two digital singles, "Man on the Moon" and "What It Is". Videos were shot by director Matt Alonzo and led to rotation on MTV.[citation needed] In mid-2011, Demrick released an EP, Neva Look Back, produced by Scoop DeVille.[citation needed]
Demrick released his fourth mixtape, #Heads Up, in 2011. It included the singles "Money & Weed" and "Burn Out" (produced by Jim Jonsin).[1][2][3][4]
In October 2013 Demrick released an album with the hip hop group Serial Killers, alongside Xzibit and B-Real.
