He was given the name "the Lord of Flavor" (Ajasa is Yoruba term for flavor) in his polytechnic days in Ondo state, where he majored in Quantity Survey.[1] He raps primarily in Yoruba Language.[3][4] "Ma yi lo" was his first track which made him popular and it came out in 2000.[1] In the beginning of his career, he collaborated with 9ice, Olamide, and the late Da Grin, among other Nigerian singers.[3][5]
