In 2018, Chiello and Sapobully self-published the mixtape Zingaro, influenced by drill and emo. In July 2018 they released "FSK", their first collaboration with producer Greg Willen.
Their breakthrough came with the debut album FSK Trapshit in July 2019, which peaked at number 5 on the Italian Albums Chart and achieved platinum certification. The album was mostly produced by Greg Willen and featured collaborations with Rosa Chemical and Daytona KK. An expanded reissue including seven new tracks, FSK Trapshit Revenge, was released on 6 December 2019 and featured a collaboration with Guè.
