In '05, he established his own company, "BIGG MAC WORKS," which developed a studio, label, and club, influencing not only Nagoya but also the entire country. Besides his solo work, he also performs with the hardcore band "CALUSARI" and the hip-hop group "Phobia Of Thug," consisting of Mr.OZ and G.CUE.
On July 24, 2025, he digitally released his album "Single Collection," which includes the new song "Coffee Chocolate Cigarette," along with his past albums. He currently presides over the music label 28.35g (ounce) and is continuously creating new content such as playlist-style radio shows "ounce 28.35g" and "ounce 28.35g feat." on YouTube.
Original Zenius = Prodigy/Genius; this title still seems fitting for him.
