As an artist, he has toured extensively across the Continent, performing alongside some of the biggest names in the secular and Christian industry such as Pharoahe Monch, Talib Kweli, Thousand Foot Krutch, Cross Movement, Grits etc. N.I.F.T.Y. is also a multiple gospel award nominee and winner, having received recognition from major organizations like GMA Canada.
