In this dynamic, he works in his cousin’s mixtape BM Jaay named « CORBEILLE » then joins the label REPTYLE MUSIC in 2016. Since that first experience with beatmaking, Karabalik has been able to attract big names in Senegal’s hip-hop industry like Dip Doundou Guiss, the band Akhlou Brick , Iss 814, Samba Peuzzi ,M.A.S.S. and international ones like Barack Adama from Sexion d’Assaut, Gambian Gee, Jizzle ect. In addition to beatmaking, Karabalik is also an outstanding mixing engineer and producer who managed many artist’s projects (from Dip Doundou Guiss to Akbess and Kanyzii). In April 2020, he wears his producer’s cap and releases his first single « Bondit » (VILLAIN) alongside BM Jaay and Samba Peuzzi, both popular rappers and part of REPTYLE MUSIC. His second single «Fou Lerr Lako Tekk » (I KNOW WHAT I AM SAYING) in collaboration with all the rappers of REPTYLE MUSIC, is a fun and popular anthem that fits perfectly with the style of nowadays rappers. That song is undeniably the jam of the summer and keeps on expanding on YouTube (close to 600 000 views in two weeks) as well as on streaming platforms. With that title, Karabalik put his stam in the beatmaking scene and is undoubtedly the most popular beatmaker in the industry.
