A member of the hip hop trio Flatbush Zombies, Elliott has released multiple solo projects as well, including "I've Never Been Here Before" in February of 2024.

Elliott plays multiple instruments including the keyboard, piano, and the guitar.

He also scored the film "The Choice is Yours (2023)" on Paramount+ starring Black Sheep and J Dilla. He's also featured on the track "Candle Flame" by Jungle that has over 100 million streams.
