Career In 2017, having lived in New York for seven years, he moved back to China after learning there was a strong desire for live hip hop music while going on tour. He released a short film detailing his reasons for returning to Chengdu in China called 3 Days in Chengdu produced by Roni Shao. After the Chinese rap competition show The Rap of China popularized hip hop in China, Leng experienced a huge increase in performance invitations, earning him enough funds to remain financially secure living in China. The 2022 Pirelli Calendar included Leng, making him the "first Chinese musician" showcased in the trade calendar.
