Career Nores got into Hip Hop in the mid 1995.

In 2006, he produced—along with DBF, DJ VAN, and Thug Face—an album for Don Bigg titled Mgharba ‘Tal Moute.

In 2015, Nores composed the soundtracks for Waadi a Moroccan TV Series (lit. My promise) and Dar Dmana a historical TV Series both broadcast by Al Aoula. In 2016, he presented the GEN10 talk show program with Oussema Ben Jelloun which was produced and aired by Medi1TV. And in 2018, he composed the soundtrack of Wala Aaalik another Moroccan Series produced by Al Aoula.

Nores often incorporates Standard Arabic into his work, contrary to hip hop artists in Morocco who rely on Darija—like Dizzy DROS "who claims that it is impossible to rap in Standard Arabic and that Nores’ use is strictly 'ironic'."
