He had medical challenges that struck and affected his career, left him perplexed as if he had contracted COVID, he hadn’t but has gone through a series of experiences in the wake of the pandemic. He sounds set to do exploits with his craft.

His current project sees him through a transition where he seeks a clear direction, plus expanding new demography.

He was on the Eastern rapper Illbliss’s most recent joint album with the adept record producer, Illgod, on a genius track titled “Port-Harcourt”, which took a few snapshots about the reality in Port-Harcourt city. Dr. Barz was also spotlighted on Hennessy’s “Very Special Tape” EP Vol.1 which had other prominent Nigerian rap stars like M.I, Vector, and more acts.
