He took his first steps in rap, writing songs during his period of convalescence after a motorcycle accident in 2014.

Lbenj first received attention after releasing "T-Max" in May 2016. The single reached 10 million views on YouTube.[2]

He then released several successive songs, including: "Nari Nari", "SKR", "1000cc", and "Zakaria".

In 2017, he released "Single", a song from his album Galaxy. The single garnered him a Moroccan Music Award nomination. Nominations are based on broadcasts on the top Moroccan radio stations (Chada FM, Hit Radio and Radio 2M).[3]

In January 2018, he revealed "Noir et Blanc", receiving more than 3 million views on YouTube in less than 3 weeks.

In 2019, Lbenj performed at the Mawazine Festival[4][5] and was nominated for Best African Act in the Diaspora All Africa Music Award.[6] Don Bigg released the song 170 KG disparaging Lbenj and other young Moroccan hip hop artists.[7]
