He began his musical journey under the name Thugy 101, gaining recognition with prominent crews such as SMM (Strictly Music Movement) and Cor Militis. While still operating under his original name, Thugy 101 officially embarked on his musical journey in 2010, unveiling his debut project, 'Grime n Punishment.' This raw and unfiltered release garnered widespread attention, establishing him as a force to be reckoned with. Building upon the momentum of his early success, Thugy wasted no time and swiftly followed up with 'The Reboot' later that same year. This highly anticipated release showcased his growth and versatility as an artist, solidifying his place among the rising stars of the grime scene. 'The Reboot' served as a testament to his evolving artistry, further cementing his position in the industry. These early projects laid the foundation for Tugz's unique musical style and established him as an artist unafraid to push boundaries and explore new sonic territories. With each release, he captivated audiences with his distinct sound and thought-provoking lyrics, earning him a dedicated fan base and critical acclaim within the grime community. Whilst on a mandatory time out in 2012, Sovereign Tugz's entrepreneurial spirit led him to form See No Equal Entertainment, a platform dedicated to empowering artists and nurturing their creative endeavors. Despite the challenges, he laid the groundwork for a thriving musical community that continues to flourish today. However, as he matured both personally and artistically, he felt the need for a name that better reflected his growth and aspirations.
