Musical career
editEcid first gained attention in the Twin Cities hip hop scene with his 2006 album Biograffiti.[9] Through playing shows and meeting other hip hop artists, he was introduced to the late Eyedea, a notable figure that would collaborate with Ecid, through fellow St. Paul rapper Kristoff Krane.[10]
Alongside rapper Awol One, he released the 2010 project named Awol One And Ecid Are... on Fake Four Inc.[11]
In 2012, Ecid released his self produced album Werewolf Hologram. It was received generally well amongst critics, with Steven Spoerl of PopMatters saying "The twin cities indie hip-hop scene is exploding right now and Werewolf Hologram is the most recent piece of its intricate puzzle." The album also reached #22 on CMJ hip hop charts, just above P.O.S and A$AP Rocky[12]
The next year, he released two EP's named Post Euphoria Vol. 1 and Post Euphoria Vol. 2.[13]
In 2015, he released the album Pheromone Heavy, which featured Louis Logic.[14]
