Tuks started writing poetry at the age of 12 having drawn his inspiration from his daily experiences of having grown up in the Bophutatswana homeland during the apartheid regime. In high school, he started harnessing his hip hop skills, at a time when hip hop was still a taboo in South Africa.
In 2005, with the rise of the motswako movement, Tuks first album, Mafoko A Me (, was released. It won Tuks his first SAMA for Best Hip Hop Album. The following year he released MC Prayer which was certified gold four months after its release. The leading single, “Monate Thwa”, led to increased sales for the album. He bagged another SAMA nomination for the Best Hip Hop album and a Metro FM Award.

The album won him three awards: Metro FM Music Award (Best Hip Hop Album); Hype magazine Hip Hop Awards for Best Album and Best Solo Artist.
In 2010, he independently released Tshwanelo which was a big change from his previous work. Its leading single, the title track, topped charts across the country before the album was released. An even more successful single, “Let Me Live”, even attracted Gospel fans. Tshwanelo was nominated for the 17th edition (2011) of the South African Music Awards and the Metro FM awards 2011 edition.
