Career
In 2020, Gómez met Stiffy online through playing Minecraft, they formed the duo SwaggerBoyz later that year inspired by the work of American rapper Chief Keef, shitpost culture and Internet montage parodies.[2][7] The pair released songs such as "Jesus escucha plug", and later incorporated Argentine references.[2][8] The pair began an annual festival known as Swaggerpalooza where they met artists turrobaby and Zell and formed the group P.I.L.F.[2][9][10] That same year, Gómez released the mixtape Hacelos concha Agus.[11]
Writing for Rolling Stone magazine, Reanna Cruz compared Gómez's sound to Xaviersobased and Tisakorean.[6] Cruz noted his music as rejecting previous Argentine hip-hop and music traditions, stating on the song "24/7": "No se que mierda es el boom bap, pero suena como el orto".[6] Gómez described himself as a parody of the modern hip-hop artist.[7]
