In early 2014, Arif signed a career management deal with Nora Collective. While working on his long-play debut, Arif released one of the biggest urban hits of the summer of 2014; “Lowkey” and in January 2015, he released the radio-friendly “Kanke Gi Opp” (feat. Magnus Eliassen), the first single from the April 2015 album “HighEnd / Asfalt” - raising the expectations for his album debut even further.
Background:
In the wake of the critically acclaimed EP, along with the national hit “Gal”, Arif was named Untouched Artist of The Year - a prestigeful aknowledgement for new, independent artists, presented by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK). After his performance at Norwegian music festival by:Larm, Arif was hailed as a rising star by VG, P3, Dagbladet and Aftenposten - some of Norway’s largest media outlets. This paved the way for a career step in the right direction when major label EMI/Warner Music Group signed Arif in early 2013. He released his well recieved sophomore-EP “Aldri & Alltid” in the fall of 2013, which had a more dark and serious theme than his debut release.
Arif’s music and impressively energetic live performances, combined with his charismatic appearance, has helped earn Arif gigs at the biggest festivals, his own t-shirt collection together with the Varner Group, as well as several radio and TV performances, including a guest role in TV show “Helt Perfekt” with comedian Thomas Giertsen.

Bane og Batman ute stacker opp promille
Pour up, vi spiller
Bane og Batman ute stacker opp promille
Ingen her puller opp sånn her
Ingen her puller opp sånn her
Hvem av de puller opp sånn her (pour up)
BBB vi er oppi her
Batman baller som Durant
Politiet er der (fuck the police)
Beveger meg i skyggen (kamoflasje)
Joker snakker piss på Snapchat (snufser mye)
Bang Bang er en savage (fucking psycho)
Vroom, vroom batmobil ja
Kjører forbi dem (ja, ja, skrrrrt)
Finner meg i skyene, livsstil syk (ja, ja)
Goddamn, jiggy-jiggy-jigg
Finner meg midt i Gotham City
Flaggermusene er crazy
Jager skurker helt til dagslys
Svart belte, tekken, våpen, belte, Gucci, ser det (mhm)
Svever, Playboy, Bruce Wayne, ching-ching, bling-blao
Katte-kvinnen gir meg mjau-mjau
Vi tar på masken og går inn
Lever lavish, vi baller
R.I.P, bare hvil i fred
Pour up, vi spiller
Bane og Batman ute stacker opp promille
Pour up, vi spiller
Bane og Batman ute stacker opp promille
Ingen her puller opp sånn her
Ingen her puller opp sånn her
Hvem av de puller opp sånn her (pour up)
BBB vi er oppi her
Unge Bane ruller opp trær
Batman baller som Durant
Finnes ingen Gud her (halleluja)
Inni mørket som en panter (eller puma)
Heller bensin på (hele byen)
Stig Brenner puller opp med (influensa)
Trippel-B turné
Masken på
Kan'ke se mitt fjes
Verden er min, sipper nitroglyserin
En double cup, vi blower up
Selg meg din sjel
Gir deg hundre K
Gjorde ting med djevelen
Er så mye flus her, vanskelig å telle dem
Vi tar på masken og går inn
Lever lavish, vi baller
R.I.P, bare hvil i fred
Pour up, vi spiller
Bane og Batman ute stacker opp promille
Pour up, vi spiller
Bane og Batman ute stacker opp promille

The lyrics of Arif's song "BBB" depict a lifestyle of excesses, with references to the Marvel comics character Batman and the DC Comics character Bane, who are known for their strength, agility, and fighting skills. In the song, the two characters are portrayed as partying, "pouring up" alcohol, and "stacking up" high levels of intoxication, while Joker provides nonsensical commentary via Snapchat. The lyrics also describe the main character, AKA BBB (short for Bane, Batman, and himself), as a savage and a psycho, who flaunts his wealth with designer brands like Gucci.
In the second verse of the song, Arif's lyrics take a darker turn, hinting at arson and devil worship. He sings about lighting the whole city on fire with gasoline and how he has done things with the devil. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, "Pour up, vi spiller/Bane og Batman ute stacker opp promille" (Pour up, we play/Bane and Batman stacking up alcohol).
The song portrays a sense of rebellion against the norms of society, and the characters depicted are shown living a carefree lifestyle with no consequences. However, the song's underlying message also shows the pitfalls of such a lifestyle, hinting at potential dangers and destruction that may arise as a result of excesses.
