He has been featured on CNN, NBC Los Angeles, Fox 11 and Gizmodo for spearheading the LA Underground scene and creating such pieces as Jam Session 2.0 (released on January 20, 2010), which networked 8 artists in different locations to create one song.

Grindtime/KingOfTheDot/StompingGroundz
Dumbfoundead's first popularized Grindtime battle was with fellow Asian emcee Tantrum[5] and received high praise—achieving some of the highest numbers of views for Grindtime battles of its era. Many have attributed his victory to his relaxed swagger and sharp humor that has become synonymous with his style as a battler.
"... he had the weirder eerie f***ing kind of wit... that weird dirty extra evil kind of f***ing punchline..." - Jamie DeWolf, one of the judges of the Tantrum vs. Dumbfoundead battle.
With the Tantrum battle being his debut of Grindtime, Dumbfoundead went on to battle Illusion-Z, F.L.O., The Saurus, and Pumpkinhead in the Grindtime circuit, losing only to two time World Rap Championship and Scribble Jam champion The Saurus.
Dumbfoundead also went to Toronto, Canada to battle in King of the Dot, often seen as the Canadian equivalent of Grindtime. He lost in a heated battle against Canadian rapper Kid Twist. It is still a highly debated battle, although he admits Kid Twist won.
Dumbfounded is known as a comedic emcee for his jokes, disses, and rebuttals in battle. His videos have become quite popular on media sharing sites such as youtube and diepnut.com. He is also Korean.

Dumbfoundead announced in one of his video blogs that he would have a small role in a film titled The Detention.

This was super fun episode. Dj Zo!!! He is so funny 🤣 😆 😂 love bro date episodes. Also.. I think prenup is important and having your own separate accounts (so gifts can be surprises and your account is safe.. I've known people who had been with their baby mama or wife for more than 7 years. Lady drained the bank accounts and left my friend with not even 100 in the bank and ghosted him n bought herself a house with his money for her and her new bf . He had put her name on everything bc she is wife. But she went around and made her own plans. It was shocking.. so yea. you can have shared account (for bills, trips, family stuff) but make sure yall have own accounts too. That one guy from the beetles or the Amazon guy. Their ex wives no prenup took more than half!!

Zo seems like a genuinely cool dude, always cool to see him on here.
