Arogundade's music is a blend of experimental electronic, pop, and rap, often featuring adventurous vocal and production decisions that are outside the norm for these genres. In both his music and visual work, Arogundade focuses on themes of emotion and self discovery, presented through industrial and technological aesthetics.
His music video for "Peroxide" was filmed at the Lillgrund Wind Farm off the coast of Sweden.
His father is Ben Arogundade, a British-Nigerian writer and designer. His mother is a Swedish makeup artist. Arogundade was born in London, and grew up in the Hornstull neighbourhood of Stockholm from the age of 2.
His father taught him to use graphic software at a young age, something that he cites as the impetus for his creative work.
He started his first clothing label at the age of 16.
Arogundade is a member of Stockholm-based music group Drain Gang alongside rappers Bladee and Thaiboy Digital and producers Whitearmor and Yung Sherman.
Along with frequent collaborator Bladee, he formed the band Krossad in 2004.

Twenty thousand THB, make a call to Nino
Western union, six, zero, zero, zero

Three stars, one that is you

Drain Gang, GTB, you know we go psycho
At the Texaco gas station, talkin' on the phone
Can't stay here, I've got to go, this feeling won't leave me alone
I stay off the road, incoming, watching through the scope
Ice cream truck (yeah), cherry on top (yeah)
Gate on lock (on lock), I can't stop (can't stop)
Mansion in the hills (hills), blue pills (pills)
Time stands still, open seven seals
This the VIP life (the VIP life)

Black bottle with the ice (with the ice)
Yeah, all the stars align
How am I still alive? (GTB until I die)

The lyrics to ECCO2k's song "Western Union" describe a scene with references to technology, currency transfer, and cheats. The song appears to be about the feeling of being powerful and untouchable in a VIP lifestyle. The opening lines repeat the sounds of a gun being fired and reloaded, which suggest a sense of danger or violence. ECCO2k talks about transferring a large amount of money- "twenty thousand THB"- to someone named Nino through Western Union. Nino might be a reference to the gangster character "Nino Brown" from the movie "New Jack City."
The chorus repeats the words "reload" as if to associate the idea with repetition and persistence. It can also suggest the idea of reloading a weapon. The theme of loss and gain is explored by mentioning "three stars," perhaps referring to a videogame scoring system. ECCO2k makes references to once using "cheat codes’" which could be seen as a metaphor for shortcuts taken in life.
The bridge mentions an ice cream truck with a cherry on top, a gate on lock, and a mansion in the hills, which could imply living life in excess and luxury. The lines "open seven seals" refer to the Biblical book of Revelation where seven seals are opened by the Lamb of God, signifying apocalyptic events. These lines tie back to the song's overarching themes of power and control.
