He began his career as a hip-hop artist in 1993. He was a member of the hip-hop band, BDC beginning in 1995. BDC was renamed LWC in 1998 and the following year, O.S.T.R. left LWC and began to collaborate with Obóz TA.
He currently works as both a solo artist and is one half of a duo with producer Emade called POE (Projekt Ostry Emade). In the 22 years since signing a contract with label Asfalt Records, he has managed to produce 25 LP's (6 of which contain beats made by Ostry himself, one of which was double length CD) and one mixtape filled with selected freestyles. He is famous for his outstanding freestyle rap skills and extremely energetic performances. O.S.T.R. is said to be the uncrowned king of Polish freestye. His lyrics focus on various topics including current social and political matters, such as joint smoking and unemployment.
When composing music, O.S.T.R. seeks his inspiration from jazz and funk classic records (he has been playing the violin since childhood). His recent album (a 7" from 2006) was composed with an MPC sampler and a keyboard.
For a short period, he was a presenter in the television program "Yo!MTV Raps", but he resigned due to the fact that the show was too commercial. Recently, he made a short appearance in the film "Z Odzysku" (with a performance in the background of one of scenes); one of the songs from the original soundtrack was recorded by O.S.T.R. In April 2007, O.S.T.R. produced the album "Normal Magic" as a member of the group, Skill Mega.

O.S.T.R. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now and again she's more than a friend, why don't you just throw me that line.
It would be great if she'd dedicate just a minute from her precious time.
I'll give it a while, but that's not my style, now how is that a crime?
Everyone says that I'm wild.
Pardon my French but I still know my child.
And that was the day I told her I needed some time.
Well I began walking when she was still talking I'm looking for that exit sign.
Pardon my face but I'm leaving no trace cause I really haven't got the time.
Well I began thinking and my heart is just sinking and I'm looking for that place to go.
Isn't it sad that she'll treat you so bad, but you never really let her know.
And everyone says that she's crying.
But I can't forget all the time I spent trying.
And that was the day I told her I needed some time.
I know, I know what it feels like to be alone.
I know, I know what it feels like to be at home.
I like, I like stopping to say hello.
It's my life, my life why can't we take this slow?
Why can't we take this slow?
Well I've been through these phases, I've walked through these mazes.
I'm sick and I'm little tired.
It sure isn't fair but I'm not aware of the patience that's required.
If I could have kissed her every time that I missed her I wouldn't be out the door
But now and again, I sure need a friend now isn't that what she's for?
And everyone says that I'm lying,
But I can't forget all the time she spent crying.
And that was the day I told her I needed some time.
I know, I know what it feels like to be alone.
I know, I know what it feels like to be at home.
I like, I like stopping to say hello.
It's my life, my life why can't we take this slow?
Baby take it slow.
It's my life.
My life.
Why can't we take it slow?
Baby, take it slow.

He expresses his appreciation for simple gestures like stopping to say hello but questions why they can't take the relationship slow. He acknowledges going through various stages and mazes, feeling sick and tired. He contemplates the unfairness of the situation but admits to lacking the patience required.
In the final verse, the singer addresses the assumption that he is lying, emphasizing the time she spent crying rather than his own emotions.
