When he was 16, him and his cousin Ntandoyenkosi Cebekhulu known as Q.S formed a Hip Hop dou called Thee Viipers Gang(TVG) but that dou never made it as the pair was lacking funds for studio sessions at that time.

Later that same year they met the younger member of the group Lil Ghetto, Their vision was to make lot of music and improve themselves that's where they met their executive producer TroopSiders who had handle almost everything in production process. As a group they formed Corner House Records. SlyCce released his first ever project on September 02, 2021 which was titled Trapped In City Of Gold E.P it didn't get him where he wanted to be.

SlyCce is noted by his chilled voice which can take you to another level of your mind. His songs are bit more lavish and rich in lyrics, he can be a bit more emotional and chilled at the same time. He grew up listening to Lil Wayne, Rick Ross and other local artists like Teargas and SkwattaKamp. He mentioned that he's inspired by an American rapper, Lil Baby.
