His music is influenced by both old school and new-age hip hop with a fair amount of Afro-pop essence. He draws inspiration from legendary artists like Kendrick Lamar, Drake, J-Cole, Big Sean, Jay-Z, and Future and uses it to make his music more gripping.

His next album, ‘Too Bad’ was released in December 2021 and became a bigger hit than his previous album, ‘Rage’. It received more than 50,000 streams on Spotify. Prima Status teamed up with BadManOzzy in the album.

Prime Status is always trying to bring something new to the audience by experimenting with unique elements and collaborating with various artists. He mentioned that he will be concentrating more on the old-school hip-hop flow for his upcoming projects.
