Career

Shortly after being introduced to Project Blowed by SP83, Psychosiz requested membership in the newly formed group Customer Service alongside SP83, Kail, Y-Not, JoeSue, A-ok, and group leader Nocando.[4]

Psychosiz formed Thirsty Fish alongside Open Mike Eagle and Dumbfoundead. The trio released the debut album Testing the Waters in 2007.[5] The second album, Watergate, was released on Mush Records in 2011.[6]

Shortly after the formation of Thirsty Fish, Psychosiz expanded the roster to include several more Los Angeles rappers to the Project Blowed scene.[7]

Psychosiz has been featured on several solo projects by Swim Team members including Sahtyre's debut album High Saht.[8]

Compilation appearances
gollark: The API should probably be designed so that it provides individual cryptographic primitives for more advanced use but has simpler functions with sensible defaults for the really common things.
gollark: Eh, maybe. But if it's a convenient single-module minified library you can include it easily.
gollark: That's probably enough for most usecases.
gollark: I'm thinking:- SHA256- some somewhat sensible password hashing function- ChaCha20/AES256- ECC stuff
gollark: Yes. People often ask "how do I do [some crypto operation]" so just point them to it.
