He started rapping when he was a senior in high school, using the stage name Donny Oh and releasing the EP Stuffed Shells in 2013.

In 2014 he changed his stage name to Medhane and met producer Slauson Malone, with whom he formed the group Medslaus. They released their debut mixtape, Greys In Yellow, the following year. Around that time the duo met New York rapper MIKE and affiliated to his loose hip-hop collective [slums].

In 2020, Medhane was accused of sexual assault by a former partner. The Brooklyn rapper has admitted to “problematic” and “emotionally abusive” behavior, but not sexual assault. This resulted in MIKE and Slauson Malone cutting ties with him and the latter removed his verse from “11/28/55, Ttrabul (see page 42).”
