The single "Tabanja" was released in 2015 and gained attention. Her debut album Sherihan was released in April 2016, and many of the songs are about Rinkeby where she had previously lived. The album was produced by Leslie Tay and Amr Badr. At the 2016 Grammis, she was nominated for "Newcomer of the Year" and at the 2017 Grammis she was awarded the Grammis for "Hip Hop/Soul of the Year" and was also nominated for "Album of the Year".
