[edit] Early career
Before any major solo projects, he attended his first local-sized performances under the name "Classick", which went on until the beginning of 2004. Later he would create a rap core band called O-Pozition (which is still in periodical function), but works on his major project at the time, the debut album "Natio", started at the end of 2004.
[edit] The creation of "Natio"
Natio was released in the end of 2006 on Iskaz's independent label Opozit Sound. "Natio" was promoted via videos for the song "Superzvezda" with the eminent Serbian hip hop artist Wikluh Sky and further with two more videos for songs "Simuliran San" and "Nova Zora". Iskaz went on tour with another eminent hip hop artist from Serbia, Marchelo, and that tour contributed to the promotion of the album. Some of the album's tracks were made in collaboration with prominent Serbian hip-hop artists, such as Beogradski Sindikat, Sunshine, Bad Copy and Suid.
[edit] The creation of "Teorija Haosa"
"Teorija Haosa" (The Chaos Theory) began at the end of the year 2007 and saw completion around the end of march 2008. The general hip-hop tone received slight additions of different genres - such as funk, jazz, hardcore punk and metal, even with light scores of didgeridoo solos. This album included band Svedoci which contributed to a better definition of the targeted music genre. The publisher this time was Multimedia Records. The album's promotion started with a video for the first single "Profil Poroka". Like "Natio", the album featured numerous guest artists, such as Wikluh Sky, Sunshine, Marchelo and others.

Iskaz is the MC of the Serbian rap-core band O-Pozition.
