Two of his songs were featured in the 2014 film, Four Corners starring Brandon Daniels and Irshaad Ally.
Cream Machine signed with Select Music a division of Sony Music Africa in 2019 and will be releasing his first single under Sony Music Africa called Raak Taatie. The smash hit aims to become the Summer anthem for Cape Town Ghetto life. It showcases ghetto life and how people find beauty is having a good time even though they face hardships on a daily basis. Award winning producer Tweezy produced the Single with Wolfkraft Productions. The sound is fresh and hard-hitting on par with International Hip-Hop releases
