He got known for his unmistakable look, with blanched skin, fair dreadlocks, and clearly inked eyes, which provoked others to stick to this same pattern, with Brooklyn rapper Mace who was admitted to hospital after his eye got infected. It was then discovered that Alkaline accomplished his look by utilizing contact lenses. New Level Unlocked, his 1st album was released by DJ Frass Records in 2016 and it proceeded to top the Billboard Reggae Albums Chart in that April and he made it as the 1st DJ on the same chart for 5 years.
