A little later he made the acquaintance of the inexperienced rappers Kool Savas , Fumanschu and Justus Jonas , who took him into their Masters of Rap crew, through a local youth center .
Orsen began his rap career around the Royalbunker- Café, which was representative of the MOR label of the same name. Due to the close contact that developed from this with Kool Savas and Taktloss , he also appeared in their opening act at times.
In 2004 his solo album Grade 1+ was released . A joint album with Taktloss followed in the same year.
In addition to his guest contributions on the albums of other MOR members, Orsen can be heard on publications by artists such as Automatikk , Boba Fettt , Eko Fresh , Fumanschu , King Orgasmus One , Plattenpapzt and Prinz Porno .
