life and career

Not much is known about 18 karat's origins other than that it has roots in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In 2015 he released several music videos on the Supremos Records label's YouTube channel . He appears with a gold mask, which, according to him, is decorated with real gold leaf and has a value of 3500 euros. On the reasons why he appears exclusively with a mask, 18 Karat said the following:

"That's because I'm a street boy and I'm not quite out of the street yet and still have a lot to hide."
