Guè Pequeno then signed him to his label Tanta Roba , where Ghali released the single Non capisco una mazza . The rapper Tanta left Roba in 2014 and released songs with producer Charlie Charles from 2015 .

On October 14, 2016 the single Ninna nanna was released on Spotify , which set new streaming records and immediately reached the top of the Italian single charts .

In the summer of 2017, Ghali released his debut album, Album, after further top 10 hits . This was followed by the compilation Lunga vita a Sto , which contained his older songs. At the beginning of 2018 he returned to the top of the single charts with Cara Italia .
