In 2014, the album Eine druglose Frechheit followed , which reached number 8 in the German album charts. In Austria it reached number 40 on the charts. A total of six music videos appeared for the album.

The Vollbluthustler crew album LMADP, the mixtape Vollbluthustler & Connecte and the tour sampler Auf Chemie and Natour with his crew were also released there.
His texts deal primarily with drug consumption and the problems and consequences that come with it. He represents a hedonistic lifestyle, but also deals with issues of a socially critical nature. His rap style is kept technical despite the textual restrictions. Herzog uses various rhyme and rap techniques such as doubletime and long strings of rhyme. His voice is smoky and harsh.
