Writing for Vice, Drew Millard described MacDonald as "turgid", and wrote that he rose to fame by "taking the undercooked platitudes of the Intellectual Dark Web and filtering them into songs", adding that he "can feel like an unstoppable force of reactionary dumbness". His music often discusses racial politics in the United States, despite the fact that he is Canadian. MacDonald has cited the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Joe Cocker, Janis Joplin, Tupac, Eminem, Aerosmith, and the Offspring as musical influences. His single "Brainwashed", released in August 2021, peaked at number 89 on the Billboard Hot 100. The music video featured political commentator Blaire White as a background dancer. In June 2021, he released "Snowflakes", which debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 71. The song's accompanying music video paid homage to the music video for Eminem's 2000 song " Stan". MacDonald used the instrumental to create his song "Dear Slim", released in May 2021.

After Eminem released a series of NFTs as part of his "Shady Con" event with Nifty Gateway, MacDonald purchased one-an Eminem-produced instrumental called "Stan's Revenge"-for $100,000. In January 2021, MacDonald released the single " Fake Woke", which debuted at number 96 on the Billboard Hot 100. In March 2020, MacDonald released the single "Coronavirus", which was written about the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, he released 20 singles, including "White Trash", "Sellout", "Best Rapper Ever", "Cancer", and "Angels". In late 2019, MacDonald was scheduled to be a supporting act for Falling in Reverse's Episode IV Tour before it was canceled. In September 2019, MacDonald released the single "Cloned Rappers", on which he rapped that the Illuminati are cloning rappers and disposing of the originals.
His song "Straight White Male", which was written about MacDonald's belief that straight white men are being demonized, was criticized on social media for its subject matter. MacDonald started rapping at age 18, and first rose to fame after releasing the single "Dear Rappers" in February 2018. MacDonald struggled with alcoholism throughout much of his life, and in 2017, had a "bad breakdown" that prompted him to begin rehabilitation.
