In 2015, at age 18, as an independent underground artist, Casper TNG released "Dope Boy", which is considered to be his breakthrough track. In 2017, he released the single "Know Me".

In 2023, he entered a new chapter of his career by signing a distribution partnership with Streameum Entertainment. The deal marked the beginning of a long-term working relationship focused on expanding his catalog, increasing the reach of his music, and distribution of back catalogue across major streaming platforms.
In 2025, he released "The Market", featuring fellow Toronto rapper 100bandplan. The song peaked at number 61 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100, was certified gold in Canada, and was "one of the year’s defining breakout records in Canadian hip-hop".

In 2026, he launched PuzzL Music Collective, a label in partnership with Universal Music Canada.
