Tokosi began rapping in 2018, under the name "DigDat". He gained recognition with his single "Air Force", which entered the UK Singles Chart at number 93 in September 2018.[7] A remix of the track with features from Krept and Konan and K Trap was released in the following months; the track then peaked at number 20 in December 2018.

In December 2021, DigDat announced Pain Built;[10] it was released on 14 January 2022.[11] A review of the mixtape by GRM Daily said the mixtape "feels as if it is a step in the right direction for both DigDat and UK drill."[12]
