After he released his first album which contained the hit song Asee Ho, Borax has been on the quiet for sometime now. Asee Ho, which featured Daddy Lumba generated a lot of controversy when it was released.

His first album contained tracks like Ahoofe Hemaa, which featured Deeba, Odo Meko, Nana Yaa, which featured Yvonne Ohene Djan and Eye Onoa. Other songs on that album included Twe Ben Yen featuring Don Dee, Mama Pa featuring Don Dee, Mosquito and Nas Pinto.
