In 2018, he produced the single "Dorian Gray" and, alongside Xpert, went on tour across various regions of the country. Towards the end of 2019, Paster created a major buzz in the country with his rap battle performance as part of the "Kəllə-Kəlləyə" project.
IIn 2020, the "Bina" album was released online via YouTube, and the 5-track album quickly gained significant attention. He also released the track "Yaşma," dedicated to the victory in the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War. In 2021, Paster introduced the track "Pulumu doğ." In 2022, Paster collaborated with Rashad Dagly, an acclaimed artist in the Azerbaijani genre of Meykhana, on the track ''Şir''. This cross-genre collaboration created a sensation across the country. In 2023, he released his album Çirkin, followed by a mini-album titled Lotos with RZZA in 2024.
On December 26, 2019, the Binagadi District Court sentenced Paster to 30 days in prison after he was found guilty under Articles 510 (petty hooliganism) and 535.1 (failure to obey a lawful request of the police) of the Administrative Offenses Code. Some public activists speculated that his arrest was related to his song "Gang," in which he referenced "Pasha Bank" on December 9. On January 21, 2020, Paster completed his sentence and was released from custody during the day.
