His music was acclaimed not just for the number of live performances, but also for their quality. 2010 marked the release of "CHALLENGER," a song reflecting his spirit, followed by the album "Road to Island." After training in Jamaica, he returned to Japan in 2012 and ushered in a new era with the album "Seaview Garden." In 2013, his album "A PASSING POINT" further expanded his unique worldview, captivating audiences with luxurious features, including a collaboration with ELEPHANT MAN. From 2014 to 2015, he produced the album "RE:START" while commuting between Japan and Jamaica, and embarked on an extensive tour covering all 47 prefectures of Japan. Celebrating his 10th anniversary in 2016, CHEHON released the best album "BEST" and a 10th-anniversary edition of "Midori." In recent years, he has appeared on "Freestyle Dungeon" and participated in numerous MC battles, influencing the scene with his unique style.

He released the album "THE CULMINATION," containing many talk-of-the-town tracks. In 2022, his appearance on FIRST TAKE garnered over 30 million views. In April 2023, he made history by winning the first-ever Reggae DeeJay MC battle. Continuing his momentum, he released new tracks one after another, dominating the music scene.

His diverse talents exploded with dynamic collaborations like "Agari Sagari" with R-Shitei, "Zanzonsha" with Han-Kun of Shonan's wind and Red Spider, and participation in "Osaka Town" and "Kinkyu Jitai 3" with leading artists of the Osaka reggae scene. His release with rapper XILA, "Fukamidori," a bold self-cover of his own classic song "Midori," hit 1 million YouTube views in just one month, drawing significant attention. However, in September 2023, he faced a shocking adversity with his arrest for violation of the Cannabis Control Law. Overcoming this difficulty, CHEHON released a new song titled "Adversity" immediately after his release from detention. Undoubtedly, CHEHON continues to be a unique and leading figure in the reggae world.
