With well over a quarter of a million accumulated plays on his MySpace page, he was the most listened to Swedish hip hop artist in February 2007 ^[1]. Having hundreds of international gigs under his belt, he is one of the most established European hip hop artists.

In 2006 the German rapper Kool Savas released a diss track in which he slighted Promoe among other German and international artists. Promoe's response was the song "Sag Was" which he posted on premier German hip-hop site rap.de, and was also released on a 7" LP and also on the CD of Standard Bearer in 2007. It has gone as yet without answer.

Promoe has featured on many tracks with both Swedish and international artists. For his song "These Walls Don't Lie" he extracted the beat from a Bollywood song called "Mehndi Lagake Rakhna".
