Pro has worked with various producers and rappers, including Dplanet, Amu, Nyambz, Omen and Draztik Dome. In 2007 Pro travelled to the Netherlands to record with Tripple & Touch, where he performed at many clubs in Amsterdam and performed with P. Diddy. He has also performed as an opening act for HipHop, Busta Rhymes, and 50 Cent. In 2006 he co-presented SABC1's dance show, Jika Ma Jika.
Pro is currently signed to T.S records even though the is speculation that he might sign with M.F.E which he owns. Flipside, a rap group which his brother is acquainted to, and Red Button, his protege, are currently some of the artists signed to the stable. He released a new single titled "20past10" which coincided with the single by his protege named "SHIKISHA".
He has collected numerous awards and nominations, with the HYPE awards being the most accolades he has collected throughout his career. His appeal to the entertainment industry has been limited due to his persona, which is highly influenced by his background and society around him. He has stayed loyal to his hometown always mentioning Soweto, Jabulani, Diepkloof and Klipspruit in his music. He also matriculated from Johannesburg Secondary School.
If S.A Hip-Hop was to crown its very own king of Hip-Hop without a shadow of doubt Pro would be King and if you had something to say about that please don’t put it in a verse it might get messy, he embodies what S.A Hip-Hop is about, that kasi swag mixed with his one of kind kasi flow not many emcee's uphold that authenticity that is Mzansi Rap hence we say "Dankie Pro" "Dankie Sani".
