In 1998 Fu released his debut album ''[[2b S.Pacific]]''.  The album went double platinum and spawned four top-ten hits, which was unheard-of for a local hip hop artist at the time.  The following year, he received the Single of the year award for ''Scene III''.<ref name=sceneiii>{{cite web|title=1999 Winners|url=http://www.nzmusicawards.co.nz/2009/10/29/1999-winners/|work=New Zealand Music Awards|access-date=23 May 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110613172239/http://www.nzmusicawards.co.nz/2009/10/29/1999-winners/|archive-date=13 June 2011}}</ref> Fu subsequently formed a band named ''The Krates'' for studio work and live performances.
