Lee is highly popular among Baltimore club-goers and Baltimore Club music fans. Because the city and surrounding area of Baltimore does not have a highly developed urban music scene, he is currently considered one of the most notable artists to represent the city.

His song "Dance My Pain Away" was featured on the soundtrack to the HBO series The Wire.
