Through Cem Yılmaz and Ertuğrul Özkök's help, King's song "Günah Benim" became widely known and resulted in his breakthrough.[1][2] Through her children, Sibel Can learned about King's success and asked him and Eypio to perform at her concert in Cemil Topuzlu Open-Air Theatre.[3] Together, they performed the song "Günah Benim" in the form of arabesque and rock. Before the concert Can said "I got to know Eypio and Burak King thanks to my children. Their music video has been watched over 100 million times. I'm so excited to rap for the first time".[4][5]

UEFA's editor in Turkey Çetin Cem Yılmaz, revealed that the song "Günah Benim" was a favorite of their national football team being played on their bus numerous times.[6] To support their team at the UEFA Euro 2016, King and Eypio used part of their previous song "Günah Benim" and released the new piece "Ay Bizim Yıldız Bizim".

In 2017, King released his new song "Koştum Hekime". The song became one of the most downloaded pieces in Turkey. King was nominated for a Golden Butterfly Award in the category :Song of the Year".[7]
