Jevric recorded his first album, titled "Kuca poso", in March 2010.
He did a photo shoot for Dolce & Gabbana Winter 2011 Collection, positing as an Italian tailor, and he claims that the $1000 fee he received for the campaign but he said that photo shooting has nothing to do with his popularity, he was cast because of his Italian look.

Loose translation to English:
Kuca poso
Home To Work
Here I am living in New York city
Living, working, but mostly working,
ref: Home to work, work to home
home to work, work to home
That's all I know,
I know nothing,
And how would I?
Hoy New York, the darkness looms over you
since you let the women rule
Dogs and concrete all over the place
Battalions of women roaming the streets
[ref]
Hoy New York, let the light back in,
Forbid women to work,
Before they loose their kids and their properties,
