As a part of thrash metal trio Injustice, the band self-released two demo tapes in 1989 and 1990. In 1998, Necro released his debut extended play Cockroaches EP via Uncle Howie Records. Since founding Psycho+Logical-Records in November 1999, Necro has been releasing music through his own independent record label.
As a member of the Circle of Tyrants along with Ill Bill, Goretex and Mr. Hyde, a hip hop super-group released their only eponymous studio album in 2005.
He collaborated with Kool G Rap forming The Godfathers. The duo released two compilation albums The Pre-Kill Vol. 1 and The Pre-Kill Volume II composed of previously released solo songs in 2012, and also contributed to Necro's Murder Murder Kill Kill Double EP, before the release of their debut studio album Once Upon A Crime in 2013.
At the end of 2023, Necro, together with Ill Bill, released 2 singles “Blood Brothers” and “Madness” for the first joint album Blood Brothers, the release of which was initially scheduled for 2024.
On a July 21, 2024 Facebook post entitled ASK ME ANYTHING?!, a fan asked the following: "Are you and ILL BiLL gonna drop a album soon Madness my favorite track" Necro's response was, "NOPE - PROJECT IS DEADED."
