He has worked with, and continues to work with new and old artists in Scotland and abroad, creating music with some of Scotland's top producers and artists in the genre. 31 July 2012 came the release of his debut album Untitled Scot. ==Biography== First released material through Sons of Scotland with fellow emcee and Edinburgh resident Deeko, the duo gained success in Scotland and performed at various gigs throughout the country. The release itself, created an underground following for both artists, however Werd (S.O.S) never reached a larger audience until the release of ''The Scottish Rapper'' towards the end of 2008. This mix tape attracted the ears of local promoters and artists projecting him to new heights and gaining exposure on a national scale. In December 2010 Werd teamed up with fellow Edinburgh artist Wardie Burns to create the 26 track ''Vagabonds'' mixtape released on Sons of Scotland. The follow up mini-album Vagabonds in Space released 8 June 2011 along with Zambian Astronaut further increased their presence in the UK Music scene. The album features arguably the most recognised Scottish hip hop artists, Madhat McGore, Adam Holmes and Glasgow's Mog who featured on the debut music video titled 'A Declaration'.
