He has appeared on records with Deltron 3030 and Masta Ace, and has toured with Del tha Funkee Homosapien and Blackalicious. In film he made a cameo in the 2008 Michel Gondry film Be Kind Rewind and in the same year narrated the satirical political short Because Washington is Hollywood for Ugly People.[2] While Barman is culturally Jewish, religiously he is an atheist.[3] He also performs regularly on tracks by DJ Yoda.
