In 2016, Taco's third EP, Wosk, as well as a studio album, Marmur, were released.[11] The two releases debuted on the third and 14th spots on OLiS. Marmur sold 15,000 copies and received gold status.[9][10] In 2017, his fifth EP, Szprycer was released,[12] and became a a commercial success, debuting on the 1st spot on OLiS and receiving platinum record status, selling 30,000 copies.[9][13]. On April 3, 2018, Taco cooperated with Polish rapper Quebonafide in recording and releasing Soma 0,5 mg,[14], which debuted on 1st spot of OLiS and received platinum status.[15] A single named Tamagotchi got first place in most radio stations in Poland and reached spot number 23 on one of the charts of best-selling singles in Poland, AirPlay.[16][17][18][19]
