The duo signed with Atlantic Records in 2000 and issued their first two singles, "Y'all Can't Never Hurt Us" and "Cross the Border" soon after. The latter song peaked at #98 on the Billboard Hot 100 and 3 on the Billboard Hot Rap Singles. Their debut album, Get Down or Lay Down, however, was delayed for over a year, finally being released on August 7, 2001. Despite production from The Neptunes, the album failed commercially, only reaching No. 69 on the Billboard 200 majorly due to the fact that BET refused to support their video for Cross the Border which contributed to the end of the duo as well.[2]

After both The Neptunes and Atlantic Records severed ties with them, the duo shortened their name to Philly's Most and released a second album entitled Ring the Alarm in 2004 before disbanding shortly after.
