In 2006, the group released a studio album, Use Your Confusion, which features guest appearances by Sadat X, Wordsworth, and Slick Rick, among others.[11] It was released through Amalgam Digital after a deal was signed with the independent label.[12]

In 2015, the group released a collection of previously unreleased tracks, titled Baby Pictures (C. 1989-1993).[13]
