Underground Vibes in 1994, and was revolutionary for its time, featuring familiar jazz samples and many vibe samples and heavy hip-hop influences. His second studio album was
Substances, which carried on with the tradition of it's predecessor. He released
The Beat Assassinated in 1998, which contained cameos from underground rappers, and also released
The Loa Project vol, 2 and various DJ Mixes during 98-02. In 2003, he departed his regular sound for the
Soulshine LP, which featured an appearance by Gang Starr's Guru (Credited as Baldheaded Slick). He went back to his hip-hop roots in 2004 with
