In 1998, Cyco appeared on Vanilla Ice's Hard to Swallow album, followed by collaborations with M-Boogie, Dilated Peoples, and DJ Revolution. In 2003, the group self-released Faith in Chaos (Book of Revelations), after which member JP left the group. This was followed by Fallen From Grace in 2007, with Cyco being the group's only remaining member.
