The group released two mixtapes in 2009, Strange Journey Volume One and Strange Journey Volume Two. On March 22, 2011, the group released the fifth studio album, Oneirology.

At the group's beginning, members Kno and Deacon focused on energetic wordplay and outlandish rhymes, only at times delving into deeper and more introspective material, such as "Mic Like a Memory" or "Family Ties" from Will Rap For Food. This continued up until their critically acclaimed album A Piece of Strange, which featured more serious songs, ...
