These included such records as "Itchy Town" and "Lash Suttin", a reworking of Redman's "Smash Something". Skinnyman released a solo album, Council Estate of Mind in 2004.
Skinnyman also featured on various Hip Hop tracks with Hip hop Award Winner Karl Hinds of Ill Flava Records. These tracks include the most well known entitled "Let's Av it". He also voiced as the dad in kids television show Astro Farm.
Heavily autobiographical and socially analytical, the album makes much use of samples from Made in Britain, a British film from the early 1980s.

Another single, "Change Your Heart" featuring Nemesis & Arrogance, was released by Real Records in August 2006.
His most recent release is a 2007 single, titled "I Love Hedly Smith", which features Karl Hinds.
Skinnyman also supported Immortal Technique when he performed live in South East London in the Coronet Theater in Elephant & Castleon 4th June 2008.
