They later formed Ogopa Productions which apart from music production also organizes events. They revolutionised Kenyan music in the early 2000s.
They have released three compilation albums and several albums by their artists. Their first album was released in 2001 and was a widely popular in East Africa. It also introduced fans to the talent of the late E-Sir and K-Rupt. They are famous for their logo of a red face screaming.
