After leaving Island in 1992, the Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E. recorded the unreleased ‘Good Times Bad Times’ which featured artists such as Ice Cube and George Clinton, and Living Colour. Unfortunately, the album was never released. That same year, the Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E. toured on the '92 Lollapolooza. The T.R.I.B.E made a guest appearence on legendary MC Kid Frost's second album in 1992. In 1993, the T.R.I.B.E. first began to experiment with rock influences, and collaborated with Faith No More on the Judgement Night soundtrack. Signing with the smaller Bullet Proof label, the group issued two more albums, ‘Doomsday’ in 1994, and ‘Occupation Hazardous’ in 1995. The lead brothers also changed their aliases: Danny became Monsta O and Donald was Kobra Konvict (or just Kobra).

In 1997, the brothers formed their Samoan Mafia label, and they released a demo of ‘Angry Samoans’ – a blend of rap, funk, and heavy metal – a sound Godfather said they hope to work with more in the future.

The album ‘Mafia Lifestyle’ was released in 2000, featuring artists such as Layzie Bone, Yukmouth, and Naughty by Nature's Treach.

In 2003, the T.R.I.B.E. released ‘West Koasta Nostra’. The album brings together artists such as Eminem, Mack 10, WC, Kurupt, and Knoc-Turnal. "We’re hoping that people will accept it and feel the story that we’re portraying about the reality of life…” Gawtti continued to describe the sound of the 2003 album; "This album is more hip hop with different flavours in the mix of the music, this is young generation music, even though we’re old school. Battlecat was our producer he brings the flava’ of a new era. Just like with Eminem, he brought his style... if you hear Em’s track, you know the kids are gonna rock to it. Kids wanna hear this.”

Speaking further of Eminem's production contribution, Gawtti added, "It’s about respect. Eminem, he’s real. He likes real people. He’d never work with a guy unless they’re safe. He's seen it in our eyes, and he's like ‘Man, you guys are real’. He told my brother ‘Man, y’know the world gotta see your passion, see it through the eyes of a gangster. They gotta hear all this pain, tears, blood, scars’, and they gonna hear all that... People say he [Eminem] ain’t wired or he ain’t from the hood, nah, he’s real, believe me!"

The T.R.I.B.E. continued on the path of rock and metal influence when they released a full album entitled ‘Angry Samoans’ in 2006. The album recieved critical acclaim and favorable reviews.
