In 1999, after the success of "Movin' On", Mya and Silkk The Shocker collaborated once again on "Somebody Like Me", the lead single from Silkk's Man Made album. That song went on to become one of the years top selling singles on the Billboard charts.

In 2001, Silkk made the album My World, My Way which had limited success. He followed it up with the 2004 album Based on a True Story. Though neither album came to know the success of previous work by Silkk, they both managed to sell fairly well.
