The Sleepwalkaz much like 2 Krazy Devils never really went anywhere and the group was forced to split up. Skrapz went on to do another project with the R.O.C and Blaze went on to hookup with Twiztid and form I.S.I. I.S.I never really did much, a few tracks were recorded by the group but when Violent J of the Insane Clown Posse approached Twiztid for a record deal on Psychopathic Records, they gladly took the offer. This was after the fact that I.S.I as recording artist were pretty much done with and basically had just become a crew of homeboys from the 7 Mile (Twiztid's old neighborhood).
Blaze kept doin his thing underground until Twiztid was able to offer him a solo career on Psychopathic. Blaze accepted and was soon on his way to underground stardom. He recorded his first self titled album on Psychopathic. Blaze has the sound of an old school hardcore ruthless street thug from the early 90's. Blaze's next album was his first length LP called "1 Less G In The Hood cuz i shot that guy in the face with an hatchet". This release was a little more experimental in Blaze's sound. Some guitar was thrown in the mix but all in all the album still stayed true to the "gangsta" image Blaze had created. After he released his 2nd album, he retired for about a year. He then came back into the business, becoming a member of the supergroup Dark Lotus and also recorded his third solo album 'Tha Undying' under his new name Colton Grundy.
Blaze and his label mate Anybody Killa are very close friends, and ABK has been Blaze's hypeman at numerous live shows. ABK and Blaze have since formed a group called Drive-By. Pony Down (Prelude) was released early October 2005. This album has extreme bass lines and has a slower old school sound.
Since ABK has left Psychopathic Records, it is yet to be seen what will happen with the project. As of the latest Gathering of the Juggalos (2006), it was officialy confirmed that Drive-By was 'dead'..

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I try to feel the sunshine while standing in the rain
(In the rain)
You try to hold me down with all your restrain
(Your restrain)
I try to feel the sunshine while standing in the rain
(In the rain)
You try to hold me down with all your restrain
I try to feel the sunshine while standing in the rain
(In the rain)
You try to hold me down with all your restrain
(Your restrain)
(Verse 1)
I?m the greatest escape artist the hardest situation is getting free
From the terror that keeps confiding in me,
I got to be Better than Houdini and David Blaine
With no magician, No illusions, No subliminal, No hypnosis to your brain, I?m untrained
Children should not try this at home at all, I?m a free lance professional
And this is on my own I staged the whole bit
I drink and talk a little shit and see who got the balls to pull a strap
And really use it, That?s where the fun comes in
Cause after they pop me they got to hide my body
So no ones suspicious about who shoot me
It?s interesting me to see the means and the tactics and tape
To make sure that my death is tucked away nice and safe
(Hook)
I try to feel the sunshine while standing in the rain
(In the rain)
You try to hold me down with all your restrain
(Your restrain)
I try to feel the sunshine while standing in the rain
(In the rain)
You try to hold me down with all your restrain
(Your restrain)
(Verse 2)
Sunshine?s for suckers and queers
That?s what they told me when they rolled me in the carpet,
And through me over the bridge just like I was some garbage
Of course I was uncounsous not dead in the sense they thought I was
But a slug in your dome will get you caught up 'cause
I?m not invincible I could die a million times
Each time more painful than the first, Still I survive
Both hands are tide behind my back as I?m breathing dirty water
And my legs are been mauled to death by the sewer rats
I move erratically to make them work for there meal
I?m dislocating my shoulder?s I slip out just like banana peel
I?m close to drowning again
Ten minutes and countin me to them
Is my record so I feel it like I'm ahead
In points was the view from the west but it's all good
Best believe that your boy will be back to walk the neighborhood
In no time water logged and bullet ridden
They be like, ?I can?t believe that he did it, He really escaped.?
(Hook)

(Verse 2)
[Not too sure about these!]
No stun, I'm runnin with some gangstas
Not no bitchass wangstas
But some real gangsta fed my legs into a woodchipper
But the blades got caught on my bones I woke up screaming
And noticed that my right foot and... leg was gone
My eye popped out the socket and dangling on the cheek
They must have strangled me to sleep 'cause I'm unable to speak
Must have screamed just inside of my head
'cause they still think that I'm dead
They usin a shovel to scrape away clumps of the red
From out the chipper they pop my legs out
So they can chop me up manual bag me up and throw me out
No sweat, give me a week and a roll of some duct tape
And a shovel to dig the rest of my body up and I'm straight
(Hook)
I try to feel the sunshine while standing in the rain

You try to hold me down with all your restrain

[Till the end]
The song "Escape Artist" by Blaze Ya Dead Homie explores themes of resilience, perseverance, and survival in the face of adversity. The hook "I try to feel the sunshine while standing in the rain, you try to hold me down with all your restrain" speaks to the struggle of finding joy and optimism amidst difficult circumstances, while also acknowledging external forces acting to limit one's potential.
The first verse discusses the singer's desire to be a great escape artist like Houdini and David Blaine, but with no illusions or tricks, just pure skill and ingenuity. The mention of drinking and talking "shit" and daring someone to shoot him shows a willingness to take risks and push boundaries. The final lines about ensuring his death is "tucked away nice and safe" hint at a potential criminal element to the escape artist's lifestyle.
The second verse takes a darker turn, with the singer recounting being rolled up in a carpet and thrown off a bridge, only to miraculously survive with one leg missing and his eye dangling from its socket. The vivid imagery of dislocating his shoulders and slipping out like a banana peel adds to the sense of danger and desperation. The final lines about using duct tape and a shovel to dig up his own body suggest a willingness to do whatever it takes to survive and escape.
Overall, the song communicates a sense of defiance and determination in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges. It speaks to the human capacity to endure and overcome, even when faced with overwhelming odds.

I must make it to the wishing well
The well to make a wish
And once I am there
a penny I spare in hopes of these sins you forgive
With vultures all calling
In weight of my falling
Victim to this horrible wind
I arrive just in time
It must be a sign
Father forgive me for all that I did
