Després de grabar sa primera maqueta al 1990, han editat quatre àlbums d'estudi, un doble CD en directe i dos recopilatoris. Early Years (2004) està dedicat als seus primers anys, i en ell es troba sa maqueta, per primera vegada disponible en CD. The Best of Dr. Calypso (Groover, 2004) és un recopilatori exclusiu per a sa distribució a Europa.
Són molt coneguts dins del circuit de música jamaicana internacional, prova d'açò són la gran quantitat de temes seus que han aparegut a recopilatoris alemanys (United Colors of Ska, Speechless), japonesos (This Art Moon Ska Vol. 5), francesos (Let's Skank) o nord-americans (100% Latin Ska volums 1 i 2). Han tocat per tot Europa i han compartit escenari amb grans figures de l'ska i el reggae com Laurel Aitken, The Skatalites o Toots and The Maytals

In Dr. Calypso's song 2.300 Milions, the lyrics describe an exciting event that has occurred in Calella de la Costa. Someone has won a large sum of money from a lottery, and the entire town is buzzing with excitement as they try to figure out who it could be. The song captures the frenzied atmosphere that accompanies such an event, as everyone tries to find out who the lucky winner is.
The lyrics also touch on some of the darker aspects of wealth, as the media and bankers try to get their hands on a piece of the fortune. There is a sense of greed and opportunism that pervades the song, as people try to figure out how they can benefit from the winner's newfound wealth.
Despite the excitement and frenzy surrounding the event, the lyrics also impart a valuable lesson about the nature of luck and fortune. The song reminds us that while luck can bring us happiness and excitement, it is important to remain calm and level-headed in the face of sudden wealth. The lyrics suggest that the true reward of good luck is the opportunity to live a fulfilling life, not just the material pleasures that come with it.
