All beats for the Rydas music are stolen, or used without permission, from mainstream artists such as Nelly, The Godfather and Cypress Hill. If a lawsuit were ever to be filed against them, they would just close down the label and walk. To date, The Rydas remain free from legal action.
As the Rydas, the artists take on the aliases of Bullet (Violent J), Full Clip (Shaggy 2 Dope), Foe Foe (Monoxide), Lil' Shank (Jamie Madrox), Cell Block (Blaze Ya Dead Homie), and Yung Dirt (Boondox).
Compared to their alter egos on Psychopathic Records, the Rydas are unique in that their music is not horrorcore, but gangsta rap.
In 2000, Myzery left Psychopathic Records, hence removing Twin Gatz from the Rydas lineup. Many believed the group would be weakened because of this, but the group remained stronger than ever. In 2001, their second album was released at the 2nd Gathering and was entitled Ryden Dirtay. It featured the remaining five Rydas and is widely considered to be better than the first album.
Also in 2002, Pendulum #7 from the Pendulum comic books was released, featuring 3 Rydas solo songs: What Rydas Do Fo Money?, by Full Clip, and Who Wanna Flex? & I Don't Wanna Die, by Bullet.
Their third album, Check Your Shit in Bitch!, was released in 2004. This album featured "Sawed Off" and "Converse", bringing the Rydas lineup to its highest at 7 members, and featured 13 brand new tracks. Plus, an untitled EP was sold alongside the album at the 2004 Gathering, featuring a song off the album called Scrimps, as well as three exclusive songs. Also, at that year's Gathering the Rydas performed at the Mystery Seminar, minus Converse.
On October 21, 2005, Esham officially left Psychopathic Records, as did Anybody Killa on February 3, 2006, therefore removing Sawed Off and Converse from the lineup.
There are currently 6 members in the group working on a new album in their portable studio while on The Tempest Tour. In a recent interview from Violent J from faygoluvers.net, the title of the new album will be Duk Da Fuk Down, and it is expected to be released sometime in 2007. The new lineup will be Violent J, Shaggy 2 Dope, Jamie Madrox, Monoxide, Blaze Ya Dead Homie, and at the time newly added Boondox.
In the special Gathering 07' addition of Weekly Freekly Weekly on the scrolling text box says one of the new rydas name is Yung Dirt, pointing to Boondox because of the southern roots and talking bout "the red dirt looks like blood" from lyrics on his songs.
In July 2007, the new Psychopathic Rydas video for the song Duk Da Fuk Down was released, introducing the new member Yung Dirt (Boondox). The video shows gangsta rap imagery, continuing the classic and known Psychopathic Rydas themes.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
muthafucka!!!!! Hehehe
Stepped in the spot, Rydas set deep
Some faggot ass mothafucka wanna get his peep on
I said, "relax, I'm taggin' this kid's bitch
Besides, my trigger finger's startin' to itch."
Fool steps up, startin' to wanna talk shit
Fallin' to the floor, the mothafucka keeps talkin'
So I pulled my shit, he got a slug in the noggin
Slug in ya noggin!
(Slug in ya noggin)
Slug in ya noggin!
Ya better think twice
Slug in ya noggin!
(Slug in ya noggin)
Slug in ya noggin!
Ya head ain't nice
My turn? Wait. Lemme check this
One bullet...I miss
And I'ma have to walk all the way over there
And stick something sharp in your neck
Wack
Lookin' nothin' like a homicidal lunatic
I'd rather just shoot you and be done with it
Forget it
I ain't about to miss
I'ma leave his eyeball hangin' out like Bushwick
Down to peel your cap quick
Fuck all this rap shit
You're a long way from home
Infra-red beam on your dome
No mercy on a hater now I caught ya sleepin'
Creepin'
With the window open, Foe Foe peepin'
Heat seekin'
Bullets no bullshit, second guesses
Have your family up in black dresses
I'm a thug
Who only need one slug
No love
First shot
Punch his lights, time clock
Slug in ya noggin!
(Slug in ya noggin)
Slug in ya noggin!
Ya better think twice
Slug in ya noggin!
(Slug in ya noggin)
Slug in ya noggin!
Ya head ain't nice
Slug in ya noggin!

Slug in ya noggin!
Ya better think twice
Slug in ya noggin!
(Slug in ya noggin)
Slug in ya noggin!
Ya head ain't nice
You better back up bitch 'fore I peel your wig back
Or your face get cracked
By my Louisville bat
You punk mothafucka, why you still talkin' shit?
Don't you know I be from the Ryda clique?
I be Cell Block, and if you wanna fight
Bring it on mothafucka, 'cause tonight's the night
For you to meet your maker at the end of the fall
Because Rydas are known to put slugs in ya noggin
First things first, I done clapped one kid tonight
Now this mothafucka wanna flap his jaws at the
stoplight
Yo, I'm a Ryda, I don't give a fuck who you know
Bitch, I'm Full Clip, so I pulled him out his window
Beast scared of beef, and yo, I'm by myself
He had 320 and reachin' everything on the top shelf
However big, I don't give a fuck, you know the slogan
Cock the gat back, boo-yaa!! Slug in the noggin
Slug in ya noggin!
(Slug in ya noggin)
Slug in ya noggin!
Ya better think twice
