DJ Touché now goes by the pseudonym Fake Blood and makes up one half of the The Black Ghosts (the other member coming from the now defunct electronic group Simian). Regal has released some solo material since 2006. Over the years, talk of a reunion have long endured, and fans don't count the group out just yet.

This joint is for fellas, and the chickens, and the BJ's
Influential DJ's

No worry no power no fret and never doubt
Get the bounty like the brother Boba Fett then we out
[chorus]
The Wiseguys's song Who The Hell? is a unique and interesting song with many deep and insightful lyrics. The song opens with the repetition of "La la la" followed by "I said it's fresh," and then goes on to explore the universe and the singer's place in it. The lyrics touch on themes of jealousy, overzealousness, and darkness in the world, as well as the power of music and the role of the DJ in setting the tone of a party. There are also references to the birth of hip-hop, the struggle for supremacy among MCs, and the importance of staying true to oneself.
One of the standout lyrics in the song is "Toil toil toil 2 4 7 3 6 5, Now that's all ya read, But I'm ??" This line speaks to the idea that while many people may only see the surface level of a person, there is always more to the story. The use of numbers also adds a mysterious and cryptic element to the lyrics. Another notable line is "No matter how much gold ya got, I got da diamonds, da diamond mines, da diamond eyes," which speaks to the idea that material possessions do not define a person's true worth or character.
