In 1999, the band appeared on a split CD release with Swedish band Dozer. The Unida portion was titled The Best of Wayne-Gro EP. Later that year, they released their debut full length album entitled Coping with the Urban Coyote on the now defunct Man's Ruin Records.
Relations with their next record company in New Jersey, American Recordings, ended with legal problems. Their second album, The Great Divide, was originally scheduled for release in 2001 but is now in limbo. The album has surfaced on the internet in bootleg form. In a 2002 interview, bassist Scott Reeder spoke out about the delay in getting the full-length album released.
"Everything was set to come out on American via Columbia Records, and you know, we've been meeting a lot of people who've been working on it," he explained. "The artwork was done, everything was looking really good, and then, I guess, (American owner) Rick Rubin had a falling out with Sony, moved the whole label over to Island Def Jam, and apparently, after months of being just strung along — 'Oh, yeah, the release date got bumped back a little bit' — finally we found out that somebody at the label didn't like the record, so they didn't want to deal with it. The lawyers had to go back and forth for months and months and months — a chess game where every move takes two months... 'You have sixty days to reply to this letter'...and...so we just got out of the deal, a month ago."
Since the delay, John Garcia has released three studio albums and one live album with Hermano and toured with the band in the latter half of 2008. In 2004, Unida appeared on the High Times Records' High Volume: The Stoner Rock Collection, contributing the track Left Us To Mold. Garcia is also working on a solo album. Arthur Seay (principal song writer, guitarist) and Mike Cancino (Drums) along with their longtime friend Eddie Plascencia (who also has been filling the bass duties in Unida recently) have started a new band called House of Broken Promises (H.O.B.P.). H.O.B.P. have also filmed a video with Rick Kosick (from Jackass fame) to coincide with the release of their forthcoming album "Using the Useless".
Unida's song "Black Woman" was featured on the soundtrack to the skateboarding video game Tony Hawk's Underground.

These lyrics are repeated throughout the song and suggest a sense of frustration or confusion. The Spanish lyrics translate to "I can't find the lyrics anywhere" and the repetitive nature of the lyrics give the impression that the singer is desperately searching for something that they just can't seem to find.
While the lyrics may seem nonsensical on the surface, they could be interpreted in a larger context to represent a deeper search for meaning or identity. The repetition of the phrase "no la encuentro la letra" could symbolize a feeling of being lost or uncertain in the world, struggling to find direction or purpose. The singer may be searching for answers or some kind of guidance, but it seems that they are coming up empty-handed.
Overall, the lyrics to Unida's "Slaylina" may seem simple and repetitive, but they could be interpreted in a number of ways. The repetition and frustration in the lyrics could represent a deep-seated desire for something that seems impossible to attain, highlighting the struggle of the human experience.

I can't pray tonight
She's got to get up and take it down like
She's gone tonight
Let's see what she's like she's still gone
Tonight he employs her
She'll live her life
Tonight she adores him

No pray yesterday
She's got to get up and pull it down away
(Some night?) to live
Yes she runs (still down?)
She's still gone
Tonight this is my turn just to hold you
Tonight this is my turn ?????
It's to late for ?????
