Having being very quiet and relativley unknown since then, he re-emerged inside the UK Garage scene as The Wookie (Chue - gettit ?) with a fresh unique sound, influenced by the 2-step rhythms of the day.
His compositions remained special, having a slightly more polished sound than his peers. With vocalist Lain, he enjoyed chart success with his piece Battle, despite dance music being firmly on the wane at the time in 2000.

Wookie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you just had enougth, and you see no way out, its alright don't panic, things can work for your crew.
And its ok is what I say, when I'm praying away, and there's a hand from on high, god is never failing,
Everyday is like a battle but we'll overcome, when we get back in the saddle faith will bring us on.
Everyday is like a battle but we'll overcome, when we get back in the saddle faith will bring us on.
All the promises I have, hidden deep in my heart, I recall after all, of my worst existence, it simply says that when or less, that feeling blessed in my life, he will send the word I need, to restore contempt me.
I can always relay on my faith to, get by, we all can if we try.
Everyday is like a battle but we'll overcome, when we get back in the saddle faith will bring us on.
You just took in hiding, from yourself always slip-sliding, everyday a mask your wearing, trying to show your surviving, on the run from soul 2 soul, but you can never find your goal, you lose the spirit at the cost and now your soul it could be lost
The lyrics to Wookie's song "Battle" describe the struggles of everyday life and the importance of having faith to overcome obstacles. The opening verse describes someone who is constantly running and hiding from themselves, wearing a mask to show that they are surviving. They are on the run from others, but more importantly, from their own soul. They have lost touch with their spirit and risk losing themselves entirely.
The chorus provides a message of hope and reassurance. When one feels like they have had enough and cannot see a way out, they should not panic. Things can work out for them and their crew. It's okay to pray and have faith in a higher power that will never fail them. Everyday feels like a battle, but with faith, they can overcome and get back in the saddle.
The lyrics then describe the importance of holding onto promises, especially during the worst times in one's existence. The promises they hold in their heart bring them comfort and reassurance that even in the darkest of times, they will be given the word they need to restore themselves. They can always rely on their faith to get them through life's struggles.
Overall, "Battle" is a message of hope and faith in the face of adversity. It encourages the listener to not give up, even when life is tough.

Fugitive in hiding from yourself,
always slip-sliding,
everyday a mask your wearing,
trying to show your surviving,
on the run from soul II soul,
but you can never find your goal,
you lose the spirit at the cost,
and now your soul it could be lost.
