In 2012, Geechi Suede collaborated with TheeKIDICARUS on a song "Ask About Me" where TheeKIDICARUS would produce the track. They also confirmed a 2011 release for a new collaboration album with Pete Rock, as they form their new group '80 Blocks From Tiffanys'. The duo released a new single titled "Lumdi", produced by Korleon. In April 2008, Camp Lo signed with SRC/Universal Records and changed its name to the Lo, on the recommendation from DJ Mr. In 2007, the duo returned with Black Hollywood after a five-year hiatus from their previous release. Shortly after the album's release, Aesop Rock enlisted the duo to appear on his album Bazooka Tooth, exposing them to fans of the underground Definitive Jux label. This effort was not nearly as well-received as their debut, and was met with mediocre reviews and sales. They finally returned with another album in 2002, titled Let's Do It Again. They collaborated with De La Soul in 2000, on the song "So Good" from the Hip Hop 101 Compilation. Also in 1997, they appeared on Oran "Juice" Jones' single "Poppin' That Fly". The album's 1970s styled content was influential on a number of artists within the next few years after its release, like Will Smith, who enlisted Camp Lo for an appearance on his top-selling Big Willie Style album. Guest appearances were provided by De La Soul's Trugoy and Digable Planets' Butterfly. The majority of the album was produced by Ski, famous for his work with Jay-Z. The effort was widely acclaimed, praised for its accessible content and smooth, funk- and jazz-inspired production. The duo released their debut album Uptown Saturday Night in January 1997. The track peaked at #74 in the UK Singles Chart in August 1997.
The song became a crossover hit in 1997, breaking into the Top 50 on the Billboard Hot 100, and reaching the top 5 on the Hot Rap Singles chart. Their first major exposure came with the release of their second single, the upbeat, horn-driven "Luchini", otherwise known as "This Is It". The smooth party song was a minor hit, peaking at #25 on the Billboard Hot Rap Singles chart. Initially signed with Profile Records, Camp Lo made their first appearance in 1996 on The Great White Hype soundtrack, with their single, "Coolie High".
