2-4 of the Snypaz moved out of Chicago and resides currently in St. Louis, while the rest of the group remains on home grounds. He's keeping contact with the group driving back and forth from the Lou to Chi-Town. 2-4 mentions what the Snypaz are up to:“We doin' some shit with The Legion Records and workin' on the mixtape. But everything bein' pushed back till they recoup from Do or Die. I'm workin' on my solo joint out here." Snypaz first hit major label status with their 2000 album "Livin' In the Scope" on Rap-A-Lot Records. Many wonder whether or not the group is still signed to Rap-A-Lot or not. 2-4 spills his mess with R-A-L:“Well they breached the contract a long time ago. Theoretically we still under contract by them, because we haven't went down there to protest it and go to court. But by us signing our contracts in Houston, we have to go down there to fight it to get that money they owe to us. They owe us like crazy money, but none of us are in a situation to get down there.” Most major labels utilize their abilities to promote and advertise a project at a higher level. However, 2-4 feels otherwise about the Houston label. “That album (Livin' In the Scope) should have been platinum. We were before our time on there. We did tracks we got from Mike Dean. The Outlawz, Spice-1 on them. Paid them cats, Rap-A-Lot didn't even release the songs on the album. They didn't promote it, they didn't push it. I put the whole blame on Rap-A-Lot. And the new guys coming out on Rap-A-Lot, I feel sorry for them. I think they(R-A-L) are career killers.”

Additional controversy and issues continued in 2002 from the Snypaz self-titled R-A-L album. The group already was trying to end their contract before this release. 2-4 unfolds the madness saying, “They slapped that shit together, changed a couple beats on it. We had some guys from Chicago on it, tryin' to help them out. (R-A-L) Took they tracks off it, put somebody else on it. They basically did whatever the fuck they wanted. I didn't even get the album from them, we had to go to Georges (local music shop) to get a copy. Spice-1 ain't even on there, we paid them to get him on there. They just full of shit. I wouldn't suggest nobody to fuck wit them. The people fuckin' with them we gonna pray for them (laughs).”

2-4 maintains to use his present Missouri surroundings well. He's been working with STL producer Trak Starz and one of Tech N9ne's affiliates, Xtacy out of Kansas City to name a few. Snypaz stay on the move with projects waiting to put an infrared dot on all targets.
