Craig Smart & Mazaya) which reached #75 on the German charts. The next single "Do you wanna die" should be released mid-May 2000, but this never happened.

In the beginning of 2001, A.K. signed a deal with "In-Motion AG" record label "Bookmark" , and had completed a project together with "S. Oliver" and the "BBL Allstars" (Basketball Bundesliga) with the song "You Know The Names". Then a long break again.
