When the Separate Minds later decided to go their separate ways, Trackmaster Lou continued to make his presence felt throughout the Detroit scene and the world with a slew of releases on the labels Underground Resistance, 430 West, Direct Hit, FFRR, and Makin Madd Records.

Keeping his style and name underground, Trackmaster Lou makes himself known to the public through diverse guises and surnames such as: Unknown Force, The Specialist, Blac The Shadow, & Scan 7.
