Since then, Black Vulcanite have shared the stage with many a South African Hip Hop greats and have collaborated with both local and international acts.

The group plans to invade foreign markets to gather a larger following before unveiling a studio album under Rude World records, narrating their individual journeys into adulthood and the events that brought them together.
