The next album by Natalac was Bare Truth, released in 2003.

He also released an album in 2013 called A Pimp named Slickback thats Natalac, named after the Boondock Saints character based on Natalac.[3][11]
Later on Natalac started focusing more on his hip-hop label and on the releases that highlighted local talent. This included an album executive produced and released by Natalac Records called The Best of South Carolina; a collection of the best songs from South Carolina artists.[3]
