Members of C.O.T.M.B. went on to perform in music videos for artists such as Madonna, 5ive & Rudamental. The crew took many titles between 2001 and 2006 and were one of the front running teams in the UK.
Before turning professional as a B-Boy, Seek was already a part of DJ Woody's all element Hip Hop crew (M.E.N.T.A.L crew) which stands for Mind Expansion Near The Absolute Level. In 1997 Seek competed against B-Boy Mouse in Manchester. They would later team up to create the B-Boy crew Tron2.

Tron 2 were invited by Skeg to compete at his legendary club night Breakin Bread[4] in Brixton, London. The events featured the best crews from the south of England. Tron 2's reputation had managed to reach Skeg's attention, who invited them down to battle ay his night. Tron 2 quickly established themselves as a formidable crew and would be invited to many events including DJ Hooch's Funkin Pussy night at the Electric Ballroom. Tron 2 would go on to meet the crew Chunks of Funk at these events. Chunks of Funk introduced Tron 2 to Bad Taste Cru[5] and Mystery Machines, and all 4 crews combined to create Children of the Monkey Basket[6]
