Tras la separación de la pareja en 1995, Pete Rock, cuyo trabajo con CL le había ganado uina reputación como de los mejores productores en el hip hop, pasó a producir y remezclar temas para docenas de grupos, tanto principiantes como consolidados, y a producir varios álbumes, tanto instrumentales como en solitario. C.L. Smooth se mantuvo musicalmente inactivo. La reconciliación de la pareja solo ha servido para para grabar cinco canciones aisladas en los diez años posteriores a su separación: "Da Two," "Back On Da Block," "Fly 'Til I Die," "Appreciate," y "It's A Love Thing. " Han habido rumores de una reunión definitiva y de un nuevo álbum para 2004. Sin embargo, la especulación fue deshechada por ambas parejas tras una nueva discusión. Durante su período de inactividad, C.L. Smooth declinó incluso aparecer como invitado en los álbumes de otros artistas, con la excepción de "Only the Strong Survive" con DJ Krush en 1996. Recientemente, sin embargo, ha contribuido con colaboraciones vocales con AZ ("Magic Hour"), Nujabes ("Sky is Falling") y el afiliado a Dipset J. R. Writer (el remix de "Mesmerize").

The pair managed to reconcile their differences only long enough to record five isolated tracks in the ten years since their split: "Da Two," "Back On Da Block," "Fly 'Til I Die," "Appreciate," and "It's A Love Thing. " There were talks of a definitive reunion and a new album in 2004; however, the speculation was dismissed by both parties after another fallout. During his period of hiatus, C.L. Smooth declined even to appear as a guest on other artists' albums, with the exception of "Only the Strong Survive" with DJ Krush in 1996. Recently, however, he has contributed featured guest vocals to songs by AZ ("Magic Hour"), Nujabes ("Sky is Falling") and Dipset affiliate J. R. Writer (the remix of "Mesmerize") or Supafuh ("Act of Faith"). He released his debut solo album, American Me, in 2007. To promote the album, Shaman Work released a promotional mixtape compiled by DJ J Period called Man On Fire in late April 2006, featuring 36 minutes of freestyles and a remixed version of the track "Impossible". He was also been featured on the DJ Jazzy Jeff album The Return of the Magnificent on the track "All I Know", which was also featured in the video game NBA Live 08. In October 2010 C.L. Smooth and Pete Rock headlined the "Clean Energy Tour," which had six shows all over California and focused on voter mobilization leading up to the November mid-term elections. He has developed an interest in climate change and become a vocal opponent of Proposition 23.
- CL Smooth est un rappeur américain, membre du duo Pete Rock & CL Smooth, formé avec le producteur Pete Rock. Après la séparation du duo en 1995, Pete Rock, dont la collaboration avec C.L. Smooth lui a valu d'être reconnu comme l'un des plus grands producteurs de hip-hop, s'est mis à produire et remixer des morceaux pour les plus grands noms. Il a aussi sorti plusieurs albums solo et instrumentaux. C.L. Smooth quant à lui est resté musicalement inactif. Le duo a réussi à concilier ses différences juste assez longtemps pour enregistrer cinq morceaux isolés ces dix dernières années: "Da Two", "Back On Da Block», «Fly 'Til I Die", "Appreciate", et "It's A Love Thing ". Le projet d'une reformation du duo pour un nouvel album en 2004 n'a finalement pas abouti. Durant cette période, C.L. Smooth a le plus souvent décliné les invitations à apparaître sur les albums d'autre artistes, excepté pour quelques rares collaborations comme "Only the Strong Survive" avec DJ Krush en 1996 et plus récemment avec AZ sur "Magic Hour", Nujabes sur "Sky is Falling", J. R. Writer sur le remix de "Mesmerize" ou encore Supafuh sur "Act of Faith". En 2007, il sort son premier album solo American Me. Pour le promouvoir, Shaman Work sort fin avril 2006 "Man On Fire", une mixtape promotionnelle mixée par J. Period, regroupant 36 minutes de Freestyles et un remix du morceau "Impossible". CL Smooth est aussi apparu sur l'album The Return of the Magnificent de DJ Jazzy Jeff dans "All I Know" (morceau également utilisé dans le jeux vidéo NBA Live 08). Fin octobre 2010, C.L. Smooth est apparu en compagnie de Pete Rock au "Clean Energy Tour," consistant en six shows à travers la Californie afin de mobiliser l'électorat dans la lutte contre le réchauffement climatique.
