In 2014 Soup De Loop's album Brainspotting appeared for digital download worldwide, after being an out of print and expensive Finland-only release for years. The masters were owned by Sony-BMG who had taken over the Blue Bubble Label on which the album was originally released.

In 2011 a Finnish rap compilation "Rappiotaidetta: Suomiräpin Vaippaikä" was released, which features Ebanks performing a song entitled "Keijo Ei Pelaa" under the pseudonym Keijo K from 1990. It is possibly the only released recording of Ebanks rapping in Finnish.

In 2005, the group signed to Universal/Polydor and recorded the album "Reverse Psychology". This album was very different to the previous two, as it had far more of a straightforward hip hop sound, in that respect, more in common with the "Soup De Loop" material. The album was half produced by Salovaara, and the other half by Pentti and Komulainen. The band also experimented more with trance inspired songs such as "Hypnotic" and "Turn It Up", and dance-rock songs such as "No Way In Hell" and "Reverse Psychology". The album also featured a guest appearance from Kurtis Blow, of The Breaks fame. Whilst the album produced the big European hit "No Way In Hell", it quickly became rare and obscure, due to only being released in Scandinavia, Germany and Eastern Europe. DJ Gismo appears on the cover of the album despite not contributing to it, this is likely to be for marketing reasons.

In 2004, Salovaara guested on a number of songs by Beats And Styles. These have been erroneously credited as Bomfunk MC's songs, although the only real difference is the producer.

The band remained popular in Finland and Europe, but lost popularity elsewhere and their last release in the UK was "Super Electric", whose parent album, Burnin' Sneakers was never released in the UK due to poor sales of the single. However, the band contributed the official World Cup 2002 song for Sweden "(Crack It) Something Goin' On", as well as contributed "Put Your Hands Up" and "We R Atomic" to the PlayStation game Firebugs, in which they appeared as playable characters. These appearances revived the band's popularity in the UK, but it wasn't enough for the album to be released there. DJ Gismo left Bomfunk MCs in 2002 in order to join the group Stonedeep. He was replaced by Skillsters duo, which consists of Riku Pentti (DJ) and Okke Komulainen (keyboards).

In 1995, Raymond teamed up with longtime producer Jaakko "JS16" Salovaara and singer Mari Vesala to form the pop group Soup De Loop, and signed to the now defunct Blue Bubble Records. Their music was a combination of female sung house and G-Funk hip hop music, with Mari singing and Raymond providing raps. The group released an album, "Brainspotting" in 1997, as well as several singles including "Keep On Doing", which was a hit in Finland and appeared on several dance compilations around the time. Despite this, the group didn't have any success outside Finland. Mari left the group some time after the album was released, and they broke up rather than look for another singer.

Raymond was born in London to a Jamaican-English father and a Finnish mother. He began recording music as a teenager in the early 90s as part of the hip hop group "The Master Brothers", who often performed over DJ sets at clubs. Whilst no recordings were made, some of their performances were recorded, and have emerged online. Around this time, Raymond performed guest raps on the song Cryin' Out by Rama (1994).

Raymond Anthony Ebanks, aka B.O. Dubb (formerly known as B.O.W.; born 2 January 1970) is a semi-retired Finnish rapper best known as the frontman of the hip-hop group the Bomfunk MC's.
