With James Fauntleroy serving as lead singer on each song, the group has collectively released four full-length projects: The Pursuit EP (2011), Ghost Lady EP (2011), Express OG EP (2012) and The Flower of Life (2013).[2][3]

History

On June 22, 2011, an extended play (EP) titled Cocaine 80s: The Pursuit, surfaced online.[4] The Pursuit EP features vocals from Steve Wyreman, Rob Kinelski, Kevin Randolph (now he produces Jaz (musician), James Fauntleroy, Makeba Riddick and more.[5][6] On October 21, 2011, another EP was released, titled Cocaine 80s: Ghost Lady.[7][8] In December 2011, Chicago-bred rapper Common released his ninth album, The Dreamer/The Believer. The album was produced entirely by No I.D. and features additional vocal from Makeba Riddick and James Fauntleroy, on several tracks. In October 2012, Jhené Aiko revealed to The Singers Room that she is recording a project with No I.D. and the rest of Cocaine 80s and that they would also be featured on her upcoming Def Jam debut, Souled Out: "Me and the Cocaine 80s is made up of musicians, singers and producers. I told them I wanted to be a part of the Cocaine 80s. I wanted to be the female voice of the group. They will be featured on ‘Souled Out’. Yes, we are definitely working on a mixtape or album together. That is definitely in the works.[9] In June 2014, "To Love & Die", the first single from Aiko's debut album was released, which credits Cocaine 80s as the featured performers.
