His next album, Avantgardening: Cultivating Food for Thought, was released in September 2007 and was in collaboration with Mine+Us (pronounced minus). Another collaboration, this time with Sirah, followed; Clean Windows Dirty Floors was released in 2007 and was noted for containing "a winning mix of wit, humor, ability, and perspective".

In 2009, he released his second solo album, Network Networth, which contained his hit single Up Jumped the Boogie. He then released another collaboration with Mine+Us called Day By Day.
