In the same year Frisco also battled ‘Scorcher’ of the collective ‘The Movement’ which stemmed from the Boy Better Know vs Movement conflict. The feud ended with both MC’s, as part of their respective crews working together on numerous songs together. Years that followeded saw Frisco continue to release great mixtapes in the form of Back 2 Da Lab Volume 3 and Volume 4, EP's such as Have That EP and the Tear Drops EP and his debut album Fully Grown.
