In 2002, Rimbaud recorded an acoustic album, "Beast of Broadway" with some songs produced by Brian Ritchie of the Violent Femmes. These songs were written in Brazil and New York and recorded in lower Manhattan. 2003 saw the release of "Light of Day" a tribute to Bruce Springsteen, with Rimbaud's rockabilly inspired rendition of Atlantic City. He also performed at the Stone Pony with other artists to help promote the CD. Between 2004 and 2008 Rimbaud continued to record and perform with his band The Subway Sun, this coincides with shows of his paintings, a series of over 50 portraits of Lower East Siders, portraits of American, French and Haitian Revolutionaries and paintings from Brazil.
