Several songs were reproduced on future Sick  Wid It releases, including: "Time to Mobb" ("It Ain't 4 Play"), "Funk Season" ("Killa Kali"), "Feel Ness Real" ("All Frames of the Game"), "Can My Nine Get Ate" ("The Hemp Museum"), "Get a Bar of This Game" ("Have Heart Have Money") and "Did Dat" ("Paper Chasin'"). The song, "Get a Bar of This Game" was slightly altered and retitled to, "Show No Shame", when it appeared on The Mossie's debut album in 1997. Several new groups were introduced on this compilation that would go on to release albums in 1996–1997, including: "Funk Mobb" (G-Note, K-1 & Mac Shawn ) who released "It Ain't 4 Play" in 1996, Playaz Tryna Strive (Filthy Rich & T-Pup) who released "All Frames of the Game" in 1996 and The Mossie (Kaveo, Mugzi & Tap Dat Ass) who released "Have Heart Have Money" in 1997. Although they appeared on several other Sick Wid It releases from the mid-to-late nineties, A-1 (Big Bone & D-Day) waited almost five years to release their debut album, "Mash Confusion" was released in the summer of 1999. Reservoir Hoggz (Paulay & Rhythm X) never released an album, although Rhythm X had previously released a solo album in 1994  titled, "Long Overdue". Levitti was scheduled to release an album in the late nineties titled, "So Fly", although that album never saw the light of day.
