Editing 3rd Bass (section)

== Breakup ==
In 1992, Serch co-wrote and produced several tracks for Detroit rapper [[Boss (rapper)|Boss]]'s only album, ''[[Born Gangstaz]].'' He released a solo record, ''[[Return of the Product]]'', in August of that year, which included the second major label recording of [[Nasir Jones|Nas]] (credited in the liner notes as "Nasty Nas") and featured the single "Back To The Grill Again." Meanwhile, Nice and Rich teamed up as Prime Minister Pete Nice & Daddy Rich, and released their only album, ''[[Dust to Dust (Pete Nice and DJ Richie Rich album)|Dust to Dust]]'' in 1993. The leadoff single, "Rat Bastard," contained voice samples from ''[[The Silence of the Lambs (film)|The Silence of the Lambs]]'' and was rumored to reflect bad blood between the pair and Serch, though it was not confirmed. The follow-up was "Kick the Bobo," which received light airplay on [[MTV]] and [[Black Entertainment Television|BET]] but was unable to become a sizeable hit. Neither Nice nor Serch were able to achieve much popularity on their own after 3rd Bass disbanded.

Around the time of the split, Serch was involved with the production of the movie ''[[Zebrahead (film)|Zebrahead]]''. As recalled by actor [[Michael Rapaport]], Serch originally wanted to star in the film but was unable to secure the role, and ended up producing the film's soundtrack instead. After serving a stint at now-defunct [[Wild Pitch Records]], he founded Serchlite, a record label and publishing company responsible for signing another group of white New York hip-hop artists, [[Non Phixion]] (who broke up in 2006).

3rd Bass reunited for a gig at the birthday party of Andy Hilfiger (brother of [[Tommy Hilfiger]]) in 1998. They also performed at [[Woodstock 1999]], and released a non-charting single, "Hail to the Chief." There had also been talks of a new album entitled ''Ichabod's Cranium'', but any long-term reunion and album plans were ultimately scrapped.

Nice retired from the music business and opened a baseball [[sports memorabilia|memorabilia]] store in [[Cooperstown, New York|Cooperstown]], [[New York (state)|New York]]. He published a book, ''Baseball Legends of Brooklyn's Green-Wood Cemetery,'' under his real name in 2003,<ref name="arcadia">[http://www.arcadiapublishing.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=arcadia&Product_Code=0738534781&Product_Count=&Category_Code= Arcadia Publishing] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071025055442/http://www.arcadiapublishing.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=arcadia&Product_Code=0738534781&Product_Count=&Category_Code= |date=October 25, 2007 }}</ref> in addition to attempting to secure property for an official gravesite of [[Negro league]] players. Serch hosted the [[VH1]] reality TV series ''Ego Trip's [[The White Rapper Show]]''. Nash also produced a documentary about the [[Royal Rooters|Rooters]], with interviews filmed in an old gas station in Cooperstown that he was turning into a museum of baseball fan history stocked with much of the memorabilia he was gathering.<ref name="rtr">[https://web.archive.org/web/20091213102504/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/the_bonus/12/09/nash/index.html Sports Illustrated "From rapper to baseball collector, the wild tale of Peter Nash"]</ref> In 2007 Nice, along with [[Dropkick Murphys]] member Ken Casey, opened ''McGreevy's 3rd Base Saloon'', a baseball history-themed sports bar, in Boston in April 2008.<ref name="mcg">{{Cite web |url=http://www.mcgreevysboston.com/ |title=McGreevy's – Official Site |access-date=June 8, 2008 |archive-date=June 19, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160619073853/http://www.mcgreevysboston.com/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> In 2009 MC Serch was featured on rapper [[Kurious]]'s album ''II'' and music video by [[Amalgam Digital]].<ref name="Kurious">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAJT5E48jn0 Kurious – Benetton ft MC Serch & MF DOOM]</ref>

On April 6, 2013, MC Serch announced on Facebook that 3rd Bass would reunite after over 20 years to tour in celebration of The Cactus Album's 25th anniversary.  However, they only did two shows that year: a reunion show at a club in Brooklyn in July, and a cameo appearance on Labor Day at a festival in Indianapolis.

On November 8, 2024, the group performed together for the first time in 11 years at WBLS' 50th anniversary concert. A 2025 North American tour has been announced.
