Though Sub Verse came very close to getting bought or invested in by MCA, with the industry in decline the label eventually ran out of money and could not put out records that would at least make the cost back. The events of 9/11 also took their toll on the morale and the financial fortunes of the NY company.[http://www.grooveon.com.au/content.cfm?article=3169] These factors occurred just as Sub Verse's music started to become more broadly accessible, with releases by MF DOOM, the important release of KMD's Bl ck B st rds, and LPs and singles by some up and coming artists such as C-Rayz Walz, BukueOne, Tariq L and DMS. Sub Verse put out its last release, a compilation called "Seditious Jewels", in 2003.
