Shaddix stopped using rapping as a whole in their 2004 album "Getting Away with Murder". In an interview in 2004, Shaddix said that he became disenchanted with hip hop and what it represented in the media and stated that "I just want to be a rocker", also stating in 2009 that it was safe to assume he wouldn't be rapping again. However, in 2012, Shaddix started rapping again in the album "The Connection". There were some tracks on their 2017 album Crooked Teeth (album) that featured rapping.
