The album went moderately successful and helped Damian to make his distinctive impression on the listeners.

Damian released his second studio album "Halfway Tree" in 2001. The album had a symbolic cover that presented his parents' different background and social roots. The album got a critical reception and charted on Billboard's reggae top albums for almost 158 weeks. In the following year's Grammy Awards, Damian won a Grammy in the category of Best Reggae Album.

In the year 2005, Damian released his third studio album "Welcome to Jamrock" that also featured other guest musicians like Black Thought and Nas.  It was released under the family-owned record label known as Tuff Gong.

With the sales of 559308 records, the album was certified as Gold by the RIAA. Damian's work earned him critical praise also and this time he won two Grammys for the same album.

The following album once again combined Damian and Nas, hence borrowing the name "Distant Relatives" due to the shared music and ancestral bond between the two artists. The album was release in 2010. Garnering positive reviews from the music circles, the album performed well on the charts. It topped the US reggae, R&B and rap charts and became the second top ten album of Damian.

During the course, Damian also collaborated with many other renowned musicians like Joss Stones, A.R. Rehman and Dave Stewart in a music project named "SuperHeavy" in 2011. The album with the same name was launched in September 2011 that turned out to be a moderate success, entering Billboard top 40.
