described the music video for "Water", which had been made for $200, "it was inspired from time we spent out in remote communities in central Australia where Traditional Owners of the land were being kept from their sacred sites and precious water holes." Blue King Brown issued their debut album, Stand Up, in October 2006 through their own label, Roots Level Records; in Japan it appeared on Village Again/Sideout with a bonus track. It was recorded at Big Jesus Burger Studios, Sydney with Rize and Santone co-producing; all the tracks were written by Rize including six co-written with Santone. A Triple J reviewer described the group, "With their rootsy reggae and funk, they're currently packing out venues and are faves on the festival circuit." Stand Up was nominated for the J Award of 2006 and their track, "Come and Check Your Head", was listed at No. 100 on the Triple J Hottest 100, 2006. In 2006, aside from performing at the Woodford Folk, East Coast International Blues & Roots Music and West Coast Blues & Roots Festivals, they also performed in Fiji and Japan. By 2008 Goyma had been replaced on drums by Peter Wilkins. Their second album, Worldwize part 1 – North & South, was released in August 2010, which peaked at No. 44 on the ARIA Albums Chart. The two discs were reviewed by Layla Clarke of AU Review; she felt the first disc, North, showed that "steady reggae guitar and drums form the base for the weaving of vocals, brass, strings, piano, and other percussion to create the sounds that make up an individual song." The second disc, South, was a set of "dub tracks" which were "more instrumental and [the disc] is a worthy companion to the first." At the ARIA Music Awards of 2011 it was nominated for Best Blues and Roots Album. Their third album, Born Free (November 2014) had been partially recorded in Kingston's Tuff Gong Studios. AllMusic's Steve Leggett opined that it "finds the band in full passionate flight, delivering contemporary reggae that sounds urgent, necessary, and vital" with the group "quickly becoming a force on the international jam band urban roots scene, mixing reggae with Afro-beat and Latin rhythms and layering them beneath lyrics that cry out for positive social change." In January 2015 Blue King Brown toured Australia to promote Born Free with the line up of Cope, Fredes, Persico,
