the Trackmasters sound became less popular. In 2005, they produced the track "Dunn Natt" (Done That) with Vanilla Ice. Although they did produce some new music around the time, for example Rihanna's "If It's Lovin' That You Want" (the second single of her debut album), Trackmasters were not highly regarded as the sought after producers they once were. 2005−present: Reformation After 2005, beats by the Trackmasters were heard less in mainstream hip-hop and R&B, and Poke and Tone had disbanded and taken on new jobs; Poke as a television producer and Tone as the Executive Vice President of A&R at Universal Music Group.
