Which left Una Kolo & Shorty MIC to do the music biz as a duo. After a brief pause from making music Shorty MIC & Una Kolo decided to change the crew name to Street Souljahs and the music chemistry was back but this time with a different vision, to work with different rappers and sounds. Shortly after Shorty MIC was given a contact through a co worker at his workplace which lead to another member to join the Street Souljahs a female rap artist from Geelong who goes by the name of Lil Tusha. Shorty MIC & Una Kolo Decided to keep Lil Tusha as a permanent member of The Street Souljahs. So now it’s back to three members in the crew but only temporarily. Occasionally Millz will come back in and jump on a track to bring in the Southside flow making the group complete for a short period. But soon Millz will be back making the rap group complete making it the way it started as a four person group.
