A short tour of Poland and numerous UK dates soon followed and Skill Mega spent the following year cultivating new songs for their debut album, occasionally playing out in Poland and popping up for a quick cameo alongside Tame One on OSTR's critically acclaimed '7' album.
By the tail end of 2006 Skill Mega's debut Album 'Normal Magic' was finally finished, incorporating the talents of the three main Megas alongside Uncle Dickie, Witchdocter Wise, Amanda Stevens and Zebra Traffic's rising star Rup the Cnut. The release date in Poland is May 16th 2007.
In Feb 2007 Dan Fresh featured on the song "Po Co?" taken from O.S.T.R.'s gold selling album "HollyLodz".
2007 sees SkillMega working hard on a follow up album, this time bringing along Wandsworth based rapper Jid Sames and OSTR (on vocals) for the ride...
