Editing 24-7 Spyz (section)

===The Enemy Label===
When Hazel and Skatore discovered how popular the first two albums remained in [[Europe]], they reunited with Anthony Johnson and P. Fluid, now performing as Forrest (his real last name) to release ''[[Temporarily Disconnected]]'', produced by Jimi Hazel. The album was released exclusively in [[Europe]] by [[Enemy Records]], and was followed by a quick tour of the continent before Johnson and Fluid left the band once again.

In March 1996, ''6'', produced by Jimi Hazel, was released exclusively in Europe through the Enemy label. The album contained covers of [[The Association]]'s "[[Along Comes Mary]]" and [[Love (band)|Love]]'s "[[7 and 7 Is]]." The album was titled ''6'' due to it being the sixth release by the band. In September 1996, What Are Records released ''[[Heavy Metal Soul by the Pound]]'', the [[United States|American]] version of ''6''. The track listing would remain almost identical to ''6'' with the exception of the removal of "Along Comes Mary" and "7 and 7 Is" and the additions of "Earth And Sky" and "Save The World" as replacements. Both versions of the album saw the band returning as a trio with Jimi Hazel on guitar and lead vocals, Rick Skatore on bass and Joel Maitoza returning to the drums for the first time in four years. Two tracks recorded before Maitoza's return featured guest drummer Carlton Smith. Additional vocals were contributed by [[Doug Pinnick]] of [[King's X]] for the songs "Love And Peace" and "Yeah X 3". The 1997 tour to support the album featured Matt Martin on drums.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.mcall.com/news/mc-xpm-1997-03-08-3129566-story.html/|title=SPOTLIGHT ON 24-7 SPYZ SKA-ROCK PIONEERS RETURN WITH A NEW WEAPON IN THEIR FIGHT AGAINST A BLOATED AND INEFFICIENT MUSIC INDUSTRY|website=Mcall.com|date=March 8, 1997|access-date=August 6, 2023}}</ref>

In 1997, the ''[[If I Could (EP)|If I Could]]'' EP, featuring remixes and live performances recorded while Maitoza was still a member, was released exclusively through the band's fan club. In 1998, a disagreement between Hazel and Skatore led to the dissolution of 24-7 Spyz. In the months prior to the breakup, drummer Tony Lewis had been performing with the band.
