Tricky's studio album ''[[Knowle West Boy]]'' was released in the UK and Ireland in July 2008, and September 2008 in the US. The first single from the album was "Council Estate" and features the artist as the sole vocalist: "It's the first single I've ever done with just me on vocals. I couldn't whisper that song. I had to come out of myself and do a loud, screaming vocal. I wanted to be a proper frontman on that one."<ref>{{cite web |title=New Tricky Video – 'Council Estate' |url=http://www.stereogum.com/10016/new_tricky_video_council_estate/video/ |website=Stereogum.com |access-date=24 June 2013 |first=Amrit |last=Singh |date=27 May 2008}}</ref> In an interview with ''[[The Skinny (magazine)|The Skinny]]'' in July 2008, Tricky mentioned that ''Knowle West Boy'' was the first album for which he decided to enlist a co-producer. Ex-[[Suede (band)|Suede]] guitarist [[Bernard Butler]] was Tricky's initial selection, but, less than enamoured with Butler's technical prowess, Tricky finished the album by totally re-recording all of the material.<ref>{{cite news |title=Tricky: Real Gone Kid |first=Dave |last=Kerr |url=http://www.theskinny.co.uk/article/43387-tricky-real-gone-kid |newspaper=The Skinny |date=30 July 2008 |access-date=14 August 2011}}</ref>

On 8 December 2009, Tricky's 1995 debut album ''Maxinquaye'' was reissued with a bonus 13-track CD featuring [[A-side and B-side|B-sides]], [[outtake]]s and seven previously unreleased mixes of songs such as "Overcome", "Hell is Round the Corner" and "[[Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos|Black Steel]]".<ref>{{cite web |title=Tricky – Maxinquaye |url=http://www.discogs.com/Tricky-Maxinquaye/release/2371991 |publisher=discogs |access-date=24 June 2013 |year=2013}}</ref>

In December 2009, the media reported that Massive Attack met Tricky in Paris and asked him to work on a future project—Daddy G said: "Things seem like they've healed between us and Tricky. It's been quite well documented how us and Tricky get on, hasn't it? It's not that well, but things have changed. Things have softened up. We saw Tricky a couple of weeks ago in Paris and it was quite an amicable meeting after five or six years."<ref>{{cite news |title=Massive Attack and Tricky make up |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/8402022.stm |access-date=24 June 2013 |work=BBC News |date=8 December 2009 |first=Georgie |last=Rogers}}</ref> Tricky agreed to record with the band and he revealed in a June 2013 interview that "there's a couple of songs which are OK, which are really good actually to be honest with you". However, Tricky also stated in June 2013 that he could not spend more than two or three days with Massive Attack and described band member Daddy&nbsp;G as "very arrogant".<ref name="Tom">{{cite web |title=Tricky on Massive Attack, Bjork, Obama and false idols |url=http://www.fasterlouder.com.au/features/35933/Tricky-on-Massive-Attack-Bjork-Obama-and-false-idols |website=FasterLouder.com.au |access-date=24 June 2013 |first=Tom|last= Mann |date=12 June 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130615232934/http://www.fasterlouder.com.au/features/35933/Tricky-on-Massive-Attack-Bjork-Obama-and-false-idols |archive-date=15 June 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Tricky's ninth album ''[[Mixed Race (album)|Mixed Race]]'' was released on 27 September 2010 and the first single from the album became available on 23 August.

In June 2011, Tricky's then label Brownpunk signed on Mexican band My Black Heart Machine for one single, "It Beats Like This", which Tricky co-produced.<ref>{{cite news |last=Caballero |first=Jorge |title=My Black Heart Machine lanzará en septiembre su primer EP: Little Tragedies |url=http://www.jornada.unam.mx/2012/08/13/espectaculos/a19n1esp |access-date=21 October 2013 |newspaper=La Jornada |date=13 August 2012}}</ref> My Black Heart Machine was then commissioned by the label to cover a song from Maxinquaye for an album of covers by Brownpunk's roster; the band chose "Hell Is Round the Corner". "It Beats Like This" was released independently by the band on their first EP in April 2013.

Tricky produced rapper Omni's album ''IamOmni (produced by Tricky)'' (released under the moniker ''IamOmni'') that was available from 30 August 2011 as a free download on Omni's official site.
