Tragedy struck the crew when Big Pun died of a heart attack in 2000. His longtime partners Cuban Link and Triple Seis left the group after his death. Following this Fat Joe signed both Remy Martin and Tony Sunshine to the squad. They released their second album, True Story, in 2004. It included the summer club hit "Lean Back," produced by Dr. Dre associate (and former Roots keyboardist) Scott Storch. "Lean Back" peaked at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #24 in the UK.But the album sales were a disappoinment as "True Story" failed to go gold
