The group packed their bags and headed off to Manila to start promoting and touring. Even nominated for 2004 MTV Asia awards for Favorite Group which was held in Indonesia. Itsumo became a household name as it stayed in the radio charts for weeks and weeks.

They bagged awards for 2003 Song of The Year in Davao and Cebu, Best Rap Group in the 1st and 2nd Annual Hip-hop Awards in 2005 and 2006 and counting.
