After collaborating with Jay-Z on the singles "Hey Papi" and "Change the Game", Bleek's second album, The Understanding, was released on December 5, 2000.

Both Coming of Age and The Understanding were certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[5]
Bleek released his third album, M.A.D.E., on December 16, 2003,[6] which featured the singles "Round Here" and "Need Me In Your Life"; the former peaked at number 53 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.[3] His fourth album, 534, peaked at number 11 on the Billboard 200, number three on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and number one on the US Top Rap Albums chart following its release on May 17, 2005. 534 contained the singles "Like That" featuring Swizz Beatz, which peaked at number 47 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and number 22 on the Hot Rap Songs chart,[3][4] and "Dear Summer".
