Later that year, on October 21, they unveiled another EP titled Cocaine 80s: Ghost Lady. In December 2011, Chicago-based rapper Common released his ninth studio album, The Dreamer/The Believer, which was fully produced by No I.D. and featured vocal contributions from Makeba Riddick and James Fauntleroy. By October 2012, Jhené Aiko announced her collaboration with No I.D. and Cocaine 80s on a new project; she also appeared on her Def Jam debut album, Souled Out, stating: "Me and the Cocaine 80s is made up of musicians, singers and producers... We are definitely working on a mixtape or album together." In June 2014, Aiko’s track "To Love & Die" credited Cocaine 80s as featured artists.
