In early 1995, Baja would release three more albums: [[Igraju se delije\|''Igraju se delije'']], [[Idemo dalje\|''Idemo dalje'']], and ''[[Zbogom oružje]]''. ''Igraju se delije'' would be the last time Goran would accompany Baja on his own albums and would also be the first collaboration with Željko Jovanović. ''Idemo dalje'' was released in August that year, shortly before Krajina fell. Shortly after the war's end, [[Zbogom oružje\|''Zbogom oružje'']] was released in late 1995, critical of the war and the political climate at the time.

	In 1999, Baja went to Renome and released his last war-related album, [[Biti 'il ne biti\|''Biti 'il ne biti'']]. Its contents focused on the [[Music during the Kosovo War\|Kosovo War]] and subsequent NATO bombing campaign of Yugoslavia, which were ongoing at the time. Accompanied by [[Dragan Stojković Bosanac]], he also would release [[Gara iz Lončara / Život je tamo]] with the songs "[[Evo džepa, đe su pare bile]]" and "[[Duni vjetre malo preko jetre]]" being one of his most popular songs. Like ''[[Kockar bez sreće]]'', the album would feature no patriotic songs.		In 1999, Baja went to Renome and released his last war-related album, [[Biti 'il ne biti\|''Biti 'il ne biti'']].

	In 2000, Baja released [[Povratak u budućnost\|''Povratak u budućnost'']], which featured another popular track, "[[Samo je moj stari znao]]". Baja would also return to Nina Trejd one last time and release [[Zaljubljen i mlad]] which featured reimagined versions of songs from ''Kockar bez sreć''e as well as some new material. Around this time, Renome's sublabel, [[Patriot]] would release the compilation ''[[Moje najljepše, one naše ?! Vaš Baja Mali]],'' but it's unknown if Baja had any involvement in its release.

	In 2001, he released [[Đe si legendo]] which showed a change in musical direction for Baja. Rather than be solely folk, its songs would mix elements of rock and roll and pop, and no samples from the [[wikipedia:Roland_Sound_Canvas\|Roland Sound Canvas]], which he used heavily in some of his most well known works. It would also feature a rock version of the song "[[Kuća časti]]" from a previous album Baja, ''Igraju se delije''.

	While Baja's debut album was released in 1992, his start in the music industry would be in 1985 where he was primarily a lyricist at Jugodisk under the name "M. Pajčin Baja". His first songwriting credit would be on the [[Borislav Ličanin]] song "Oko mene lepe žene" from the album of the same name. He would also write the song "Jasna je meni donijela sreću" for the 1986 album ''A oj Liko zavičajna sliko'' and "[[Kad se slože ravnice i brda]]" for the 1987 album of the same name. The 1990 album, ''Sve što imam, to mi je u lici'' would be the first album to feature the song "Nemoj me lagati, mila", predating its appearance in ''[[Kockar bez sreće]]'' by three years. In 1989, Baja would contribute to one of Tromeđe's biggest hits, "Nema raja" as he was the primary lyricist for Tromeđa's ''[[Pjesme Dalmacije, Like i Krajine]]''. The song has since been covered by artists such as [[Bora Drljača]], [[Minđušari]], and [[Žare i Goci]]. He would contribute to the title track of the 1991 Milivoje Đurišić album ''Crnogorsko Srce'' before releasing his debut album.

	Around late August/early September 1993, Baja would release his album and appear in many interviews regarding [[Još se ništa ne zna\|''Još se ništa ne zna'']]. Upon release, it became one of Baja's most popular albums and would be the start of his work with [[SuperTon]]. Baja would also release a VHS tape called ''[[Najveći hitovi (VHS)\|Najveći hitovi]]'', which featured music videos for his more popular song. At the end of 1993, he would release two more albums, [[Rat i mir\|''Rat i mir'']] and [[Kockar bez sreće\|''Kockar bez sreće'']] with the former containing patriotic songs and the latter containing love songs that were inspired by older, non-war material similar to his work in the mid 80's.

	In early 1995, Baja would release three more albums: [[Igraju se delije\|''Igraju se delije'']], [[Idemo dalje\|''Idemo dalje'']], and ''[[Zbogom oružje]]''. ''Igraju se delije'' would be the last time Goran would accompany Baja on his own albums and would also be the first collaboration with Željko Jovanović. ''Idemo dalje'' was released in August that year, shortly before Krajina fell.

	In 1999, Baja went to Renome and released his last war-related album, [[Biti 'il ne biti\|''Biti 'il ne biti'']]. Its contents focused on the [[Music during the Kosovo War\|Kosovo War]] and subsequent NATO bombing campaign of Yugoslavia, which were ongoing at the time. Accompanied by [[Dragan Stojković Bosanac]], he also would release [[Gara iz Lončara / Život je tamo]] with the songs "[[Evo džepa, đe su pare bile]]" and "[[Duni vjetre malo preko jetre]]" being one of his most popular songs. Like ''[[Kockar bez sreće]]'', the album would feature no patriotic songs.		In 1999, Baja went to Renome and released his last war-related album, [[Biti 'il ne biti\|''Biti 'il ne biti'']].

	In 2001, he released [[Đe si legendo]] which showed a change in musical direction for Baja. Rather than be solely folk, its songs would mix elements of rock and roll and pop, and no samples from the [[wikipedia:Roland_Sound_Canvas\|Roland Sound Canvas]], which he used heavily in some of his most well known works. It would also feature a rock version of the song "[[Kuća časti]]" from a previous album Baja, ''Igraju se delije''.

''Zbogom Pameti'' also includes the duet, "[[Šta ti bi]]", which was released a year prior on Nada Obrić's ''Tako je život hteo''. Following the release of ''Zbogom Pameti'', Baja would move primarily to live performances and he'd be more involved with the industry for the next four years.
