With the beginning of the breakup of Yugoslavia Baja's songs turned patriotic. He managed to gather just enough money to record his first album, just to lose it on the way to the people who recorded the songs. Now in debt and in search of a record label to take him, he eventually found [[Jugodisk]] after being rejected by [[PGP RTS]]. Finally published in early 1992, "[[Ne dam Krajine]]" would become a huge hit and catapult Baja to fame. | With the beginning of the breakup of Yugoslavia Baja's songs turned patriotic.

His second album, "[[Stan'te paše i Ustaše]]" in mid-1992 featured songs such as "Božić je", "Morem plovi jedna mala barka" or "Pevaj Srbijo", which would turn into his most popular and most recognizable songs. Despite this success, Baja was seemingly absent from media, except for select radio apperances on stations like Radio Beograd 202 or TV Politika, he claims he was practically banned from it.
