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. [[File:1993 Superton Catalog Sabor.jpeg|thumb|A [[SuperTon]] ad in the December 1993 release of [[Sabor]] advertising [[Rat i mir]] and [[Kockar bez sreće]] and wishing readers a happy new year.]]Baja released one album in 1994, [[Pobediće istina|''Pobediće istina'']], and it would later receive a CD release on behalf of [[Estrada shop]] along with other songs from Baja's previous albums. This technically made the CD part compilation and part album release, and was therefore given the name ''[[Najveći hitovi - Pobediće istina]]''. A second Baja VHS, [[Rat i Mir (VHS)|''Rat i mir'']], released, and it would feature music videos for select tracks on the ''[[Rat i mir|Rat i Mir]]'' cassette release, as well as tracks from ''[[Kockar bez sreće]]''. The poems featured in the VHS were to be compiled in his one and only book, ''Nedefinisan čovek'', however, it never came to fruition. | 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'']].

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]] was released in late 1995, critical of the war and the political climate at the time. | In early 1995, Baja would release three more albums: [[Igraju se delije|''Igraju se delije'']], [[Idemo dalje|''Idemo dalje'']], and ''[[Zbogom oružje]]''.

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 2000, Baja released [[Povratak u budućnost|''Povratak u budućnost'']], which featured another popular track, "[[Samo je moj stari znao]]".

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''. Renome would later release the compilation, ''Hitovi'', although it only contained Baja songs that were released by Renome themselves. | In 2001, he released [[Đe si legendo|''Đe si legendo'']] which showed a change in musical direction for Baja.

In 2002, he released [[Zbogom pameti|''Zbogom pameti'']], an album that reimagined some songs from ''Kockar bez sreće'', along with the songs "[[Ko je ljubio, taj ne ljubi više]]" and "[[Prošli su mi vozovi]]". It also contains a reimagined version of the Braća sa Dinare song, "[[Loš učenik]]" albeit renamed to "Šta je tebi, dođi sebi". ''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. Around this time, Baja would start singing vulgar songs in his live performances, typically about women and drinking.[[File:Modern Baja Mali Knindza concert.png|thumb|400x400px|2022 Baja Mali Knindža concert]] | In 2002, he released [[Zbogom pameti|''Zbogom pameti'']], an album that reimagined some songs from ''Kockar bez sreće'', along with the songs "[[Ko je ljubio, taj ne ljubi više]]" and "[[Prošli su mi vozovi]]".
