Tribal Seeds’ debut, self-titled album "Tribal Seeds" was released in 2008 with their second album "The Harvest" following, June 2009. iTunes named both albums "Best Of" in the Reggae genre, for their respected years. Their debut album helped garner them the "Best World Music" title at the San Diego Music Awards in 2008,[3] and "The Harvest," which contained fourteen original songs, debuted at the number 5 spot on the Billboard Reggae Charts.

In 2011 Tribal Seeds gave listeners a brand new EP entitled "Soundwaves" which peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Reggae Charts.
