Rose left the group in 2017, citing his mental health as the reason for leaving. This resulted in the group leaving Columbia Records. Konstone and Blues moved to London to pursue their career as a duo, releasing the single 100 Miles in 2019. The duo were featured in a live social media broadcast of London Mayoral candidate Rory Stewart who was live streaming as he canvased for votes. They released the single Minor Gangsters (Gully) in 2019, inspired by their encounter with Stewart who had referred to them as "minor gangsters". They later spoke out about the conversation, stating that Stewart was being "opportunistic" in approaching them to take part in the video, and Diane Abbott stated that Stewart had been racist.
