Big Ass released their first album Not Bad in 1997 with music label Music Bugs. Their second and third album, XL and My World followed in 2000 and 2003.

The album was recognized by both major music awards in Thailand: Season Awards, and Fat Awards (See Awards section below). Popularity-wise, they were also voted the most popular artist by fellow artists in Fat Awards No. 3 and nominated for the most popular group in 4th Channel Thailand Music Video Awards.
