Technically he didn't disappear he just embraced his incredible songwriter status and ended up writing hit songs for Bobby Brown, Troop, Janet Jackson, and Barry White, among a few more. So he's been behind the scenes, but still making great music 😊

A very cookin' reaction 👩🏾🍳! Games was the lead single from Chuckii Booker's 1992 album: Niice 'n Wiild. It was written by Chuckii Booker, Gerald Levert and CJ Anthony. It was produced by Chuckii Booker. CJ Anthony and Chuckii Booker are providing the background vocals. The song reached #1 on the R&B chart and #68 on the Hot 100. No info on the music video is available. The female voice in the song saying “Chuckii! Chuckii!” is Janet Jackson. Them high notes 🎶 had you open like a book 📖!! In 1996, Mark Morrison sampled the song: "Games", for his 1996 hit song: "Return Of The Mack". Many other artists have sampled this song including: Luniz, The Notorious B.I.G., Sentury, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, AZ and Rappin' 4-Tay. The song was covered by Jeffery Smith in 2015.

Later, he played keyboards and wrote songs with the short-lived Epic Records band: Tease, for three years. Chuckii Booker received his recording contract in an unlikely manner. He gave his demo tape to the manager of Gerald Albright to showcase his skills as a musician, but had forgotten about the songs on the other side of the tape that contained original songs with his vocals.
