In September 1993, Baja would appear in interviews and [[Baja Mali Knindža concerts|start touring]] for his upcoming album, [[Još se ništa ne zna|''Još se ništa ne zna'']]. Upon release, ''Još se ništa ne zna'' became one of Baja's most popular albums and would be the start of his work with [[SuperTon]]. Shortly after the release of the album, Baja's first VHS, which featured music videos to his more popular songs, [[Najveći hitovi (Baja Mali Knindža VHS)|''Najveći hitovi'']] would be released. At the end of the year, he would release two albums, "[[Rat i mir]]" and "[[Kockar bez sreće]]" with the former containing patriotic songs and the latter containing love songs, inspired by older, non-war material similar to his work in the mid 80's.

He would also form [[Braća sa Dinare]] (<small>lit.</small> "Brothers from Dinara") with his brother, [[Novak Pajčin]] and a friend, [[Lujan Mihaljica|Luka Mihaljica]]. Shortly after the release of their self-titled debut album, the second Baja VHS would release, called [[Rat i Mir (VHS)|''Rat i mir'']]. In late 1994, Baja released his one and only album, [[Pobediće istina|''Pobediće istina'']].  


In September 1993, Baja would appear in interviews and [[Baja Mali Knindža concerts|start touring]] for his upcoming album, [[Još se ništa ne zna|''Još se ništa ne zna'']]. Upon release, ''Još se ništa ne zna'' became one of Baja's most popular albums and would be the start of his work with [[SuperTon]]. Shortly after the release of the album, Baja's first VHS, which featured music videos to his more popular songs, [[Najveći hitovi (Baja Mali Knindža VHS)|''Najveći hitovi'']] would be released.
In early 1995, he would release [[Igraju se delije|''Igraju se delije'']] and Braća sa Dinare's second album [[Bila jednom jedna zemlja|''Bila jednom jedna zemlja'']]. He would help Gordan once more in [[Nema laži, nema prevare]]" and guest starred in the Milka Todotović album, [[Desilo se čudo / Idemo do kraja|''Desilo se čudo / Idemo do kraja'']]. In August 1995 before Krajina fell, Baja released the album "[[Idemo dalje]]".
 
Baja also wrote many songs for other singers of this genre. "[[Koridor slobode (Album)|Koridor slobode]]" by [[Gordan Krajišnik]] and "[[Ne daj se Srbijo moja (Album)|Ne daj se Srbijo moja]]", among others, credit Baja for lyrics and music.
 
With 1993 coming to an end, he would release two albums, "[[Rat i mir]]" and "[[Kockar bez sreće]]".
 
[[Rat i mir]] arguably contains Baja's most popular and controversial song, "[[Tata]]", featuring the opening line "My dad is a war criminal". It became quite popular among western audiences, decades after the war. [[Kockar bez sreće]] would, however, be a change from Baja's usual patriotic songs, as it was inspired by older, non-war material and became an album with love songs, similar in style to his mid 80s work. Kockar bez sreće is one of Baja's rarest albums today.
 
At the beginning of 1994, Baja would aid in writing the lyrics and music for [[Gordan Krajišnik|Gordan Krajišnik's]] second album, "[[Život damo Krajine ne damo (Album)|Život damo Krajine ne damo]]" and [[Rade Tešić|Rade Tešić's]] "[[Samotnjak (Album)|Samotnjak]]". He would also form "[[Braća sa Dinare]]" (Brothers from Dinara) with his brother [[Novak Pajčin]] and a friend, [[Lujan Mihaljica|Luka Mihaljica]].

After their first self-titled album "[[Braća sa Dinare (Album)|Braća sa Dinare]]" in 1994, the second Baja VHS would release, called "[[Rat i Mir (VHS)|Rat i mir]]". It would feature Baja songs from the last two albums, as well as "[[Loš učenik]]" from the [[Braća sa Dinare (Album)|Braća sa Dinare]] album.
 
In late 1994 Baja released the album "[[Pobediće istina]]", containing the songs "[[Pravoslavac]]" and "[[Lepo nam je reko Sveti Sava]]".
 
Early 1995 saw the release of "[[Igraju se delije]]" and Braća sa Dinare's second album "[[Bila jednom jedna zemlja]]" in January, together with more writing contributions. "[[Nema laži, nema prevare]]" and "[[Desilo se čudo / Idemo do kraja]]" both have contributions by Baja.
 
Shortly before the fall of Krajina in August 1995, Baja released the album "[[Idemo dalje]]", featuring the well-known songs "[[Oj, Alija nisi više glavni]]" and "[[Ponosan što sam Srbin]]".


After the release of [[Idemo dalje]], Baja would work with his friend [[Đole]] on one of the rarest and mysterious releases of the war, "[[Seobe]]". With heavy emphasis on the fall of Krajina, [[Seobe]] had mostly sad lyrics, with the exception of a few songs. It also seems to lack the production quality of other albums, reusing instrumentals of previous songs and poorly mixed vocals. Baja and Đole also sing off key from each other on numerous occasions.
