The Lost Children of Babylon entered the hiphop-scene in 1996 with an appearance on Jedi Mind Tricks debut the Amber Probe EP. Where they appeared on the song "Communion: The Crop Circle Thesis". They also contributed with verses on four more songs on Jedi Mind Tricks Psycho-social LP: "Chinese Water Torture", "The Three Immortals", "As It Was In The Beginning" and "Books of Blood: The Coming Of Tan".

Their first album was released on Seventh Cathedral Recordings in 2001. They debuted with a conscious style, with lyrics filled with Nuwaubian teachings of Dr. Malachi Z. York and different theories of the creation and destination of the human soul. This album is similar to Jedi Mind Tricks "Psycho-social LP".

For their second album they changed their name to "The Lost Children of Egypt" on request of Dr. Malachi Z. York, because this album is more focused on Egyptian philosophy and mythology.

The third album of the LCOB consists of 19 tracks about the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center. This means, that they changed their style to be more political, rapping about world politics and what is going on in the world today instead of Egyptian mysticism. This is a controversial album, where they condemn the terrorists, but also George W. Bush and his administration for creating the circumstances of 9/11. The album goes through all conspiracies about 9/11 and informs about the facts of the event.
Their next LP "The Scroll of Lost Tales: The Appendices" will be released in 2007. Killah Priest, Hell Razah and other Wu-Tang affiliates have been announced to appear on the album. Several members have also announced solo debuts to be released in a near future. Richard Raw has already released his first album entitled "My City, A Place Where Somebody Can Be Nobody".
