They first appeared on the music scene by posting their song "Aaaaaaaaa.!?" on the 057 radio station from Zadar{{cite web| url = http://www.menart.hr/index.php?performer_id=492| title = Postolar Tripper| accessdate = 2008-07-30| language = Croatian| publisher = Menart Records}} in 2002. The song "Tužna priča o selu" followed, confirming the band's hip-hop/ethno style (speaking in the rural dialect of Dalmatia's Ravni kotari better known as "Zaleđe"). This song was No. 1 in the charts of HTV's teen show Briljanteen for months in 2005.{{cite web|url= http://www.muzika.hr/default.aspx?id=3971|title= Stiže prvijenac zadarskih postolara|accessdate= 2008-08-01|date= 2005-03-08|language= Croatian|publisher= muzika|url-status= dead|archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20050310164553/http://www.muzika.hr/default.aspx?id=3971|archivedate= 2005-03-10}}

Their third single was "Balada o Viliju i Vesni", for which a video was made by video artist Mara Milin, after which their debut album was released.{{cite web| url = http://www.groupie.hr/index.php?stranica=sadrzaj&id=2903| title = Postolar Tripper se vraća| accessdate = 2008-07-31| date = 2008-07-09| language = Croatian| publisher = Groupie}}

Humour and eccentric usage of the rural elements in their music was also a characteristic of their fourth single, "Čuvaj se sinjske ruke", also used in the film of the same name, by Bore Lee.

A duet in the beginning, Postolar Tripper became a band of eight musicians. Their album Popravni was released in 2008, with single "Na rubu ponora" recorded in ska/reggae style.{{cite web| url = http://opcenito.com/novi-singl-postolar-trippera| title = Novi sigl Postolar Trippera| accessdate = 2008-08-01| date = 2008-07-09| language = Croatian| publisher = Opcebito| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080830023503/http://opcenito.com/novi-singl-postolar-trippera| archive-date = 2008-08-30| url-status = dead}}{{Cite web|url=http://www.discogs.com/Postolar-Tripper-Popravni/release/1791748|title = Postolar Tripper – Popravni (2008, CD)|website = Discogs}}
