The group has released their third studio album on 24th of May 2008. The group stated that the third album was gonna be "'different",[2] suggesting their could be featured artists on this album as they have only had 2 featured artist 1 on their first albums and 1 on their tempo single. The album name was expected to be called "Hepsi 3" or "Üç"(Three), to continue the pattern of the previous two albums, named "one" and "Hepsi 2", however as of May 03 2008 the album title has been comfirmed to be Şaka (10+1).

The albums name includes "(10+1)", because the 10 songs featured on the album are covers of famous songs Hepsi have re-produced for their unique style. Some of the featured songs are from very famous singers in Turkey such as Ajda Pekkan and Sezen Aksu, however there is only 1 brand new song in this album which is "4 Peynirli Pizza", written by Kenan Dogulu.
