Tone-Lōc - Lōc-ed After Dark album flac

Lōc-ed After Dark is the debut studio album by American rapper Tone Lōc. It was released by Delicious Vinyl on January 23, 1989. It reached number 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. It was certified Double Platinum by the RIAA. It featured three singles: "Wild Thing", "Funky Cold Medina", and "I Got It Goin' On". The album cover is based on Donald Byrd's 1963 album, A New Perspective.

A forgotten man in the rise of West Coast rap, Tone-Loc was effectively cut off from his hometown scene in Los Angeles by his unexpected pop success. Paced by the singles "Wild Thing" and "Funky Cold Medina" - both co-written by a pre-fame Young MC - and some of the earliest productions by the legendary Dust Brothers, Loc's debut album, Loc-ed After Dark, became the second rap album to top the pop charts, following the Beastie Boys' Licensed to Ill.

Lōc'ed After Dark Lyrics. Allow me to display if I may I'm ready to start (So am I) Well, OK I've been held back for several years I had a few squabbles, never shedded no tears But like an uzi on the mic they call me Tone Capone Slayin' down with your posse if you're standin' alone Cultivatin' all cities and tearin'. Doin' it after dark Doin' it at the park Oh yeah, Loc gets hard Oh yeah, that funk gets hard. Freaks never cease, just to say the least I'll start mobbin' motherfuckers like a savage beast I'm takin' my turn to make the mic burn And when I'm teachin' class, there's a lesson to be learned Now I battle posses and tribes alike Never battle out of hate; I always battle for spite Cold jealous of me

When Tone Lōc released Lōc-ed After Dark, on 23 January 1989, people were wondering, Where did that come from? Now the question would be, Where did that go? Because for a little while there, Tone Lōc was simply massive. Lōc-ed After Dark went double-platinum; two singles from it were ubiquitous. It hit N. on the Billboard album charts – in an era when such a position was almost unheard of for a hip-hop artist. While it was a short-lived superfame, Tone Lōc could rightly say, in his gravel-gargle of a voice, that ’89 was his year.
