Press Release: Here Comes the Lords
From Todd Davis: Press Release: Here Comes the Lords May 2011 -- Having first arrived on the scene way back in 1992 with their lead single, "Psycho," b/w "Check It," Lords of the Underground, comprised of members Doitall, Mr. Funke and DJ Lord Jazz, are currently celebrating their highly commendable 20th! year in entertainment. To commemorate the triumphant anniversary, the trio from Newark, New Jersey, are in the midst of recording their fifth studio collection, and have even re-enlisted the legendary producer, DJ Marley Marl, responsible for some of their biggest hits-to-date, to assist on the still untitled project.
As a collective, L.O.T.U.G. initially came together in Raleigh, North Carolina, whilst attending Shaw University as undergraduate students. Their, now, multi-platinum, debut album, Here Come the Lords, which spawned three chart-toppers; the title track, "Funky Child" and their signature classic, "Chief Rocka," arrived in March '93.
A second LP Keepers of the Funk, although not quite as successful as its predecessor, appeared a little over a year and a half later, and still managed to land three songs; "Tic Toc," "What I'm After" and "Faith," positions on Billboard Magazine's Top Rap Singles Chart.
Despite lack of promotions, their next outing, Resurrection, was still met with critical acclaim. "Retaliate," "Take Dat," "Haters," "Excuse Me" and "Exodus," were the five offerings from the mostly positively reviewed set. House of Lords, their first recording in nearly a decade, was released in the summer of 2007.
"It's time, man!" Doitall announces emphatically. Expounding, he further relays, "We've toured the world, we've done our separate ventures, and, now, we go back to what brought us to the dance. This time, it's for not just us, but the fans as well."
