The Lords of the Underground (L.O.T.U.G.) are a hip-hop trio based out of Newark, New Jersey. MCs Mr. Funke and DoItAll Dupré met DJ Lord Jazz (a native of Cleveland) when all three were undergraduates at Shaw University.
The three are perhaps best remembered for the singles "Funky Child", "Chief Rocka" and "Tic Toc"; all of which were wildly eccentric manifestos. The music video for "Funky Child" features one of the group members parading around in a diaper.
Their chief producer was Marley Marl's protégé, K-Def. Pete Rock remixed their songs "Flow On" and "Check It" in 1994 .
In their initial releases, their first two albums Here Come The Lords (1993) and Keepers of the Funk (1994), earned them an award from Black Entertainment Television in 1993. - Source: Wikipedia
This track, What I'm After features a young Redman and is off the 1994 releases Album Keepers of the Funk.
The album was released in 1994 for Pendulum Records and was produced by Marley Marl, K-Def and DJ Lord Jazz.
Though Keepers of the Funk was not as successful as Here Come the Lords, the album did gain some success, making it to #57 on the Billboard 200 and #16 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
Three singles also made it to the charts, "Tic Toc", "What I'm After" and "Faith". - Source: Wikipedia.
