MCs Mr. Funke and DoItAll Dupré met DJ Lord Jazz (a native of Cleveland) when all three were undergraduates at Shaw University[citation needed]. Fellow New Jersey rapper Redman served as one of the group's early DJ's.
The group released their debut album, Here Come the Lords on March 9, 1993 with production handled by Marley Marl and K-Def. The album peaked at 66 on the Billboard 200 and featured five charting singles, including the group's signature song, "Chief Rocka".
The group released their second album, Keepers of the Funk the following year on November 1, 1994. Keepers of the Funk peaked at 47 on the Billboard 200 and featured three charting singles, the most successful of which was "Tic Toc". As stated in a 2013 interview, the group had never disbanded.
They reunited for a third album with 1999's Resurrection. Released via Queen Latifah's Jersey Kidz imprint, was so small-scale a release that few realized it had been recorded. The Lords returned again in 2007 for a fourth album entitled House of Lords, but like Resurrection, it failed to reach the Billboard charts.
The Lords are best remembered in connection with the golden age of hip hop. As such, when Nas decided in 2007 to do a remix of his song "Where Are They Now?", which asked of the fates of several long-forgotten golden age rappers, the Lords were among those requested to appear. DoItAll Dupré performed eight bars on the track.
DoItAll appeared briefly in the final scene of the final episode of The Sopranos credited as Du Kelly, as one of a series of potentially ominous figures entering the diner. He also appeared on other TV shows; Law & Order as Two Tone, on Oz the HBO series, and on the Christmas episode of 30 Rock on NBC (2008). He has also been in independent movies such as Somewhere in the City with Bai Ling, Rhyme & Reason, and with Treach of Naughty By Nature. He has also starred in an off Broadway play entitled Diss, Diss, & Diss, Dat.
In 2017, DoItAll revealed he planned on running for Councilman at Large for his hometown of Newark.[1] He started his campaign in 2018, and despite not winning a seat still plans to help the city.[2]

1993, best year musically. This was my jam. My cousin used to play this tape all the time. This became an instant favorite. They used to get busy.
Kevin Montgomery
you might be right LaChele. I used to work out to this song every day. Hit me on the gram at Realkmg
Camacake GD
Damn right. It gave us this, 93 til Infinity, Enta Da Stage, and Nocturnal and that's just the tip of the list
Stadium Reviews
This is a great song! I don't think it was released as a single.
Tony Dancefit
This is STILL my favorite song on this album.
jugoslawe1
Sah-B at the end kills it the beat is heavenly and the lords and Kid Deleon shows what skill and flow is about CLassic
Alex Perez
I always assumed she was da brat, thank you!
Antoinette Sams
These kids today will NEVER understand the 90's hip hop vibe. It was a lifestyle, a frame of mind. And when ILLMATIC dropped in '94 it changed the game. I'm so so so GRATEFUL I was around to experience it. Not to mention how BAD BOY took hip hop from Carhartt and Tim's to Versace.
Velaar TV
one of my favorite rap songs ever
Kevin Baty
I was in high school, heard chief Rocka and decided to cop the album. Heard this song and was instantly in love. On of my favorite songs ever...
