The Lords of the Underground (L.O.T.U.G.) are a hip-hop trio based in 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 . They collaborated with George Clinton; their second album’s title track, which samples his work, features him in a cameo. The track is generally more abrasive and less conventionally tuneful in its instrumentation than most of their work.
Gangster posturing was rhetorically referenced, but never outright indulged in, by the group, except on their 1995 single “Burn Rubber”, which took a cavalier pro-carjacking attitude and featured a line where Mr. Funke unapologetically said he’d “even jeopardize friends” for the sake of a jacking. However, the song was recorded for and prominently featured in the Newark car-jacking film “New Jersey Drive,” and can be seen as a reflection of that film’s mentality, as well as the popularity of joyriding carjacks in that city in the 1990s, rather than an endorsement of violent crime.
