A milestone in hip-hop’s history that arrived outta nowhere in 1986 and made a household name outta the gravelly voiced West Coast rapper. Containing the landmark singles ‘Wild Thing’ (one of the top 10 best selling US singles of all time) and ‘Funky Cold Medina’, it catapulted Anthony Smith to the top of the pop charts with a song written by fellow Delicious Vinyl star Young MC, and based on a sample from a Van Halen song. The 20th Anniversary Deluxe Digital Edition of ‘Loc’ed After Dark’ also contains six bonus tracks: ‘On Fire’ (OG 12-inch version), ‘Cheeba Cheeba’ (OG 12-inch version), ‘I Got It Goin’ On’ (Remix), ‘The Homies (On Tilt Mix)’, ‘Wild Beat’ and ‘Funky Beats’. Oh and in case you go looking for it, it’s only available digitally to download.
