They collaborated with George Clinton. |Their reunion album Resurrection (1999), released via Queen Latifah’s Jersey Kidz imprint, was so small-scale a release that few realized it had been recorded. Da Brat made an appearance on it. Discography * Here Come the Lords (1993)| * Keepers of the Funk (1994)| * Resurrection (1999)| * House of Lords (2007)| |
