1980s rap pioneer Tone-Loc 1980s rap pioneer Tone Loc was the second rap act ever to reach #1 on Billboard's album charts, only behind The Beastie Boys. His album, Loc'd After Dark, spawned the hit singles "Wild Thing" and "Funky Cold Medina"; and they still remain anthems of pop-culture today. After recording his 1991 follow-up album, Cool Hand Loc, the singer put his familiar raspy voice to work on TV and in film, landing roles on the TV series Roc and in films including Jim Carrey's Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994) and the animated sci-fi epic Titan A.E. (2000). Tone is one of the busiest men in Hollywood with his voice know in national commercial advertising and animated movies and his relentless tour schedule still bringing the “Wild Thing” to audiences all over the world.
