The Flashback Fridays #1 (Special Edition for Shawty Lo) : D4L - Laffy Taffy (2005-2006)

By -

In full memory of the life of Shawty Lo, this week's Flashback Fridays series is dedicated to him.

A decade ago at this time, Lo and his group D4L made their impact on the nation by taking their debut single "Laffy Taffy" all the way to the #1 spot not just on the Billboard Hip-Hop charts, but the overall Hot 100 list.

No matter how you felt about this being a prime example of an Atlanta and South snap music wave emerging in the game at that time (just ask Ghostface), "Laffy Taffy" rose to the pinnacle thanks to K-Rab's "Candy Girl"-esque production and Fabo's charismatic tone on the hook and opening verse.

Without further adieu, here's "Laffy Taffy" in this Flashback Friday tribute day to Shawty Lo.



More Shawty Lo tributes to come on this week's Flashback Friday series.
