Source-derived summary

House of Lords is the fourth album by Lords of the Underground, its first album in eight years. The album was released August 21, 2007, on Affluent Records and was produced by Marley Marl, K-Def, and DJ Lord Jazz. Like the group's previous album Resurrection the album received very little promotion, was a commercial failure, and it did not make it to the Billboard charts, nor did it produce any hit singles.
