By the late 90s, word about Loon's talents began to circulate, which resulted in a contract with two separate labels. This, frustratingly, went nowhere and produced no album. It appeared as though his big break was finally going to come in the form of his enlistment into Ma$e's Harlem World gang (titled after Ma$e's chart-topping 1997 album). Soon after the crew's debut album, The Movement, surfaced in 1999, Ma$e decided to drop out of the rap scene completely, as he had joined the ministry, resulting in the album achieving modest sales, but not close to the massive blockbuster it was expected to be. Ma$e's friend, Sean "Puffy" Combs stepped in however, and signed Loon to his own solo contract with Bad Boy Records. The rapper came to prominence with a guest vocal on Combs' massive 2002 hit, "I Need A Girl". Loon's self-titled debut album appeared the following October and immediately scaled the US Billboard charts. Later on though, Loon left Bad Boy, signing with indie-label Cleopatra Records, releasing the sophomore No Friends.

These MP3s are located under the server Angelfire. So in order to download MP3s that are under this server, you must left click once on the name of the MP3 that you want to download, which will take you onto a different page (because it is on a different server, and Geocities do not allow direct links to files located on other servers) and then either left click (if you want to download the MP3 but do not want to save it) or right click, then "Save Target As..." (if you want to the save the MP3) on the name of the MP3 that you want to listen to. Easy as...
