All Samples Cleared! is the fourth studio album by Biz Markie (the title was a reference to the court battle over an illegal sample he used on his 1991 song "Alone Again"). Produced by Biz Markie and his cousin Cool V, it was released on June 2, 1993 and was Biz Markie's final studio album released by Cold Chillin'/Warner Bros. Records. The album was not much of a success, only peaking at #43 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, though the single "Let Me Turn You On" made it to #7 on the Hot Rap Singles. This would also mark Biz Markie's last studio album until 2003's Weekend Warrior.
