All Samples Cleared! is the fourth studio album by Biz Markie. It was released on June 2, 1993; produced by Biz and his cousin Cool V; and was his 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. The title was a reference to the court battle over an illegal sample Biz used on his 1991 song "Alone Again." This would also mark Biz's last studio album until 2003's Weekend Warrior.
