 In 1992 he is released from prison and met by Sweet, [[Big Smoke]] and [[Carl Johnson]], who mock his appearance and his previous idea of attending college. Loc, however, decides to prove to himself to them and get revenge against Freddy. The four drive to Freddy's home in [[East Los Santos]], with Carl deciding to stay with Loc. Freddy leaves his home and gets on to a motorcycle, fleeing from the angry Loc while also taunting him, saying that he no longer needed him for sex. Loc and Carl [[OG Loc (mission)|chase him down and kill him]], before Carl drives Loc to his new job at the [[Marina]] branch of the fast food restaurant chain [[Burger Shot]], given to him upon his release from prison.

 Loc continued to perform on the underground circuit and, after the [[The Green Sabre|downfall of the Grove Street Families]], former member [[Big Smoke]] became rich quickly through his involvement in the drugs trade and used his money to get Loc a contract with [[Blastin' Fools Records]]. Loc, despite his squeaky voice released his first and only album, [[Str8 From Tha Streetz]], using Madd Dogg's rhyme book. Shortly afterwards a clothing line, Loc-Down (referring to his time in prison) is brought out and is sold by the [[Victim]] clothing company.
-Loc is also interviewed by [[Lazlow Jones|Lazlow]] on his [[Entertaining America]] show on [[West Coast Talk Radio]], where he criticises Lazlow for mis-pronuncing his name. Loc is also openly supported by Big Smoke, who states that Loc is a real gangster while also saying that he is a philanthropist trying to stop the use of drugs in the city, so that "either way, you can feel good about yourself listening to this music!". Loc's public relations team also attempted to cover up his poor rapping voice by stating that he used  "a whole new style of hip hop, fusing dancehall reggae, nursery rhymes and straight gangsta into a str8 bundle of energy and hatred".

-Loc's successful rap career came to an end when Madd Dogg, after [[Madd Dogg (mission)|almost commmiting suicide]], recovers from depression with the help of Carl Johnson, not knowing of his involvement in the events leading to his depression. Carl later helps Madd Dogg to locate Loc, with the two chasing him using [[Vortex|hovercrafts]] around western Los Santos. They [[Cut Throat Business|eventually chase him]] into the [[Blastin' Fools Records]] building, where they meet Loc's manager [[Jimmy Silverman]] who, after learning that Loc was in possession of Madd Dogg's rhyme book, threatened to sue him.

 Loc is later dropped from the label and loses the support from Big Smoke, following his [[End of the Line|death]] in his [[Big Smoke's Crack Palace|hideout]] in East Los Santos at the hands of Carl Johnson. Loc, whose album was poorly received, 'disappeared without a trace' according to [[Big Smilky]], who also states that many view him as the worst rapper in history. Loc then faded away and did not release another album.
