Fully Strapped is the debut album by rap group L.S.D., which stands for Lyrical Sound Dealers. The group consists of gang members from San Bernardino and Riverside, California, released on the popular Chicano Rap label Familia Records. The album is notable for its extensive use of sampling and mixing of old school funk and Hip Hop songs. Throughout the 11 songs on Fully Strapped, rappers The Joker, A-Bomb, and Channel Brown can be heard on almost every song; there are minor appearances by other members of the group such as DJ X-Raided and Mocha.

One member in particular, Joker, is noted for appearing on the documentary Ross Kemp on Gangs episode "Los Angeles, California" discussing gang feuds between African-American gangs and Mexican-American gangs. This would be his first public appearance on prime-time television. The other members of the group were not mentioned. This release would be the only album under the group name Lyrical Sound Dealers; the next release was used under the moniker "Brown Pride" for the album "Suicide: Homicide" in 1998, and then changed the name once more to N'land Clique, releasing "I.E. Riders" (an homage to the Inland Empire area of Southern California that cover both Riverside and San Bernardino) in 2001.

In 2006, after serving a 5-year prison term, Joker caused some controversy when he dissed Lil' Rob, Knightowl, ODM and DTTX from A Lighter Shade of Brown and many other Chicano rappers on his solo release for the label Cali's Finest Productions
