Far from a one-hit wonder, however, Afroman's discography is deep, spanning from tapes and CDs he self-released in the late '90s through to highlights like 2008's Frobama and 2016's Crazy Rap.

His first album, Analog Heart, came out pre-Idol, and his last album, Digital Vein, nicely book-ended that chapter of Cook's career, a chapter during which he sold more than 2 million albums (including his platinum-certified eponymous album) and, collectively, more than 5 million tracks (including two platinum-certified singles) worldwide.
