[edit] Music career
As perhaps the least heralded member of The Lox, Sheek Louch has nonetheless carved out a nice name for himself as a rap heavyweight, with his propensity to go after anyone in his way, or those brazen enough to take shots at his crew. Since the Lox's 1998 release Money, Power & Respect, and 2000’s We Are The Streets, his solo career has seen him develop into a saavy business man as well. First, he bought a recording studio in his hometown city of Yonkers, NY, and then founded the record label D-Block with lifelong friends and fellow Lox members Jadakiss and Styles P.[1] It was leaked onto the internet March 12th 2008.
His current release is Good Love, which samples Betty Wright's "Tonight Is The Night".
[edit] Feuds
When Jadakiss feuded with Beanie Sigel, the battle also brought along Sheek Louch and Styles P. Shortly before Beans went to jail, however, Sigel and Kiss made up definitively, performing together at a show; after his release from jail, the two did a remix on a Sheek Louch song and appeared on a track on a Funkmaster Flex compilation.
When The Lox left Bad Boy Records, the group and each of its members' publishing was still owned by label head Sean Combs. The group fought with him over royalties, debt issues and other things until 2005 when they briefly put their differences aside to perform with Jay-Z at his I Declare War Concert. Combs still owned The Lox's publishing because they only completed one album on their contract. Afterward they went on New York radio station Hot 97 bashing Diddy about taking all their money.
Sheek Louch has played a supporting role in D-Block's battle with 50 Cent. Originally, after a guest appearance in Ja Rule's single "New York", Jadakiss was insulted on 50 Cent's track "Piggybank" on the 2005 album The Massacre. Sheek has in turn insulted 50 Cent and other members of G-Unit on tracks on various mixtapes, including ones by Big Mike and DJ Clue, as well as a freestyle on Rap City.
