Seeing as how Hip Hop groups, and cliques in general have seemed to deminish
over the years in Hip Hop. I figured I'd give some shine to a collective that's at least still active, after 11+ years in
the game. Otherwise known as D Block. Jadakiss, Styles P, Sheek Louch and J-Hood, have built quite a resume in Hip Hop as
one of NY's staple groups. Although they didn't get their just due by industry standards, but the streets feel them. I just
thought I'd give them the recognition (as a fan of their music), and respect they deserve as artist. So here it is. The D
Block Movement site, among other things.
Short Bio: The L.O.X. is a group of 3 emcees originating from Yonkers, New York discovered by Mary J. Blige. The name The L.O.X. originated from "The Warlocks", however, it was shortened
to The LOX. The LOX is now an ackronym for "Living Off Experience" and is composed of Jadakiss, Sheek Louch , and Styles P, and the newer recruit J-Hood. In 2005 they bolstered their roster to D-Block by adding emcees Team Arliss (Comprised of Trav and Straws aka St. Raw), and
T. Waters, the unofficial childhood member, signed to So So Def. Bad Boy Records released their first album Money, Power, and Respect and released "Money,
Power, and Respect" as their lead single. During this time, their tribute to the late Notorious B.I.G., "We'll Always Love Big Poppa" became a single that put the group on the map.
