After appearing on two Lox albums, 1998βs platinum debut Money, Power & Respect, and 2000βs follow-up We Are The Streets, Sheek became a business man. First, he bought a recording studio in his hometown city of Yonkers, NY, and then founded the record label D-Block with lifelong friends Jadakiss and Styles P.
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' publication 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 "Piggy Bank" 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.
Shame on you for ever underestimating Sheek. Shame on you for thinking that his membership in the LOX is all he had and all heβd ever be. After dropping two LOX albums, 1998βs platinum debut Money, Power & Respect, and 2000βs chart topping follow up We are the Streets, Sheek became a business man. First, he bought a recording studio in his hometown town of Yonkers, NY. Then, he founded the record label D-Block with lifelong friends Jadakiss and Styles P. Sheek has been quietly focused. While Jadakiss and Styles were busy making guest appearances with everyone from Mary J. Blige to Jennifer Lopez, Sheek was planning and securing the foundation for what will undoubtedly become one of hip hopβs greatest classics, βD Block.β As the first artist signed to D-Block, Sheekβs debut Walk Witt Me takes hip hop back to the good days when MCs rapped with the kind of passionate power that could move entire coasts. After listening to Walk Witt Me, youβll never sleep on Sheek again. In fact, youβll be excitedly waiting for the next 16 bar ride through his life. βThis album is all me,β says Sheek. βWith the LOX, I have to write about the topic agreed on by all three of us. But on my album, I can get deep into it and let you understand me.β
Mixtape DJs like Kay Slay, Clue, and Whoo Kid understand Sheek. For months, the streets have been buzzing with his highly sought after freestyles. But when Walk Witt Me drops, the buzz will stop and the raucous will begin. Super lyrical songs like the standout βHow I Love You,β take listeners on a mental journey through Sheekβs ups and downs in the hip hop game. βIβm explaining everything that has happened to me,β he says. βHow I was chillin with the LOX, got comfortable, and then this hip hop thing left me alone because I got so comfortable.β Tracks like the bonafide hit βDonβt Worry,β featuring legendary DJ Kid Capri, samples the Jackson 5 Motown classic βDonβt Worry.β Sheekβs cocky declaration of his triumphant return to the spotlight will keep kids rapping along to βDonβt Worryβ for days. Hardcore cuts like βLove Youβ and βDonβt Mean Nutinβ featuring Jadakiss, Styles, and J-Hood remind LOX lovers that Sheek will never loose his grimy touch. While the happy, carefree vibe on βGood Dayβ with the memorable hook βWhite tees, white airs, TK/Benz coup, rims spinnin, jake hatin me/ But thatβs my life, my life in the sunshineβ guarantees a summertime bass knocker. Spin queen Cocoa Chanel produced βOkβ the party anthem which is one of Sheekβs favorite album singles. And when the club closes and cats take a minute to focus, the title track βWalk Witt Meβ will show a deep, intellectual side of Sheek that will make listeners stretch their eyes wide with amazement. βWhen I got into this solo project I was in a zone,β he says. β A lot came out. And Iβm still in a zone right now.β
But Sheek has always been focused. As 11 year old Sean Jacobs, he rapped with childhood friend Jayson βJadakissβ Phillips and started the group Lil J and Shawn Ski. Years later, after signing with the LOX to Bad Boy, fighting for release, and eventually signing to Ruff Ryders, Sheek has only thought about one thing. βI was always the cat like, βLetβs get a label and sign to ourselves,β Why donβt we get our own artists and put ourselves out there? he says.β Years later, Sheekβs focus paid off. As the first MC set to drop from D-Block, Sheek is concentrating on the task at hand. βI have to blow up this album and take this label to another level,β he says. βI canβt dance on stage forever.β
So although you mayβve doubted Sheek, he never underestimated himself. Because the stellar work on Walk Witt Me is all about confidence and focus. βThis is mental. All soul and very carefully thought out,β he says. βRun with it.β And after people witness Walk Witt Me, theyβll be running with Sheek for life.
Sheek's second album, "After Taxes", was released in 2005 with guest spots from Fabolous, Beanie Sigel, T.I., Redman and his two LOX homies Jadakiss and Styles P. It also featured production from producers like Havoc, Rockwilder, Red Spyda and The Alchemist. Unlike his first album, "After Taxes" was released on Kock Records, one of the largest independent labels in the United States. Sheek got a minor hit "Kiss Your Ass Goodbye". Also included on the album was a diss track going at 50 Cent called "Maybe If I Sing".
* He, as well as Jadakiss, made guest appearances in the movie Honey.
* Sheek Louch met Jadakiss during his early childhood.
* In high school, he used to play football on the varsity team. However, due to an injury, he was force to not continue football.

You Can kiss Your ass Goodbye
The song, "Bag 'Em" by Sheek Louch, is a classic D-Block anthem that features Louch speaking about the hard-knock lifestyle that he and his crew embody. The chorus repeats the infamous D-Block name along with the lyrics, "You Can kiss Your ass Goodbye," creating an aura of intimidation around the D-Block reputation. Sheek starts the first verse by outlining the rough lifestyle of D-Block members and encouraging listeners to "wreck their click." He is urging them to grab their guns and go after anyone who stands in their way. Louch also raps about making music that incites violence because that's the only way he knows how to craft lyrics. He highlights the hypocrisy of society for telling him to stop making such music while publicly embracing stars like Ja Rule and 50 Cent, who have also produced violent music.
Styles P takes on the second verse and flexes his rap muscles, emphasizing his skill and artistry as a rapper. He targets people who have been talking behind his back, saying he would throw their mother off the roof and then pay her for her troubles. He demands listeners to "ask their man if he's ready to die" for them, proving that D-Block takes loyalty seriously. Styles raps about the group's ability to take over any neighborhood they set foot in, saying that they're not afraid of anyone, including the police. The lyrics offer a glimpse into the violent D-Block world that Sheek Louch and Styles P inhabit.
Overall, the song "Bag 'Em" is an unapologetic celebration of violence and hardcore gangsterism. It's a raw and gritty anthem that accurately portrays the dark world that D-Block members inhabit. However, it's important to note that the song should not be taken as a glorification of violence but as an honest reflection of the struggles that these people face.
