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.
Mighty D-Block
Sheek Louch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Everywhere we go-oh, people want to know-oh
Who we are, so we tell them
This is D-Block, mighty mighty D-Block
Everywhere we go-oh, people want to know-oh
Who we are, so we tell them
This is D-Block, mighty mighty D-Block
Everywhere we go-oh (yeah D-Block you bitch ass niggas)
Yo, the revolve' or the mati's cool
Knife game like Daddy Cool's, since Bally Shoes
This is real life street shit, truest and the deepest
Know niggas that go to jail just to get they teeth fixed
Think I give a fuck what you herbs say?
When I got the nigga that you trying to be watching my wordplay
Now everybody wanna be 'Pac
'Til they ass really get popped and they die on the third day
The Desi's got a beautiful ring
I can hit any one of y'all, options a beautiful thing
Body is finished, maybe they can save the tooth
Call me Kiss or call me the black Babe Ruth
That many hits, fuck that, that many bricks
D-Block, that many niggas, gats to your lips
My dope is two toned, but I had to change my spot
'Cause it turned into a drug free school zone
J.A.D.A
I'm top 5, dead or alive
And that's just off one LP
Jae Hood
Two guns up
All I know is bitches and money, grams and guns
Here's why they call me the Ghost
Yo, I don't give a fuck about pull out, cock back
Spin a motherfucker out, empty his chest
Leave your motherfucking whip a mess
All over the dashboard, in backseat pieces of flesh
Send niggas to the grave with they face half gone
Stomach ripped open, the beef back on
That nigga Sheek rude, I'll spit in your food
Tell the women in ya family to suck my dick
No respect, fuck that, I'll murder you quick
Mad weapons in the trunk, bitch, take your pick
Stick a grenade up under your fender
Stick a pineapple bomb in ya blender, I don't care about you
You say fuck Sheek Louch? Well, fuck you too
Your father, your mother, the hole you came through
Niggas don't learn 'til they're kerosene-d out
Lighter to their face, they'll spit gasoline out
You want me dead, I'm right here, do it bitch
Make me bleed 'til I'm motherfucking fluid-less
I ain't new at this and don't give a fuck about you
Sheek'll run up and smack the shit out you
I live this shit, it's never gon' stop
Open niggas' face with a octopus top
Face all ripped up, catch me on the block
Shells all loaded up, catch me wit the Glock
Pussy motherfuckers don't want no beef
Trip niggas down to their platinum teeth
Chase you in the house with the all black heat
Leave you just boxers and slippers on your feet
I talk reckless, I really want the coke and the money
But I'll settle for your necklace
D-Block (two guns up)
Everywhere we go-oh, people want to know-oh
Who we are, so we tell them
This is D-Block, mighty mighty D-Block
D-Block (two guns up)
Call up Hood, hit up your hood
Skip up street
I grew up as a young dude, chilling wit them old cats
Couldn't cop crack so I had to slang Prozac
Fuck being broke, I'm trying to cop a tan four
Trap you up like niggas did Pussy in The Sopranos
You really want beef? I'm busting the TEC
I'll hit you up in the park while you're doing your sets
It's (D-Block) (yeah yeah y'all)
You can't get no streeter, nigga
I'm nice wit the hands but I'm better wit the heater
Old school style, stash haze in my sock
I'll bust at you and turn your Ac' Jeep to a drop
You niggas talking like y'all can't get stuck up
I ain't an icon but y'all will still get fucked up
As we continue on, your hood you finish
Write a suicide note and get a window on
Nigga, that's the type of shit we on
Redrum Redrum, spin it back like a Missy song
Take a cold heart to twist your mom
But it's wintertime, shotty under the snorkle
Flip when it's dinner time
Strange days without Angela Bassett
Middle of the hood, niggas handling plastic
Gotta watch ya head and not get popped with lead
And watch ya bread, not get popped by Feds
Anyway we gonna be in the hood
With the burners and the hawks, nigga, P in the hood
Everywhere we go-oh, people want to know-oh
Who we are, so we tell them
This is D-Block, mighty mighty D-Block
The song "Mighty D-Block" by Sheek Louch is an anthem for the D-Block rap group. The first lines of the song indicate that the group is known wherever they go and they proudly proclaim themselves as D-Block. The lyrics in this song are bold and straightforward and assert the group's toughness in the streets.
The first verse speaks about using weapons like guns and knives and the life of crime. The lyrics suggest that the path the rappers have taken is the truest and deepest form of street life. The second verse includes J.A.D.A claiming to be top five in the game, all with one LP. Jae Hood describes his world of bitches, money, guns, and grams. Sheek Louch describes his violent tendencies, his disdain for those who cross him, and his disregard for human life. These violent lyrics are indicative of the gangster lifestyle that D-Block portrays.
The chorus repeats throughout the song and serves as a reminder of the group's identity and strength. The song concludes with an invitation to the listener to join them in their hood, where they control the streets with their guns.
