After appearing on two Lox albums, 1998’s platinum debut Money, Power & Respect, and 2000’s 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 he’d ever be. After dropping two LOX albums, 1998’s platinum debut Money, Power & Respect, and 2000’s 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 hop’s greatest classics, “D Block.” As the first artist signed to D-Block, Sheek’s 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, you’ll never sleep on Sheek again. In fact, you’ll be excitedly waiting for the next 16 bar ride through his life. “This album is all me,” says Sheek. “With 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.”
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 “How I Love You,” take listeners on a mental journey through Sheek’s ups and downs in the hip hop game. “I’m explaining everything that has happened to me,” he says. “How I was chillin with the LOX, got comfortable, and then this hip hop thing left me alone because I got so comfortable.” Tracks like the bonafide hit “Don’t Worry,” featuring legendary DJ Kid Capri, samples the Jackson 5 Motown classic “Don’t Worry.” Sheek’s cocky declaration of his triumphant return to the spotlight will keep kids rapping along to “Don’t Worry” for days. Hardcore cuts like “Love You” and “Don’t Mean Nutin’ featuring Jadakiss, Styles, and J-Hood remind LOX lovers that Sheek will never loose his grimy touch. While the happy, carefree vibe on “Good Day” with the memorable hook “White tees, white airs, TK/Benz coup, rims spinnin, jake hatin me/ But that’s my life, my life in the sunshine” guarantees a summertime bass knocker. Spin queen Cocoa Chanel produced “Ok” the party anthem which is one of Sheek’s favorite album singles. And when the club closes and cats take a minute to focus, the title track “Walk Witt Me” will show a deep, intellectual side of Sheek that will make listeners stretch their eyes wide with amazement. “When I got into this solo project I was in a zone,” he says. “ A lot came out. And I’m still in a zone right now.”
But Sheek has always been focused. As 11 year old Sean Jacobs, he rapped with childhood friend Jayson “Jadakiss” 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. “I was always the cat like, “Let’s get a label and sign to ourselves,” Why don’t we get our own artists and put ourselves out there? he says.’ Years later, Sheek’s focus paid off. As the first MC set to drop from D-Block, Sheek is concentrating on the task at hand. “I have to blow up this album and take this label to another level,” he says. “I can’t dance on stage forever.”
So although you may’ve doubted Sheek, he never underestimated himself. Because the stellar work on Walk Witt Me is all about confidence and focus. “This is mental. All soul and very carefully thought out,” he says. “Run with it.” And after people witness Walk Witt Me, they’ll 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.

We comin [15X]
Get up out my way - hey, get up out my way [4X]
[Sheek Louch]
New York, Down South, Bay Area
I roll on down and look around
A lot of muh'fuckers don't know me now
Look for a bitch wanna give me brain
Let her know I'm really there to sell 'caine
If it's good I could be on that train
On that flight, by tonight
Long as the dope boy price is right
Get up out my way
Last time, next time I'll spray
Pop that trunk, Sheek and UNK
Tell Montay yo let that bump
I ain't no chump, move over dawg
Clear my space out when I walk
Elbows thrown, yeah I'm grown
I ain't no king of no microphone
I'm the king of my house, king of my son
Feel like a king when I'm holdin a gun
Ain't no killer but I'll vouch you two run
Five up in you boy ain't no fun

Got a little stressed I'll "Walk It Out"
'fore your ass be dead lyin on the floor, hot ass led
White t-shirt be straight up red (YEAH!)
[Chorus]
[UNK]
Yo! [2X]
I ain't gon' lie, I done came out set the world on fire
To the top slot couple niggaz got retired
Some lost then some got downsized
Everybody know me, everybody know thee
Oomp Camp, introduce them to the O.C.
Ay, why a B wanna try me?
See, now you plugged to the IV

Connected with the realest that keep the good smoke

[Chorus]
[Sheek Louch]
Geah, don't stop, get it get it

[Chorus]
[Outro]
We comin [7X]
The song "We Comin" by Sheek Louch is a rap song that expresses the artist's confidence and assertiveness in the way he moves through different regions of the United States to pursue his drug dealing business. The chorus says "We comin" repeatedly, announcing that wherever he goes, he means business, and whoever is in his way better move out. The intro verse explains how he moves from New York, down South and to the Bay Area, in search of customers and spots to sell drugs. He talks about how he is little known in these regions, so he carries his gun and chain and tries to make his presence known by offering drugs and looking for women to satisfy him sexually.
The second verse is by UNK, a rapper from Atlanta, who talks about his own experience in the rap game, how he rose to fame, and how he is well-connected on the East Coast with Sheek Louch, who has the "plug," a term that refers to a source of drugs. He explains his G code of conduct, which emphasizes loyalty, respect, and honesty in the dealings with other gangsters. He emphasizes the good weed smoke that he has access to and how it keeps him connected with other real people. He reminds the listeners that Oomp Camp, which is his rap crew, and D-Block, which is Sheek Louch's crew, run this town, meaning they are the ones in charge.
The last verse by Sheek Louch describes his personality, which is a mix of Yankee and Southern styles. He is proud to be a member of LOX, one of the greatest hip hop groups in history, along with Jadakiss and S.P. He dismisses a groupie who is pushing 40 and wants to hang out with him, preferring to keep his mind focused on business. He lists the pleasures he enjoys, which includes alcohol, drugs, sex, and violence, and brags about his luxurious lifestyle, which includes expensive cars, rims, and painted whores. He warns anyone who tries to play him that they would hear the sound of a gunshot directed at them.
