The Lox

The Lox (stylized The LOX or The L.O.X.) is an American hip hop trio from Yonkers, New York composed of rappers Sheek Louch, Styles P and Jadakiss. The group formed in 1994 and signed with Puff Daddy's Bad Boy Records two years later to release their debut studio album, Money, Power & Respect (1998). Despite critical and commercial success, the group parted ways with the label in favor of Ruff Ryders Entertainment in 1999, through which they released their similarly successful follow-up, We Are the Streets (2000).
