Blige, and consequently Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs, who signed the group to Bad Boy Entertainment. A demo they recorded with Jaz-O won over fellow Yonkers native Mary J.
Styles P (David Styles), Jadakiss (Jason Phillips), and Sheek Louch (Sean Jacobs) rapped together in high school under the name the Bomb Squad (not to be confused with Public Enemy's production team) and eventually became known as the Warlocks. Years after achieving the feat, the LOX resumed recording together with the Trinity series and the albums Filthy America.It's Beautiful (2016) and Living Off Xperience (2020), all issued through the self-operated D-Block label. MCs Styles P, Jadakiss, and Sheek Louch then went solo with across-the-board commercial success, and in the process became one of few groups with a Top Ten entry on the Billboard 200 from each member. After the hard-hitting trio from Yonkers established themselves with a good amount of supporting collaborative work, they cashed in with their Top Ten debut, Money, Power & Respect (1998), then made a better stylistic fit with Ruff Ryders, where they issued another Top Ten hit with We Are the Streets (2000). Within only a few years during the late '90s and the following decade, veteran rap group the LOX were factors in the commercial dominance of Bad Boy and the ascent of Ruff Ryders.
