New LOX album on def jam with beats by sha money xl with a feature from 50 and banks.
good stuff
good for him
And this is news because?
New York Rappers are old and tired. I’m a Native New Yorker and iIhave no problem saying that Hip Hop doesn’t live here anymore.
NYC is a relic of what rap was and in my opinion should be.
ugh it is your opinion so I am not the one to judge but im proud of sheek… the most overlooked in the group but makes the most bread without a doubt… keep grinding YO
AS LONG AS SHEEK HAS GOOD PRODUCTION HE CAN’t FAIL
agreed… good production as well as a great flowing body of work ( lord knows we hate albums that sound like compliations) Sheek Louchiano is in good hands…..i hope. now can we get the Ghost some papers?
another fail for the house russ built…..smh
[…] Props to RR […]
Congrats to Sheek, but Def Jam ain’t what it used to be. No disrespect to Sheek at all, but Def Jam will sign anybody. Kinda depreciates the value of the label now…smh…
yea,congrats to sheek
Def Jam was gay when Jay was there, I kinda lik ethe idea of Sheek Louch and Big Boi being signed instead of teen r&b singers and southern rappers
hopefully it all works for him we know Def Jam is a graveyard for rappers unless your Kanye.
THIS is what you niggas like? Bwahahahahhahhahahhaha! This nigga hasn’t had a relevant record OUTSIDE of New York since he was with the Lox. Even then he was 3rd best….always. Wow…Ha!
This is odd.. Sheek louch is the weakest link out the group.. Maybe def jam plans on signing the lox.. I know numbers dont really matter.. But sheek has been brickin for years already.. Back 2 back bricking..
[…] Wow, this is quite a surprise. A couple of hours ago, the well renowned DJ Big Mike tweeted that Sheek Louch had signed a deal with Def Jam. Shortly after his announcement, Sheek took to his Twitter to confirm the news. He now joins his LOX partner Jadakiss on the label. Heads up RR. […]
clap 4 him. atta boy sheek! do work D_BLOCK
fail for def jam, sheek isnt gonna move units
I guess that Indy paper wasn’t as real as people say… More power to Sheek. Get all the bread you can.
But I really don’t understand a artist like Sheek, who’s been around this business a long time, still signing to majors… If thier goal was to be there own boss and control the paper…
And I don’t want to her after the first release “Nah son. The promotions wasn’t really right and they wasn’t focusing on my project”.. That excuse is lame
Yeah….sounds like a Sha Money move to me…could work.

“Nah son. The promotions wasn’t really right and they wasn’t focusing on my project”.

WIT RIHANNA N NE-YO, DEF JAM WILL BE FOCUSIN’ THEIR MONEY N TIME ON THEM N NOT ON SHEEK LOOCH!!!! MAYBE HE N JADA SEE SOMETHIN’ AT DEF JAM THAT WE DON’T!!!! BUT GOOD LUCK SHEEK!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
greenghost in feb. champishere3 in may! next up:Jada Album, Sheek Album, and then LOX album = D-BLOCK all classics
Hip hop needs to come on and take that full step into the new. Some veteran artists and labels have earned a platform in today’s music landscape, but lately either labels or artists seem like they’re stuck in the 90’s with the dated choices they’re making.
Examples: Red Cafe signing to Bad Boy, Def Jam signing Sheek and Shyne, Dame and Currensy both stuck in the 90’s and what the Roc used be, Buss titling his new album ELE 2, the list goes on and on. There is hope with artists like Jay Elect and J Cole getting shine for real talent, but not enough new talent is getting discovered. The labels would rather sign a washed up Shyne or Sheek than give a new MC a chance….. unless he’s from whatever region is hot at the time. Except for a few iconic pieces that deserve to live, let the 90’s die already.
@ Ty
THR PROBLEM IS THESE RECORD LABELS AIN’T SIGNIN’ A NEW ARTIST WHO ACTUALLY HAS TALENT WIT POTENTIAL TO GROW N HAVIN’ THAT LONGEVITY!!!! THEY RATHER SIGN A GIMMICK N GET THAT QUICK CASH OR GET AN ESTABLISHED ARTIST WHO’S BEEN IN THE GAME FOR A MINUTE N GET THAT AUTOMATIC CASH!!!! SHEEK AIN’T GONNA SELL MAJOR RECORDS BUT THEY KNOW HE’S GONNA GENERATE SOME INCOME FROM SHOWS N DECENT RECORD SALES!!!! RECORD LABELS ARE TOO AFRAID TO TAKE A CHANCE ON NEW TALENT THAT ISN’T A GIMMICK!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
@ mac DIESEL
Big Cosign on that. The artists would rather resuscitate a dead label (Bad Boy, Rocafella) than help build something new, and the labels would rather dust off an old B list artist than gamble on something new and fresh. The exception is of course like you said, the gimmick artists.
Since the entire industry rides the coattails and copies whatever is hot, maybe dudes like Jay Electronica and J Cole can move some real units and get major buzz and maybe signing dudes with real talent will become the new fad. We can only hope cause the game is more watered down than the free liquor in Vegas casinos.
Cosign Mac and TY..And Sheek’s had about 13yrs to make it happen. Time to put the rookie in and see what they can do
@ Ty @ Shawn
WE NEED SOME NEW RECORD LABELS OR SOME NEW LABEL EXECS IN THESE OLD RECORD LABELS TO TAKE A CHANCE ON NEW ARTISTS THAT ISN’T A GIMMICK!!!! IT’S LIKE NOBODY HAS THE BALLS TO TAKE A CHANCE!!!! THEY RATHER JUST SIGN A GIMMICK OR PLAY IT SAFE SIGNIN’ AN ARTIST WHO’S ALREADY BEEN IN THE GAME!!!! THAT’S WHY I PRAISE JAY FOR TAKIN’ A CHANCE ON J.COLE OR ANY LABEL TAKIN’ A CHANCE ON ACTUAL TALENT!!!! WE NEED MORE OF THAT!!!! ONE!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
no hate towards sheek but didn’t he said u was too nice for def jam on thatsong get that paper off the no security album….just saying
@mac DIESEL you need some pussy nigga!! > Pussy nigga
@ So Icy Boi!
FUCK OUTTA HERE YA OLD BITTER GROUPIE!!!! HA!!!! NIGGA U KNOW U AIN’T GETTIN’ NO PUSSY LISTENIN’ TO GUCCI N WACKA!!!! YA BUTTER CHURNIN’ COUNTRY BACKWOOD COON ASS JIGABOO APE!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Yo Action Jackson! Stop falling for the divide & conquer B.S.! This deal ain’t got spit to do with what U sayin’ yo! mac D & Ty see the movement. Labels ain’t gonna waste paper building talent, they want someone with a built in fanbase or a gimmicky one hit wonder to get paper off of.
Congrats Sheek! New ni@@az recognize what U gotta deal with, don’t hate on the OG’s because the execs don’t wanna f^ck with U’s.
@ Don “Labels ain’t gonna waste paper building talent, they want someone with a built in fanbase or a gimmicky one hit wonder to get paper off of.”
Sheek is niether of those type artist. And I don’t think anyone’s “hatin”. Diagreeing with somthing doesn’t mean Dudes don’t respect and like Sheek.

[…] The move to Def Jam represents more than just a new label—it’s a chance for Sheek to expand his reach and impact. With Def Jam’s resources and promotional power, Sheek is poised to break past the limitations he experienced in the independent market. […]
