The lox hoping to release new album this spring

By: Yves Erwin Salomon

The Lox, which is comprised of Sheek Louch, Jadakiss, and Styles P, have been working on a new album which they hope to release in April. First, however, the group has to resolve all of their issues with their label, Interscope Records.

Styles P told us: "So if you don't hear from the Lox like if we don't work that out, then you'll just hear from me until we politically fix the Lox up."

Styles released his oft-delayed sophomore solo album, Time Is Money, last week but the rapper is almost done with another new album. Styles explained that he'd like to go on a different kind of tour this time out. He said: "I want to kind of do a hood underground tour. Got to get somebody, the perfect person to set it up. I want to do like a street underground tour like the holes in the wall, like the hip hop spots and all that. I want to do that."

The Lox were signed to Bad Boy Entertainment in 1996 by Sean "Diddy" Combs. The group released their platinum debut album, Money, Power, & Respect, in 1998, and they wrote several hits for Combs, including his biggest, "All About The Benjamins."

The group fell out with Combs in 1999 and the Lox's production company, Ruff Ryders, paid Combs approximately $3 million to buy out their contract. The Lox subsequently released a gold album, We Are The Streets, on Interscope Records in 2000.
