DX-clusive: The LOX Arent On Def Jam
October 23rd, 2007 | Author: Paul W Arnold
Contrary to rumor, The LOX are currently without a major label deal. Nah, not as the group, Styles P clarified to HipHopDX late yesterday. False rumors. Kiss just took [a solo deal with Def Jam]. He gonna finish [his] joint up. And then when we finish making [The LOX] album, well decide on [a label].
As for how soon Styles, Sheek and Jadakiss will be signing on the dotted line with somebody, there doesnt appear to be any rush. We not sweating it, says Styles. We just recording right now. Our first priority is really making solid music. And after we make the solid music, well go where we wanna go.
While rumors just recently surfaced regarding The LOX label home, there has long been a rumored title for the groups third album, Live, Suffer, Celebrate. But according to Styles, that title may too prove to be just a rumor. Might be [called that], might change, he says of the albums title. We doing so much new music, so I dunno. The energy might change.
Although the title to the next LOX album isnt set in stone yet, Styles can confirm some of the A-list beatmakers who are helming the boards for the project. As The LOX we gotta get a Premo joint, he says. Im on Premos heels right now. In addition to securing heat from the man who laced Recognize on the groups last full-length, 2000s We Are The Streets, The LOX have also clocked studio time with Pete Rock, Alchemist, and Swizz Beatz for their junior effort.
It should be a busy 08 for the Yonkers crew, with Jadakiss Def Jam debut tentatively dropping first quarter and Styles and crew aiming to drop the new LOX album mid-year.
Stay tuned to HipHopDX for our feature with Styles P coming soon.
