Yonkers-bred rap trio The LOX notched a string of memorable hits during the ’90s Bad Boy era of hip-hop.

  • In high school, rappers Sheek Louch, Styles P, and Jadakiss formed a group called The Bomb Squad and began performing at local shows and producing homemade demos.
  • They were discovered by fellow Yonkers native Mary J. Blige. She introduced them to Puff Daddy (now Diddy), who signed them to Bad Boy Records and changed their name to The LOX.
  • In 1997, The LOX had their breakout moment on Puff Daddy’s No. 2 smash “All About the Benjamins.” They also appeared alongside Mase on Mariah Carey’s “Honey (Bad Boy Remix).”
  • The LOX kept the momentum going with their platinum-selling 1998 debut album, Money, Power & Respect, which features their Notorious B.I.G. tribute “We’ll Always Love Big Poppa.”
  • The group then signed to Ruff Ryders Entertainment and released their gold-certified We Are the Streets in 2000 before taking an extended hiatus.
  • In 2016, they returned with their third album, Filthy America…It’s Beautiful, which cracked the Top 10 of Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.

    Looking to win some tickets! Longtime fan, seeing these artists is a borderline once in a lifetime opportunity at this point. Grew up listening to these NY legends. Would be awesome to hit the show with an old friend and fellow hip hop head. Thanks!

    I grew up in CT about an hour from Yonkers. The “Lox” represents what the East Coast is all about, smooth, gritty and most importantly real!

    Music has always been a way to sort out my hard questions or tough decisions. I would be so very grateful to actually see live performers and truly get. to not only experience the sound and meaning of the music, but intimately connect on such a loving level. Thank you kindly.

    I’m an east coast transplant that grew up in the 90s-2000s.. grew up on the Lox! Styles P, Sheek Louch and Jadakiss are legends from my generation that I haven’t gotten the chance to see live 😔 winning tickets for their show would be incredible.

    Money power respect 🫡 💯

    Fun evening out,

    Man, this would BE AWESOME! I had both of the Lox albums growing up and I STILL believe Jadakiss is the top rapper of all time. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see the Lox throw down on what’s (presumably) their last tour. Also, I heard that they have their own juice and papers that they’ll be selling–so stoked to see them live!

    My boyfriend LOVES east coast rap and has mentioned the Lox a bunch! He missed DMX when he came to town and then sadly he passed away so my boyfriend does not want to miss this show! What an awesome surprise and I’ll keep my fingers crossed
