Known best for his work with the New York-based hip-hop group The LOX, this rapper also founded the D-Block Records music production company. He released Money, Power, & Respect, his first album with The LOX, in 1998. When he was just twelve years old, he began rapping with his childhood friend and future The LOX collaborator, Jadakiss (Jason Phillips). The LOX rose to prominence after being discovered by Mary J. Blige and subsequently signed to Bad Boy Records.
