International hip hop legends The LOX are set to celebrate 50 years of hip hop with their legions of London fans this Spring, with the announcement of a one-off show at indigo at The O2 on Wednesday 17^th May.

Comprised of Sheek Louch, Styles P, and Jadakiss, The LOX entered the scene in 1997, after Mary J. Blige passed on their mixtape to Sean “P. Diddy” Combs. They collaborated on the single ‘It’s All About The Benjamins’, garnering the trio worldwide attention. The debut album ‘Money, Power & Respect’ (1998) went platinum, peaking at #3 on the Billboard 200 chart and #1 on Top R&B/Hip-hop Albums. The follow-up gold album ‘We Are The Streets’ peaked at #5 on the Billboard 200 chart and #2 on Top R&B/Hip-hop Albums. Meanwhile Sheek Louch, Styles P, and Jadakiss each rose to individual successes with critically acclaimed solo albums, businesses and tours. In 2014, ‘The Trinity EP’ was released, with the group selling out venues across the US, Canada and the UK, and in 2016, in partnership with Roc Nation, The LOX released ‘Filthy America… It’s Beautiful’.

In 2020, The LOX released fourth studio album ‘Living Off Xperience’. In 2021, The LOX made history squaring off with The Diplomats, aka Dipset, in the most legendary VERZUZ of all time, arguably the most viral music moment that year.  Most recently, The LOX graced the stage of the 2023 Grammy Awards to mark 50 years of the hip hop, alongside fellow icons including Questlove, Method Man, Public Enemy, Missy Elliot, Busta Rhymes, Run DMC, Ice-T and Queen Latifah. 

With some of their biggest tunes about to drop live in London, like ‘Ryde Or Die B****’, ‘All For The Love’, ‘Money, Power & Respect’ and ‘Recognize’, The LOX’s return to the  Capital city is highly anticipated.

Jadakiss of The Lox said “The LOX are about showmanship, brotherhood and the craft. We love bringing our show to the UK, and we know how much y’all love hip hop in London. It’s gonna be special to celebrate 50 years of hip hop in London, are you ready for The LOX?”
