Album Notes
Personnel: Sheek Louch, Styles P, Jadakiss, J-Hood (rap vocals); Stephanie Lyn (keyboards, background vocals).

Recorded at Liveson, D-Block, Yonkers, New York; Cocoa, Queens, New York; Green Lantern Studios, New York, New York.
Following solid solo records from Jadakiss and Styles P, Sheek Louch, the third member of Yonkers rap trio the Lox, has a high standard to uphold. However, if Sheek Louch (pronounced "Sheik Loosh") is anxious, his ever-confident delivery, a laid-back sort of bravado, betrays not a bit of worry on WALK WITT ME, an intelligent, highly self-aware, and engaging debut.
Sheek reveals a certain depth from the start of WALK WITT ME. "For You" knocks many high roller myths while commenting the Lox's break from Bad Boy Records; of course, then Sheek flips the script back with a celebration of the lifestyle on the next track, "OK." The Lox have always known the value of good production, and Sheek furthers that legacy with an expertly crafted record; of particular note is the Alchemist's work on the pounding, captivating club banger "Turn It Up." And though he's appealing as a member of the Lox, Sheek sounds at home on his own, flowing with a relaxed but immediate storytelling style from the Biggie and Nas school of lyricists. In fact, he shines brightest when he chronicles his creation of the D-Block label on "I Ain't Forget" or when he earnestly decries the state of the world on the excellent title track.
