Earlier this month, The LOX made a big return with “Loyalty & Love,” and it looks like there’s plenty more where that came from. Today, we get to check out a new single from the Yonkers trio titled “Gave It To ‘Em,” which sees production from araabMUZIK and Ruff Ryders alum Swizz Beatz. As with their previous effort, these three are still spitting hard-hitting lyrics like it was still the beginning of the century:
“Big man with the muscles actin’ hard, put the razor to ‘em, silverback brains on the wall, I Gorilla Glue’em/
Cross anyone of my niggas, I don’t care how you do ‘em, send his cold body back home, I don’t care how you flew him/
Brother cousin used to work with him, I don’t care how he knew him, send my main bitch to go fuck him, I don’t care how she screw him/
Plant-based vegan or beef, I don’t care how you chew him, LOX got to many fuckin hits, it’s hard to brew ‘em/”
In addition to the group’s recent releases, members Jadakiss and Styles P have been active on the solo circuit as well. Last March saw the release of Jada’s sixth album Ignatius, which saw 13 tracks and appearances from Pusha T, Ty Dolla $ign, 2 Chainz, Rick Ross, John Legend, DeJ Loaf, and more. The album easily earned Jadakiss a top 40 spot on the Billboard 200 thank to about 20,000 album equivalent units sold. Just last week, Styles P dropped off his thirteenth LP Styles David: Ghost Your Enthusiasm, which boasts hard-hitting cuts like “Hundred” and “Time.”
Press play on “Gave It To ‘Em” below. Given that The LOX haven’t released a studio album together since Filthy America… It’s Beautiful, it’s hopeful that a quarantine follow-up is in the works.
