The LOX - an acronym for Living Off Experience - are a
Yonkers, NY-based rap trio who worked their way up through
the Bad Boy training camp, writing and rapping on hits by
the likes of Puff Daddy, the Notorious B.I.G., Mary J.
Blige, and Mariah Carey before releasing their debut album
in early 1998. Sheek (Shawn Jacobs), Jadakiss (Jayson
Phillips), and Styles (David Styles) began rapping together
in their childhood. By the time they reached their late
teens, they had settled on the LOX name. Eventually, they
met Mary J. Blige. Impressed by their demo tape, Blige
forwarded the tape to Sean "Puffy" Combs, who hired the
trio as writers. Between 1996 and 1997, the group wrote and
performed on a number of Combs productions, including his
own "Its All About The Benjamins" and "I Got the Power",
Mases "24 Hrs. To Live", Mariah Careys "Honey", the
Notorious B.I.G.s "Last Day", Mary J. Bliges "Cant Get
You Off My Mind", and Zhanes "Saturday Night".
The LOX received an unexpected boost in the summer of 1997,
when their tribute to the late Biggie Smalls, "Well Always
Love Big Poppa", was picked as the B-side of Puff Daddys
international number one hit, "Ill Be Missing You". The
single was the biggest hit of 1997, setting the stage for
the January 1998 release of The LOXs debut, "Money, Power
& Respect", which went as high as number three on the pop
album charts. After a switch to the Ruff Ryders label camp,
"We Are the Streets" followed in early 2000.
"If You Think Im Jiggy" was the first single released from
The LOX debut album, "Money, Power & Respect". It was
released in January 1998 and was produced by Dame Grease.
The single was a success, peaking at 30 on the Billboard
200, 21 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and 9 on the Hot Rap
Singles. The song interpolates Rod Stewarts "Do Ya Think
Im Sexy". US promo.
