Jadakiss Career:
Jadakiss entered a Florida freestyle competition at age 12 and caught the attention of Ruff Ryders Entertainment. Jadakiss formed the rap group The Warlocks with Louch and Styles P, and after meeting Mary J. Blige, she gave the group’s demo to Puff Daddy.
The Warlocks were signed to Bad Boy Entertainment, and they shortened their name to The Lox.
The group appeared on The Main Source’s “Fuck What You Think” LP in 1994, performing on the track “Set it Off.”
The Lox wrote and performed on many tracks with other Bad Boy artists, such as Mariah Carey’s “Honey,” Puff Daddy’s “It’s All About the Benjamins,” The Notorious B.I.G.’s “Last Day,” and Mary J. Blige’s “Can’t Get You Off My Mind.”
The Lox had their first hit when their Notorious B.I.G. tribute “We’ll Always Love Big Poppa,” was included as the B-side on Puff Daddy‘s “I’ll Be Missing You” single.
The Lox released their first studio album, “Money, Power & Respect,” in Jan, 1998, and the Platinum album reached #3 on the Billboard 200 chart and #1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. They left Bad Boy Records and signed with Ruff Ryders Entertainment, then released another Platinum album, 2000’s “We Are the Streets.”
Jadakiss released his first solo album, “Kiss Tha Game Goodbye,” in August 2001, and it was certified Gold and featured the singles “We Gonna Make It,” “Knock Yourself Out,” and “Put Ya Hands Up.”
His follow-up, 2004’s “Kiss of Death,” also went Gold and topped the “Billboard” 200 chart,” Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, and Top Rap Albums chart. The single “Why” (featuring Anthony Hamilton) was a hit and caused controversy because of the line “Why did Bush knock down the towers?,” in reference to 9/11.
In 2007, Jadakiss signed with Roc-A-Fella Records, Jay-Z’s label, and two years later, he released the album “The Last Kiss,” which reached #1 on the Top Rap Albums and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts.
