At the behest of Combs, the Warlox later changed their name to the L.O.X. After acquiring the demo tape that the group made with Jaz-O, Blige passed it on to Bad Boy CEO Sean 'Puffy' Combs who signed them to a deal. One of their admirers was the 'Queen of hip hop soul,' fellow Yonkers native Mary J. The group eventually changed their name to the Warlox and continued developing a fan base by appearing on underground mixtapes.Īt some point, the trio connected with Jaz-O, and had a demo tape produced by him. While the local rap scene was being dominated by artists like Raw Rome, Lord Devon and a young DMX, the group began to gain attention for their lyrical style and ability to present tales of urban life. In 1994, they appeared on Main Source's 'Set It Off' from the album Fuck What You Think. As high school students, they formed a group called the Bomb Squad and began performing at local shows and producing their own demos. Jason ' Jadakiss' Phillips, David ' Styles P' Styles, and Sean ' Sheek Louch' Jacobs, began their musical careers in their hometown of Yonkers, New York.
