D-Block Preps New Album


Author: William E. Ketchum III (hiphopdx.com)

After seven years since The L.O.X.’s last official group release, D-Block is finally prepping a new disc.

The album, Prepare For Glory, is set to hit August 19 on Babygrande Records.

D-Block is anchored by The L.O.X.—Jadakiss, Styles P [click to read] and Sheek Louch [click to read] —but also has several other members: Poobs, Trav, Straws, A.P., T.Y., Bucky, Bully [click to read], Don D. and Large Amount. Longtime group member J Hood was dismissed from the group after publicly dragging the crew’s chain on the ground and dissed The L.O.X. for their inability to help get him further into the industry. Last month, he wrote a letter apologizing for his actions and explaining his rationale. [read here]

While each of The L.O.X. members have released their share of solo albums and mixtapes—the most recently being Styles P’s Super Gangster, Extraordinary Gentleman from last year and February's Silverback Gorilla by Sheek Louch [click to read]—Prepare For Glory marks the entire D-Block ensemble’s first official release since year 2000’s L.O.X. album, We Are The Streets.

The album’s first leak is “That’s My Nigga,” which features Jadakiss, Styles P and Sheek [click to listen].
