Fans of Styles P, Sheek Louch and Jadakiss are always thrilled by the thought of new music from the trio as solo artist, but when it’s The LOX? It’s always that much more special. The LOX have teamed up with TIDAL to present their new single “What Happens” featuring J-Doe. The trio address the uncivilized treatments of minorities by law enforcement and ask the most important question of the time, what happens when we get fed up? This question isn’t presented in a threatening manner, but simply just a what happens when this happens? Along with the new record, they pen a open letter to America asking for peace and unity between these communities and law enforcement.
Read and stream the song over on TIDAL.
Dear America,
We want peace.
We do not hate police nor do we want police to hate us, but there is a divide in communities across this country. We feel like we (minorities) are a perceived enemy.
We salute and acknowledge the good officers of the community around America but recognition of good does not prevent us from addressing what is taking place across the nation..
Some may interpret this song as a threat – it is not. We are asking a question, ”What happens when we can’t take any more, what happens when we do to you what you have done to us?” As artists and businessmen we know good officers. We have gone to school with, grown up with and are friends with officers. Officers have supported some of our businesses and we appreciate and support officers right back. But, we cannot ignore recent horrifying incidents.
To police and government officials across the world, please understand and over stand – We want peace!!!
We are asking for no more, or no less, than equality, and justice, and absolute freedom, which is due to us.
– The LOX
