Thanks to their dramatic Verzuz duel versus Dipset last week, the LOX are enjoying a well-deserved spotlight moment. The group, which included Jadakiss, Styles P, and Sheek Louch, put on a fantastic act in front of a massive crowd at Madison Square Garden in New York. They’ll make a surprise appearance on Kanye West’s unreleased album Donda, it was disclosed a few days later after Kanye played their collaboration at a listening session for the project. They’ve now been presented with a key to Yonkers, their hometown.
Fresh off their battle, The Lox are receiving love from everyone, even the mayor of their hometown, Yonkers, NY. Today Mayor Mike Spano issued the rap group with the key to the city, where Styles P accepted the honor of the group’s behalf 👏🏽📹 @revolttv pic.twitter.com/cljwEdYnQk

The key was accepted by Styles P, who received it from Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano. “We recognize LOX,” Spano said during a ceremony for the key. “We’re gonna give this to you. He doesn’t need it. He could go anywhere he wants but this will confirm it all.” Styles P also shared a video of him, Jadakiss, and Sheek Louch thanking Spano and the city of Yonkers.
“We are honored, humbled and appreciative to have the keys to the city,” the caption for the video read. “@sheeklouch @jadakiss @juicesforlife @farmacyforlife and myself will keep in mind and always remember the people are the True keys to the city !we will do what’s necessary to make it a healthier .safer , vibrant city for those coming after us .. and will push to make it happen in other cities as well.”
