The LOX reunite and address the deaths of Trayvon Martin, Alton Sterling, Philando Castile, and other innocent black males on new single, "What Happens," featuring J-Doe.

The LOX has reunited for a new single, "What Happens," which premiered today as a Tidal exclusive. Though Jadakiss, Styles P, and Sheek Louch have each been active on their solo grinds this year, this is the first time they've appeared together since they showed up on the remix of Tate Kobang's breakout hit "Bank Rolls." Their new song features J-Doe of Conglomerate Records. 

"What Happens" is politically-charged record that functions as a response to all of the unpunished killings of unarmed black men and boys. J-Doe sings on the pain-drenched chorus, and the Yonkers vets use each of their verses to explore what might happen when they finally reach their breaking point. They've searched for peaceful resolutions to no avail, and their collective desire to fight the system is stronger than ever. Jadakiss offers prayers to the families of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile to close out the song. 

Quotable Lyrics

What happens when we had enough?
What happens when we do to them what they do to us?
What happens when we say fuck that shit?
What happens when we see police cars and we rush that shit?
What happens when we say fuck the system, don't trust that shit?
