"Sheek Louch's (Sean Jacobs) debut solo album "Walk Witt Me" (2003) is good. The Lox are a group I have followed for a long time, Jadakiss and Styles got there solos out, and now Sheek has gotten his shot dropping his and D-Block Records first album. The first two tracks on this did not stand out to much for me then Alchemist produced "Turn it Up" impresses followed up by the hardcore "How many Guns". Some of the tracks that really stood out for me, that I think will have longest replay value for me include: "I Ain't Forgot" where Sheek talks about coming up with the Lox, title track "Walk Witt Me" where Sheek looks for a better place- where there is peace, freedom, and people can get by without crime. Another exceptional track is "How I Love You" feat. Styles P, a powerful track where Sheek talks about himself and his love for Hip Hop, though one could initially mistake it for a track about a lady as another reviewer did. These kind of reflective tracks show Sheek can drop more then bangers. Sheek recollects on "3-5-4 (Tarrentino)" telling a grimey story. The one thing I would of liked to see on this album is more tracks, since there are a few I just did not feel ( IE For You, Ok). I like the D-Block (Sheek, Jada,Styles, Jae Hood) collabration tracks on this one like "Don't Mean Nothing" & Mighty D-Block (2 Guns Up) both of these are memorable. Another thing I like about this album is Sheek keeps this album street, keeping guest appearances down to his people and not really making any tracks for mainstream. End of day this may result in less album sales with the benefit being better music. Recommend checking out "Walk Witt Me" if you like the Lox, Sheek has shown he can hold his own as a solo artist. Also look forward to Lox's third album currently named "Live, Suffer, Celebrate"."

"Now, All This BS between the durrty souf and east coast is settled, in my opinion. The durrty aint s**t compared to this Album because the eastside is just getting started. As a MC myself I was shocked when I heard this album, almost every track took my attention, beginning to end. Tracks "Turn IT Up" which he raps about his flo, and D-block/Lox, "Dont Mean Nothin" an intry of Jada and D-Block are two tracks tight tracks ya cant mess with. "I Aint Forget" and "Walk With Me" are good tracks to chill to, ONLY FOR MY EASTSIDE N****S. He finishes off the album strong with "Mighty D-Block(To Guns Up) for those punks who wants to know what D-block is all about.ANYBODY THAT GOTS SOMTHIN TO SAY ABOUT D-BLOCK OR THE REST OF THE EASTSIDE HAS TO TAKE IT UP WITH US."

"I've listen to this album for a while now and there's only a one word to describe Sheek's 'Walk Witt Me'. Gangsta. The album is definately for the streets. First track that hits me is 'Turn It Up' with a banger-beat produced by the legendary Alchemist. Sheek's lyrics are on point on this track. Other standout tracks to me are 'I Ain't Forget', 'Walk Witt Me', 'Crazzy', 'How I Love You', '3-5-4 (Tarrentino)', 'Don't Mean Nuthin' and 'Mighty D-Block (2 Gunz Up)', although I liked the original version better. The song called 'OK' could be the second single from the album. But in the end, Sheek Louch keeps it real. 'Walk Witt Me' isn't far away from being a classic, believe me!"
Great solo from Sheek

"The last LOX member to release a solo does a good job like the other 2 members. All LOX solo albums are tight (and better than the group efforts) and this continues that trend. Has 1 classic, 7 great songs and the rest are all good. All songs are straight gangsta (even the deeper songs), but what else do you expect from the LOX. Not one weak track on the whole album and the only guests are fellow D-Block members. Production is handled by Supa MArio & Vinny Idol (do 5 songs), Liveson does 2, Mr. Devine does 3, Cocoa Chanel, ALChemist, Green Lantern, and DJ Twinz all do 1. A must have album for all rap fans, and one of the best of '03.
"Yo as soon as i put this cd in i was in shock.... no lie i thought this cd was gonna be wack but itz wayyyy betta then kiss of death, knock yourself ou and gangster and a gentlemen. A REAL D BLOCK ryda needz 2 bump this. Look out for AFter Taxes which is gona b anotha fire cd.. HOLLA"
