Sheek Louch completes the solo trilogy of the Lox with the release of Walk Witt Me. The album proves that infamous trio is comprised of three deadly emcees who can stand alone on the solo tip. The LP has a running time of 56 minutes and contains 14 tracks with no skits or interludes. The only guest appearances on the album are from the D-Block family, Jadakiss, Styles P. and J-Hood. Walk Witt Me is the first major release from D-Block Records, where Sheek Louch handles business as an artist and Co-CEO.
The album is definitely “street” in every way. Sheek utilizes his lyrical ability to take listeners on a journey through D-Block. With top-notch production and extensive word play Louch is able to reveal his creativity and express all emotions that are relevant to life in the hood. The album is slightly militant in theme, but subject matter ranges from gun busting to love and all other sentiments in between. Walk Witt Me is a solid album from beginning to end; therefore there is no need to skip tracks. It is comprised of a diverse collection of beats that flow well together and they are all ear candy to emcees. The album contains plenty of quotables and infectious hooks that will make listeners in both the hood and suburbs stand up. The LP is in no way another Lox album; Sheek stands solo on 9 of the tracks.
The lead off single is Mighty D-Block (2 Guns UP), which is produced by Green Lantern and fe
atures Jadakiss, Styles P. and J-Hood. This track is arguably the best one on the album mainly due to the fact that it contains the whole D-Block family [this is the only track where the Lox are all together] and demonstrates that the entire crew is a force to be reckoned with. I Ain’t Forget is an insightful song that is retrospective to the life of Sheek Louch. It addresses his situation with Bad Boy, the solo careers the other members of the Lox, and the events that inspired him to branch out on the solo tip. This same vibe is continued on the title track Walk Witt Me; which is more than the typical “pour out a little liquor song.” On the song Sheek spits his rhymes from the heart and goes beyond the conventional “hood” clichés to offer listeners some food for thought. Its no doubt that Sheek is gangsta and therefore he is secure in his masculinity, so much in fact that he dedicates a thugged out ballad How Much I Love You to the love of his life. He also displays his ability as an emcee to verbally illustrate an episode on the block with the track 3-5-4(Tarrentino). The Alchemist produced Turn It Up is the perfect track to test the capabilities of the subwoofers in your ride or at your crib. OK is a track that is reminiscent of Sheek’s jiggy days at Bad Boy minus all the bling. It is a definite club banger that will get the females dancing and the fellas throwing it up. Other stands out tracks include Crazzy, Ten Hut, and D-Block. Overall the album is a great addition to your CD case and should stay in rotation for quit a while.

The title track is real, he gets gangsta wit styles on "don't mean nuttin". Sheek shows range and talent. one beef thou. every d-block release always feels they need some form of commercialism (even thou not much here) but sheek tones it down. Listen to this guy on mix tapes he kills! but here he needs to tone it down for everyone cuz it is a national release
