Joe and Jada - Styles P & Sheek Louch talk LOX loyalty, NEW music & have HILARIOUS old vs. young rappers debate

Episode Date: March 26, 2026

Fat Joe and Jadakiss sit down with their brothers Styles P and Sheek Louch for a full LOX reunion on the Joe and Jada set. The guys talk about what's kept the group untouchable for decades, with no ex...ec ever coming between them and no outside noise ever getting in. The conversation goes deep on the passing of Oliver “Power” Grant from Wu-Tang, K-Slay's irreplaceable role in hip hop culture, and how losing people in your circle hits differently as you get older. Styles P talks about his health businesses, being both plant-based and anti-glizzy, and why it’s important to know where your food comes from. Plus, Joe clowns a crew member's loafer-sneaker hybrid for the better part of ten minutes, they discuss Bad Bunny's Super Bowl set and the politics blocking his film in Puerto Rico, and Jada insists that Styles and Sheek “perhaps” hear Joe’s famous Iron Sheikh story. Styles and Sheek also preview new music, playing two records live in the studio. Joe and Jada is now STREAMING ON NETFLIX!

Starting point is 00:37:01 Then I go back over there and do that. So you all got your... Three rooms, yeah. It's all of our rooms, but we got three rooms. Studio is our studio, but we have three rooms. You're writing your verse here to the song. We could be doing one song in three different rooms. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:16 And then... Are three songs in one. You know what's crazy about writing, everybody can listen to the same beat. And if you don't listen to what he's saying, he's saying, I'm saying nobody, everybody will write a whole different verse. Not us.

Starting point is 00:37:43 It just makes sense. Perfectly. That's word to the mommy. And that's, that's on everything. That's crazy because I've been in situations where I wrote and other artists wrote and everybody had like different shifts. Yeah, man.
Starting point is 00:38:01 That's one thing that's really great about us. That's crazy. I must say. Is it because you stick to brand? Or is it because you're just that connected? Connected. I think I kind of know where he's going to go with this. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:38:13 Then we go for that. Yeah, you could kind of fill it out. That's crazy, man, because I show up the shows that fucking Remi be having the same. color outfits if I wear pink jackets you show up in some pink

Starting point is 00:38:45 coordinate you're right right frequency yeah That's what it is. It's the gods of this of this. It's the God, isn't me?
Starting point is 00:38:55 I keep hearing that shit today, man. That's a really great song. So we got new music. You always got new music. Always. I don't always got new music. I got to get motivated to go in there and spit. And there's, you know, I just don't.

Starting point is 00:39:56 So I don't do like a million songs. I don't do this. Like my shit is just there. Like I'm going for that. I'm doing that. Now if I'm in the album mode, I listen to beats going there. Yeah, like this is a street like that. But just having 50 songs or something,
Starting point is 00:40:15 you would take somebody like technician. Like it's some couple of DJs. that definitely got Fat Joe versus all over that I spit. You know, Kay Slay, rest in peace.

Starting point is 00:49:44 So has he been doing it with us? No. No. So if a nigga tell him, listen to the locks, so when the 20-something year call him to have to me, he don't got to listen to the locks.
Starting point is 00:49:53 I'm talking about a lot. He don't got to listen to Crack either. But no, you can't switch that shit up. You can't switch that shit up to your benefit. So if a 20-year-old come up to you and go, yo crack, I fuck with you. He may have never heard your catalog ever in life.
