Sheek's new album comes under his current marketing services deal between KOCH Records, the (No 1 Independent label in the U.S.) and the mighty D-Block Records (created by Sheek with lifelong friends, Styles P and Jadakiss). The first release on D-Block was Sheek Louch's 2003 debut album, "Walk Witt Me" followed by "After Taxes" which debuted at No 23 on Billboard's Top 200 upon release. Sheek has sold a combined 400,000 units as a solo artist.

Alan Grunblatt, General Manager and Executive Vice President of KOCH Records, says, "Sheek Louch is a successful core KOCH artist and he defines gangsta rap in New York."
