Reppin': Yonkers, NY

Breakthrough: In 1994, Jadakiss, along with friends Sheek Louch and Styles P, formed the rap group Warlox, which made its first appearance on Main Source's 1994 record ''Set It Off'' from Fuck What You Think (Wild Pitch). After signing to Bad Boy Entertainment, the group changed its name to The LOX and achieved breakout success with The Notorious B.I.G. tribute record ''We'll Always Love Big Poppa.'' The group's debut, Money, Power & Respect (Bad Boy, 1998), went platinum.

Now You Know: Following a very public feud with Bad Boy CEO Sean "Diddy" Combs, Jada, along with the rest of The LOX, left Bad Boy and signed with Ruff Ryders in 2000.
