J-Hood Says D-Block Won’t Let Him Out of His Contract

 •  XXL Magazine  •  by XXL Staff  •  34 Comments

Former D-Block crew member J-Hood, who recently asked to be released from his contract with the Yonkers, NY based group, is now saying that the LOX have failed to honor his request. In a statement released to XXLMag.com, Hood claims that D-Block management, which includes LOX members Sheek Louch, Jadakiss and Styles P, have refused to finalize the termination of their agreement. “As all the majority of the fans out there know, I asked to be released from D-Block approximately three months ago and ‘til this day I’ve yet to be released from the label. The CEO’s in charge of the corporation are refusing to sign the papers necessary for me to go free as an artist, and on top of that, they [have] even [threatened] to ask for money for the release.” Rumors of Hood’s dissatisfaction with the label had circulated around for some time before he effectively confirmed them on a Youtube video that surfaced in late September. In the clip, Hood was seen dragging his D-Block medallion on the ground, and later appearing onstage with the clique’s onetime nemesis, 50 Cent. In a subsequent interview with XXLMag.com, Sheek Louch said that D-Block would “gladly” release the young MC from his contract, citing the group’s own legal issues with Sean “Diddy” Combs and Bad Boy Records. Now, Hood is likening his situation to that of his mentors. “We all know they went threw a similar situation earlier in their careers,” Hood said in his statement. “Lets hope that’s not what they have become, the biggest hypocrites.”

  • truth 101

    the lox should let me go. i not the biggest j-hood fan. but the lox cant even help them selfs out . how would they help out j-hood. the lox never been on top of there business. all of sheeks album been wack for real. he has personality but he songs are wack. style had it. i dont know where it went…he on the same boat as beanie sigal. rappers that are nice but cant right a good song to save em. and there ship has passed its alittle to late. jada is hit or miss. he can spit and has a long career but all has beats are tttttrrrraaaasssshhhh. that why g-unit wiped them out and dipset got ahead of them. all of there beats are trash. they sound better with puff. and everytime i been around j-hood he repped them. i think it good hes leaving. because as i read in the interview i would not wait for styles and sheek to tell me if i had a hit. come on are you serious ….you cant knock hood for leaving. them two havent had hits since…. i get high …sheek i dont even know his last hit. and jadas was WHY . so come on people lets be seriuos for a sec

  • 5yearslockeddown

    how is he lookin for attention d-block is a bunch of hepcrots just cuz they can rap good dont mean they good ppl. this dude stayed wit them for 6 years and never came out wit a album cmon let the nigga go. plus he better then sheek

  • Mpho

    lol@ dis nigga picture!! hahaha!!!

  • JC

    Who cares???
    Not like anyone is quick to sign him anyways. G-Unit don’t want him, they just used his punk ass like a groupie!!!

  • Rodjilius

    he kinda looks like gorilla zoe and r kelly in dat picture but yea he needs to get free from dat contract the lox shouldnt just hold him back like dat even tho he was actin like a dumbass on youtube

  • jessica

    F J-hood he is a punk and he is unloyal. He going to sign to G-unit for nothing because they don’t sell like they use to. the only one who sells record is 50 he puts his artist on the back burnner and looks out for himself. His artist are just there to dikk ryde his big ass gorrila rabbit teeth looking homothug.50cent garbage and this is comming from A NYC Ch1ck. J-Hoods is only nice when he freestyle unless he going to release and all freestyle CD he aint selling shyt either, G-GNOT D-BLOCK FOR LYFE.

  • big rara

    damn j hood looks like kc

  • http://kellsfetish.com Lo-Doe

    That’s real sad for the Lox. If that’s true, they boghuish because Puff did them the same way and they know how it feel. J-Hood is out if line for teaming up with their enemy (Once upon a time it was his enemy to). J-Hood got songs dissin G-Unit and then go break bread with these cats? Maybe they shouldn’t release him. The whole J-Hood & G-Unit movement is an even more bad look for him (J-Hood)

  • K.ola

    @ Lo-Doe…

    g-unit is not d-blocks enemy… homie this is rap and if that was the case whoever has the most monet will win the war…

    let him out of his contract and keep it moving for karma strike and you hoes stay under contract forever…

    and Jada at defjam doesent mean shit… he has wayyyyyyyyyy more rapper coming out before him… and he has to get a buzz (commercial) or he aint gettin a release day…

    IT DOESN’T MATTER IF HE GETS RELEASED OR NOT.50 WAS JUST USING THAT PRICK.HE’S LAUGHING AT HIS ASS CAUSE HOOD WAS DISSING HIM AND NOW HE’S ON HIS KNEES TRYING TO LICK THE MAGIC STICK.SHAME SHAME SHAME.

    HE CAN SPIT BUT EVRYONE CAN SPIT THESE DAYS.ITS ALL ABOUT MAKING GOOD SONGS AND ALBUMS.WORD TO THE LOX.

  • atlantaboy

    who is jhood, i never heard of him. free t.i. dam jhood.

  • SOUTHERNBREED

    That’s J Hood’s Fault.
    He’s The One That Came Out Dissing D-Block Before He Was Released From His Contract.
    He Should’ve Waited Til The Shit Was Done Before You Say Anthing.
    Dumb Ass!

  • ……….

    You peoples replies are real funny. I wonder how ya would react to some one basically spitting in your face and not wanting to approach you like a man to settle things instead running around ONLINE to try to make an attempt
    to make some one look wrong. It’s about honor
    and respect. Any of you read the previous articles HOOD ADMITTED HIMSELF THEY AGREED TO LET HIM OFF, then BOOM he basically spit in their face. The 50 move is nothing just made him look a fool the chain thing is a spit in the face. If you let anyone slide with that your just a bitch.

    MIND YOU I PERSONALLY KNOW EVERYONE INVOLVED lets just leave it @ that. Thats my personal opinion.

  • Rasta Smalls

    Yo j-hood done fucked up,you can’t bite the hand that feeds you unless your ready and capable of feeding yourself, I mean really his first joint never dropped tales from the hood,all his mixtape features was ill but that’s only gonna jump start your career you gotta make it work…. I’m pretty sure if he wouldn’t have disrespected them before he asked about the contract termination….dragging the d-block chain? This nigga must be sniff’in yayo….and gettin on stage with g-unit that just says idiot to me….d-block can sign me ima show’em how a so cal hip-hop head can take over the game!

  • Ray

    look i’ve always been a fan of hood, but him talkin grezy on wax without getting his releases first is stupid. the locx r gonna keep him locked like puff did

  • Tone

    Ok the dude Hood he nice and all but what i don’t understand is he made a diss track about 50 now he running to 50 sucking cock trying to sign with him???? where’s the loyalty? who was there when you was homeless with nothing not a pot to piss in? So when another diss record come out you gonna diss niggas that basically made you Hood?
