Sheek Louch Preps Def Jam Debut, Tour With Ghostface

D-Block rapper and one third of the LOX, Sheek Louch will embark on a new road as he strays from his five-year indie run and join Def Jam. The powerhouse label recently announced Louch’s newest solo album, Donnie G will be released on December 7.

In honor of his official fifth solo album, the Yonkers representer is gearing up for a US tour with frequent collaborator Ghostface Killah for three weeks before Donnie G hits stores. The artists have recorded on several tracks together, such as “Movie Niggas” via Sheek’s 2005 solo album After Taxes and “Metal Lungies” from Ghost's The Pretty Toney Album.

The tour will kick off on October 11, in New Haven, Connecticut and conclude November 13 in San Diego, California. See below for a full list of dates. —Nicki Nahmeanez
