The Lost Boyz

L.O.S.T B.O.Y.Z !!!!

" Now hear's a song about a honey named Renee !!! "

From 1995-2001 The Lost Boyz dominated the Hip-Hop Scene when it came to Boy Band Style. They were very joyful, aggressive and smooth with the ladies, which personified the epitome of a Southside Jamaica Queens hustler. They wore Timberland's, Girbaud jeans and goose filled jackets like it was their uniform. Matter of fact, the only shoe they ever wore were Timb's adding to their unique flavor and overall thug appeal. Matter of fact they always wore too much clothes, like three t-shirts, a hoodie and a leather jacket. Jeans with long johns and three pairs of socks. This style made them unique proving their authenticity from being in the drug game to the music game.

Their music was about love, pain and struggle. They partied hard and made classic songs for us all to party too. On my way into the office today, I heard one of their songs on a cd I had laying around listening to the raspy voice of Mr.Cheeks (the groups lead rapper) I thought about the good old days of the 90's when just having a LEX COUPE,BEEMER OR A BENZ gave you superstar status. I remember pulling up to house parites back in the day blasting this out of my moms Lexus with dreams to one day be driving my own (I was too young to afford my own).

The group had 3 albums that were really classics, but everyone knows them for their first album titled "Legal Drug Money".

This album had Hip-Hop classics such as Renee, Lex Coupes Beemers and the Benz, One, Two Three Million Problems, Get Up ! and many others.

There second album was not too commercially accepted but Smooth nevertheless and down right feel good.

The second album was titled " Love, Peace & Nappiness". This album had classics such as the album title " Love, Peace & Nappiness" paying homage to the Ruler Slick Rick's "Hey Young World". I love the fact that they sampled that beat it made the song that much more enjoyable.
Album cuts such as " Me and My Crazy World" were great also due to its lyrical content about a male being torn between two women he loves and desires. He is left to choose one, however they both end up finding about eachother and confronting him.

Great song lots of irony.

On the night of March 28, 1999, at a birthday party for Mr. Cheeks, Freaky Tah was shot in the head while exiting the Sheraton Hotel in Queens. Tah was taken to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 4:20 am, at the age of 27. The getaway driver, Raheem Fletcher, was sentenced to 7 years in prison for manslaughter. In 2001, Kelvin Jones pleaded guilty to the murder.

Since Freaky Tah's death, the Lost Boyz have not been the same and fizzled out of Hip-Hop existence. For all of my women out their and all of the fellas let's take today Nov.4.2009 to remember the LOST BOYZ.
