In 2001, after their 2nd album (We Are The Streets), and their departure from Bad Boy Records, they renamed The LOX slangin rocks D-Block and launched D-Block Records. Quickly after the launch of the label they added J-Hood to the D-Block group.

In 2005 they bolstered their roster to D-Block Records by adding MCs Team Arliss (comprised of Trav & Straws aka St. Raw), Bucky, Bully and T. Waters, the unofficial childhood member, signed to So So Def. For a time, P. Diddy (rapper and owner of Bad Boy Records) owned their publishing. They reinstated their beef with him even after performing together at Jay-Z's famous "I Declare War" concert; recently, however, Jadakiss and Styles P. appeared on popular NY radio station Hot 97.1 to plead for their publishing rights, a request which was granted.
