Sheek Louch tastes success, moves from "Dimes" to "Twenties."

With the unexpected success of his new single "Good Love," D-Block Records recording artist and petty criminal Sheek Louch, ne Sean Jacobs, has expanded the drug trafficking operation he runs out of his dilapidated one-bedroom apartment in Washington Heights. The perennially underperforming rapper has used the extra income generated from sales of his new album, "Silverback Gorilla" to increase the quantity of marijuana he sells in local clubs around his hometown of Yonkers, New York from "dime bags," to the more lucrative "twenty bags."

When reached for comment, a spokesman for the rapper announced, "Sheek Louch is on a roll. He thinks now is the perfect time to increase his business. This minor success has provided the motivation and, more importantly, the capital for Sheek to make an investment in his future and move to the next level." Louch hopes the increased revenue stream will provide much needed funding for the impoverished D-Block Records, a company that has not been relevant since the late nineties. "We doublin' our profits!" the rapper proclaimed after selling forty dollars worth of low-grade Mexican pot to 18-year-old Terrence Washington, a senior at nearby Saunders Technical School.

The news was met with resounding support from his label colleagues at D-Block Records. D-Block founder and music industry cautionary tale Jadakiss praised the move saying, "This is what we're talking about. D-Block moving that weight, we illegal up in this bitch. Some rappers talk about it, we live it."

“Silverback Gorilla” the rapper’s third solo album was released on March 18th, 2008 on D-Block Records, a division of Koch Entertainment. This week it fell 45 spots to land at number 86 on Billboard Top 200 chart.

Baby D readies concept album detailing the rise and fall of the Ottoman Empire

Atlanta, Georgia – This Wednesday, Koch Records announced plans to release the latest Baby D album, a prodigious three disc set entitled “OTTO MAN.” Throughout the three discs, Baby D, ne Donald B., a noted amateur history scholar and rap artist, plans to detail the rise and fall of the Ottoman Empire.

A Koch records spokesman, made the announcement Wednesday, adding, “We are incredibly excited to be working with Baby D on this exciting project. I think this will signal a sea change in the rap community in which artists cease speaking on trivial matters such as material wealth and drug use and begin to chronicle the great civilizations of human history.”

When asked why he had chosen the Ottoman Empire, in particular, Baby D commented, “Under Selim and Suleiman, the empire became a dominant naval force, controlling much of the Mediterranean. The exploits of the Ottoman admiral Barbarossa Hayreddin Pasha, who commanded the Turkish navy during Suleiman's reign, led to a number of military victories over Christian navies. Among these were the conquest of Tunis and Algeria from Spain; the evacuation of Muslims and Jews from Spain to the safety of Ottoman lands (particularly Salonica, Cyprus, and Constantinople) during the Spanish Inquisition; and the capture of Nice from the Holy Roman Empire in 1543. That’s straight gangsta. It’s goin down! I'm bout Money.”
