According to Styles P, it was their sister, Mary J. Blige, who played their music on the tour bus while on tour. Puff Daddy, who was also on the bus, heard the music and was immediately impressed. He reached out to Ruff Ryders, who was managing The LOX at the time, and after hearing them rhyme, signed them to Bad Boy Records.

Styles P said that he was pretty sure that Suge Knight had wanted to sign DMX, who was a free agent at the time, before he signed with Def Jam. According to Styles P, everyone in the music industry wanted to sign DMX at the time, and it was not surprising that Knight was interested as well.
