Ratings Guide

The Lost Boyz included Freaky Tah, Mr. Cheeks, Pretty Lou, and Spigg Nice. The rap quartet's first single -- "Lifestyles of the Rich and Shameless" -- earned them a contract with Uptown Records, which released their second single, "Jeeps, Lex Coups, Bimaz Benz," later in 1995. After the "Renee" single (recorded for the Don't Be a Menace to South Central While You're Drinking Your Juice in the Hood soundtrack), The Lost Boyz released their debut album, Legal Drug Money. The LP hit the charts and was certified gold. Love, Peace Nappiness followed in 1997. Freaky Tah was murdered on March 28, 1999; LB IV Life appeared that autumn.
