I was actually a big fan of Loon (rapper who was signed to Bad Boy circa 2001).
He dropped some really serious songs on the mixtape circuit around then (Live and Die, You Ain't No Gangsta, Can't Talk To You, etc.) and his self titled debut was actually pretty decent.
He hasn't done much since then, a few good songs (Callin', and Mobb Style ft. Lake) out of two mixtapes of really bad material.
His main fault seems to be the terrible production he raps over nowadays, and his "sell-out" tendencies.
There was talk recently from him that he might be linking up with Akon to make some music, so I'm kind of holding out some hope for that, but otherwise I'm not expecting much from him in the future.
(Also, Loon's diss tracks are pretty funny and his interviews are pretty entertaining)

I'm gonna link up some of those mixtape tracks later, including the truly great "Up In A Maze", which I forgot to mention...

Don't know anything beyond "How You Want That?" which was amazing.

He appeared on 'Pussycat' by Wyclef Jean, which I quite liked. But I couldn't tell you much was Loon and how much was Wyclef, Busta Rhymes, Derek B or whoever else was on there. Other than that, I know nothing about him.
