Lady Luck (born 1983) is the stage name of rapper Shanell Jones.
Luck signed a five-album record deal with Def Jam worth between half a million and a million dollars at the age of 17 on the strength of several freestyles that she did for New York radio station WQHT-FM. Luck was the subject of a feature in The New Yorker and a series of articles in The Source, which ran monthly installments on her career.
Lady Luck was featured in the 2000 documentary film of Jay-Z's 1999 tour, Backstage.

Who liked it now and again:

And again and again
And again and again and again.”
