D-BLOCK'S INMATE: STYLES P
David Styles aka Styles P. The formidable rapper is back with a new album - and you know its going to be hard.
This guy seems to live in the
studio, using the mixing desk
as a pillow. One third of The
LOX - along with Jadakiss
and Sheek Louch- their break
finally came when, as young
enterprising teens, they met
Queen of Hip-Hop, Mary J
Blige. Blige, impressed with
the in-your-face grittiness of
the trio, passed the tape on
to Sean "Diddy" Combs who
promptly hired the boys as
writers for Bad Boy Records.
While on the label, they
featured on many well-known
chart toppers, including All
About The Benjamins, Mase's
24 hrs To Live, and Mary J's
Can't Get You Off My Mind. But
their most memorable track
while at Bad Boy was their
Notorious B.I.G tribute, We'll
Always Love Big Poppa, which
was named as the most played
song in 1997. Now he returns after just releasing a mixtape
in August (I told you he lives
in the studio) - with his solo
mixtape The World's Hardest
MC Project. Preview tracks
from his album are available
online (I recommend you
listen to I Know - great track).
They. Do. Not. Disappoint.
Seriously. He may have been
born David, but he's one of
hip-hop's Goliaths.
