Album Description
2011 album from the
rapper/MC. Known for witty wordplay and street life induced lyrics, Styles P is
far from your average ringtone driven rapper. Whether a part of the triple
threat The Lox, or as a solo artist, Styles' razor sharp slick talk has created
a cult-like following by his countless fans within the hip-hop and Gangsta Rap
community. Includes 'It's OK' (featuring Jadakiss) and 'Harsh' (featuring Rick
Ross and Busta Rhymes).

Brilliant Album
By Boskonio
Styles p aka SP da Ghost aka Pinero bka The Hardest out, dropped another one! It always makes me proud to see someone like SP consistantly drop solid efforts for us "Hip Hop Heads" and more appropriately name it Master of Ceremonies. To me he is an underappreciated MC in this game. However I do understand why his music doesn't have such a broad reach-his reality-based ryhmes(check "HARSH ft. Busta Rhymes, Rick Ross") are often too hard for tv. He starts it off flying w/ Avery Storm('How I Fly') which is a sonically funky midtempo track. An ode to his favorite drug. Lloyd Banks appears on 'We Don't Play' were Styles ironically spits "Do same thing get the same results/Creepin like Batman stronger than the hulk.."because the song is pretty much your standard piano driven heavy bass D-Block instrumental. The sinister keys on 'Ryde on the Regular' are the perfect backdrop for SP's often cryptic street tales. He even reunites w/ Pharoah Monch-playing hookman-on "Children" were they show their age, while describing the dumbed down technology crazed ages. Of course Jadakiss appears and they spit back and forth bar for bar, as only they could on 'Its Ok'. but the track suffers from a mediocre hook and production. Statik Selektah produces 'Feeling Gone' were Styles describes a numb/jaded perspective. The meloncholy feeling sums up the songs message while SP spits, you thinking the pain is cool?../Just another ghetto nigga with a million dollar crib.../Still can't blow away the pain with the bluntsmoke..tryna give my daughter and my son hope. Sheek Louch is featured on the forgettable 'Uh-Ohh' also the hard but smooth "Street Shit". Sheek spits uncanny and unpolished, guerilla bars. Rick Ross continues to drop quality verses alongsige Busta Ryhmes who provides the hook for 'Harsh' a standout cut (the beat is crazy). Pharrel provides and introspective soundscape w/ infamous falsetto crooning on the hook of 'Don't Turn Away', but the song lacks any real direction.'Keep the Faith' ft Aja is a hopeful soothing track. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen... Hebrews 11:1 Amen
With only 12 tracks the album could've been more cohesive but overall another solid effort from The Ghost!!!
