Styles P
But mixtapes are just basically for the ‘hood. So when I’m on mixtapes, basically I pretty much try to “go-in.” And I’m not too worried about it being too negative, too positive, or if it’s too this or too that. I just do it. I just do whatever I felt that night. So I’m just going to do it, and I leave it at that.
The Early Years
David Styles was born in Queens and raised in Yonkers, New York. He began rapping with Jadakiss and Sheek in 1994, and adopted the stage name, Styles P. The three signed with Bad Boy Records and formed a group called The LOX, an acronym for “Living Off Xperience.” They released one album with Bad Boy Records, then left the label with great fanfare, and signed with Interscope Records.
Styles P released his debut solo album in 2002, entitled A Gangster and a Gentleman. The album includes a number of samplings from various artists, including Al Green, Aretha Franklin, and Toto. A Gangster and a Gentleman peaked at #6 on the Billboard Top 200 and at #2 on Billboard Top R&B/hip hop charts. The first single, Good Times peaked at #6 on the R&B/hip hop chart, but his second single, My Life, did not fare so well.
Building on a Strong Foundation
With a solid fan base from his work with The Lox, his mixtapes, and the success of his first solo album, Styles P released his second album, Time is Money. The album climbed to #79 on the Billboard Top 200, but peaked at #19 in the Billboard Top R&B/hip hop charts and at #10 on the Top Rap Albums charts. Singles, Can You Believe It?, I'm Black, and Favorite Drug were all released as singles from this CD.
Super Gangster (Extraordinary Gentleman) was released in 2007. It was leaked to the internet weeks before its physical release, and demand for the album and downloads of the track were both high by the time the album was legally available. The album debuted at #51 on the Billboard Top 200 and sold 99,287 copies in its first week.
