City Winery Philadelphia presents Styles P w/ DJ Technician & Reef The Lost Cauze w/ DJ Caliph Now live on May 29th at 7:30pm

Styles P, a member of The LOX, grew up on the streets of Yonkers, NY, rapping alongside Jadakiss and Sheek Louch. In their late teens the trio met Mary J. Blige who was so impressed with their tough street east coast lyrics, she gave them a big break by putting their demo in the hands of Sean “Diddy” Combs. Diddy immediately hired the trio to write for Bad Boy Records. With the label, The LOX quickly started collaborating on hits with Diddy, the Notorious BIG, Mary J Blige, and Mariah Carey which gave them instant notoriety and status within the hip-hop and mainstream charts.

In 1996 and 1997, the group wrote and performed on a number of Diddy hits, including “It’s All About the Benjamins” and “I Got the Power”, Mase’s “24 Hrs. to Live”, Mariah Carey’s “Honey,” the Notorious B.I.G.’s “Last Day”, and Mary J. Blige’s “Can’t Get You Off My Mind”. In 1997 The LOX received international acclaim when their tribute to the late Biggie Smalls, “We’ll Always Love Big Poppa”, was picked as the B side track off of Diddy’s album (3x Platinum) with the number one hit, “I’ll Be Missing You”. This single was the most played hit in 1997, which opened the door for The LOX first solo album debut in January 1998 entitled Money, Power & Respect (Certified Gold). Though the album was a chart toping success, The LOX felt the glossy sheen of Bad Boy Records conflicted with their grimier rap aesthetic and therefore cut their ties and moved on to Ruff Ryder Records. After another LOX album, We Are The Streets (2002), Jadakiss was the first to release a solo in 2001 Kiss The Game Goodbye and Styles followed with his own in 2002 A Gangster & A Gentleman, which sold more than 700,000 copies.

Styles continued his solo career with two more critically acclaimed solo albums: Time is Money and Supa Gangsta (Extraordinary Gentlemen), furthering his reputation as one of the rap game’s most talented lyricists.

In 2011 Styles diversified his talents, signing a book deal with Random House and releasing his first novel Invincible. While maintaining a demanding tour schedule, he also released the soundtrack to the novel as well as Master of Ceremonies.

Styles continued recording and collaborating in the studio, releasing The World’s Most Hardest MC Project in November 2012, and Float in April 2013. “I’m proud to be operating as an independent where I have total control of my projects”.

With the reactivation of The LOX and the release of The Trinity EP at the tail end of 2014 to critical acclaim and commercial success, Styles P has been touring extensively, both with The LOX as well as giving solo performances.

Also in the year 2014 he released his 7th studio Album Phantom and the Ghost and in 2015 he released number eight, A Wise Guy and A Wise Guy.

Styles, who has been juicing for the last decade, found that supplementing his diet with juicing brought balance to his fast-paced rapper lifestyle. This vision continues to fuel his success.

Styles P and Jadakiss are co-owners of Juices for Life juice bar, with 2 locations in New York, and one in Yonkers. They are fully committed to the health and wellness movement. On September 1, 2015, Elite Daily did a very unique piece on their commitment to the health and wellness movement. Watch: “How Jadakiss and Styles P Are Using Juice Bars To Give Back To The Streets”.

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.
