Styles P hasn't lost his touch one bit. Even though he's well into his position as an elder statesman in hip-hop, he's been putting in work like a newcomer to the game. In 2018, he released three projects including his joint effort with Dave East, Beloved which was arguably one of the best joint projects of the year. With so many years in the game, there's no doubt that Styles P and the Lox have influenced countless amount of artists in not only America but overseas as well.
On Styles P's latest project, S.P. The GOAT: Ghost Of All Time, he makes a connection with U.K. collective D Block Europe who take their name from The Lox. P connects with them on "Filthy," a grimy record that finds P getting back into his street-centric bars. Styles brings the U.K. collective into his world on this one while flexing his lyrical prowess.
Quotable Lyrics
Blood, sweat, and tears when I highed up
Money could buy love, that's a lie, it can't even buy luck
Get murked over nine bucks 'cause he need a dime
Never took the time to put in the hard work
