Styles P

David R. Styles (born November 28, 1974), better known by his stage name Styles P (also known mononymously as Styles), is an American rapper, best known as a member of East Coast hip-hop group The Lox. Formed with fellow rappers Sheek Louch and Jadakiss in 1994, the group was also part of the Ruff Ryders Entertainment collective. As a solo act, Styles signed with Ruff Ryders' parent label, Interscope Records, to release his debut studio album, A Gangster and a Gentleman (2002).

He guest appeared alongside Jadakiss on Jennifer Lopez' 2002 single "Jenny from the Block," as well as Senegalese-American singer Akon's 2004 single "Locked Up" — both songs peaked within the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100. He has since released the albums Time Is Money (2006), Super Gangster (Extraordinary Gentleman) (2007), Master of Ceremonies (2011), The World's Most Hardest MC Project (2012), Float (2013), Phantom and the Ghost (2014), A Wise Guy and a Wise Guy (2015), and G-Host (2018).
