Styles P Talks New Music And Says He's Better Than Everybody In His Era

Exclusive: The Ghost breaks down the beats and rhymes behind "Master of Ceremonies," reveals forthcoming duo project with Jadakiss, and takes the crown for his generation of emcees.

Styles P is quite possibly the only artist who can go four years between album releases and yet have it still feel for fans like he hasn’t gone anywhere.

Whether he’s releasing a series of weekly freestyles over other artist’s instrumentals, or dropping his own original-material mixtapes (a la 2010’s double dose of Pinero via The Green Ghost Project and The Ghost Dub-Dime), Styles makes sure to satisfy his supporters cravings for street-sensible lyricism by any means necessary.

But now the rapper/author (whose first novel, Invincible, can be read in part for free at StylesP.net) is looking to add-on to his official discography with the release of his fourth studio album, Master of Ceremonies (due October 4th). 

Last Tuesday (September 6th), The Ghost spoke to HipHopDX about his first official offering since 2007’s critically acclaimed Super Gangster (Extraordinary Gentleman) and its eye-popping production lineup of Warren G, Pete Rock, Statik Selektah, Reef and more. In addition to discussing his new solo effort, Styles revealed to DX that two-thirds of The L.O.X. have been keeping their eye on the throne, before he declared himself to be the occupant of that throne and better than “whoever’s out now.”
