Styles P plans to leave his solo career behind for good but his fans won’t be left empty handed.
This week, the rapper came through with his latest body of work, Penultimate: A Calm Wolf Is Still A Wolf. Unfortunately, it also marks the second to last album that he’ll unveil in his career. Ghost comes through with gritty, hardcore bars over grimy East Coast production. Though it’s not a boundary-pushing album, it’s a firm reminder of why Styles P stands as one of the greatest rappers of all time.
The 13-song tracklist includes appearances from Bucky and Brady Watt, who appears on the previously released single, “Death Before Dishonor.” On the production side, Styles P enlists Vinny Idol, Black Saun, Ty Feif, as well as his own son, Noah Styles, among others.
In October 2022, the Yonkers MC announced that he would be releasing two solo albums before stepping back from hip-hop. Thankfully, he won’t be entirely moved from hip-hop. He revealed that he remains one-third of The LOX and will continue to contribute to future group efforts.
“I will be retiring late 2023 as far as my solo career is concerned,” Styles P wrote. “I have two more solo projects for y’all and I’m Out!!! I’ll be on deck for all things LOX music, shows etccc.”
He added that he was also stepping down from his position at Juices 4 Life.
