New York rap vet and member of D-Block, Styles P, announced this week the release of his first new solo album in four years.
Titled Master of Ceremonies, the rapper's fourth album will drop in October, via eOne Music.
"Master of Ceremonies is a body of work that follows the finest lyrically tuned MCs. Point blank, period. It was made with respect of the craft," said Styles.
It will feature fellow D-Block members Sheek Louch and Jadakiss, as well as heavyweights like Lloyd Banks, Rick Ross, Busta Rhymes, Pharrell, Pharoahe Monch, Aja, Rell and Avery Storm.
On the production side, the album boasts beats from Pete Rock, Statik Selektah, Warren G, AraabMuzic, Reef and others.
Styles' latest new single, "Harsh" featuring Rick Ross and Busta Rhymes, is a classic Styles street anthem, and is out now.
The rapper dropped a music video for the Jadakiss-assisted single, "It's Ok", earlier this month. It was filmed at Styles' own Bronx-based juicebar, Juices For Life. (See the video below),
