Born in Corona, Queens, and raised on Groshon Ave in Yonkers, NY, Styles began rapping with Jadakiss and Sheek in 1994, as they all grew up in the same Yonkers, New York neighborhood. They eventually signed to Bad Boy Records, formed the rap group called "THE LOX" which stands for "Living Off Xperience", and recorded songs with Notorious B.I.G., Sean Combs and Darren Blackburn. In 1998, The Lox released Money, Power & Respect w/ the hit song "Money, Power, Respect" feat. fellow Bad Boy, "Lil Kim" and Ruff Ryder Earl "DMX" Simmons. Soon thereafter, Styles P led the Lox on the now infamous quest to leave Bad Boy Records. When they were finally released, the Lox signed to Interscope. Shortly thereafter, a new Lox album and Jadakiss' solo album Kiss Tha Game Goodbye were released.
Styles released A Gangster and a Gentleman in 2002, as his debut solo album. The album contained the song "The Life", featuring Pharoahe Monch which was originally recorded for Rawkus Records' Soundbombing 3 compilation album. The follow up hit was the song dedicated to marijuana use, "Good Times (I Get High)", one of the most played songs of 2002.
In 2003, Styles P. and Jadakiss appeared on the "Oz Soundtrack" with one of the harder edged songs "Some Niggas" about prison life. On a mixed album with several songs about the lifestyle behind bars, "Some Niggas" was one of the fiercest and most remembered songs on the street from that album.
In 2004, Styles P. released the mixtape Ghost Stories in limited distribution form (NY only) -- the mixtape spread to other cities and onto the internet in the next year. He was featured on the hit song "Locked Up", by R&B artist Akon.
In 2005, Styles P. received local market airplay for his and Jadakiss' remix of Mariah Carey's mega-hit "We Belong Together", and on Miri Ben-Ari's album, The Hip-Hop Violinist; he features on the track "We Gonna Win". He released two stand-alone mixtapes in complete form: Ghost in the Shell in the spring of 2005 and Ghost in the Machine in the Fall.
Styles P. has been featured on many rappers' albums including Ghostface Killah, Jadakiss, Sheek Louch, and Akon's albums. Styles is rumoured to appear on DMX's new album Walk With Me Now and You'll Fly With Me Later. He will also appear on the title track to The Roots' latest album, Rising Down.

Light it! Light it!
Light it! Light it!
Light it! Light it!
Put it in the air
Light it!
Light it up in here
Light it!
Light it!
Light it up in here
Light it!
Turned up, turned out
Burned up, burned out
OG kush and some girl scout
Cookies to turn my fuckin world up
Sour diesel, cat piss aids
So high I'm gone, I'll be back in days
Light one, light two
Keep lighting up if you like to
I'm so high, I'll make a weed cloud Skype you
Mary Jane is that shit
Take it to the face of the brain with that spliff
Addicted to the loud, I'm insane with that shit
Say fuck that, say fuck that
Say fuckin it
Say fuck that
Say fuck that, say fuck that
Say fuckin it
Say fuck that
[Chorus]
Fuck that, I need weed (light it!)
Fuck that, I need weed (light it!)
Fuck that, I need weed (light it!)
Fuck that, I need weed (light it!)
Stoner, loner
Tell yo girl to bite the boner
Woke up out of the kush coma
Like it's was up next
Hell yea I rap nice, it's racks on deck
Hit the bay and go dumb
New York to get a guy, West Coast Lungs
I always look for the angle
The weed is right, this is from the City of Angels
I need it, believe it
If I ain't high then I'm heated
But I'm real cool when I'm weeded
Say fuck that, say fuck that
Say fuck that, say fuck that
Say fuck that, say fuck that
Say fuck that, say fuck that
[Chorus]
Fuck that, light that
Police come, put it out and light it right back
You got a lighter use a strike match
I rose up, I twist up
I don't give a fuck, I light my shit up
I love weed, I need weed
My blood breathe, I probably bleed weed
Fuck yea, I'll probably breathe weed
Proud head and I'm proud of it
In the loudest let til I'm out of it
Then I find more smoke til I'm out of it
Styles be the ghost, Cloud 9 with it
Say fuck that, say fuck that
Say fuck that, say fuck that
Say fuck that, say fuck that
Say fuck that, say fuck that
[Chorus: x2]
Oh, man I live to get high with some weed
Oh, man I live to get high with some weed
