Download: A Salute To Styles P
Jadakiss and Sheek Louch are all well and good, but Styles P aka The Ghost is a true CRC icon…apart from all those shitty songs with Swizz and co. that he’s made, of course. But put this dude on the right beat and he gets the job done with minimal flash but a whole lotta…
