 The prolific rapper first came onto the scene as a member of the Lox (with Sheek Louch and Jadakiss), and the group released three successful albums and penned numerous hits for the Bad Boy label. Quickly earning the reputation as one of hip hop's most respected lyricists, Styles since then has continued to work with Sheek and Jada as a third of D-Block, and has released 14 mixtapes, as well as 3 solo albums. Last year, Styles also released his first novel Invincible (One World/Random House) to much acclaim. He also co-owns Juices For Life, a juice bar in the Bronx, which can also be seen in the video for "It's OK."
