Flashback Friday: Styles P and Solange

It’s the first Friday of 2017 but the game hasn’t changed – it’s still the day we turn back the clock and revisit old favorites. Here’s what’s in our speakers today.

Styles P, A Gangster and a Gentleman (2002)

While y’all get excited about my Cousin Chris Brown and Soulja Boy settling their issues in some ridiculous boxing match or whatever, I’ll just turn up this Styles P. While your favorite rappers brag about how “hard” they are, Styles quietly proves to be the realest guy in the game.

Solange, Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams (2008)

Solange had a huge 2016, releasing one of the best albums of the year and delivering a project that may finally thrust her into superstardom. But most of us already knew what she was capable of. Solange’s sophomore album proved she was a student of the game, mixing Motown influences with her own quirky style. This one was pretty underrated.
