Stylah is a South East London rapper and describes himself as a black arab [1]. After being intersested in music for some time, he decided to persue music seriously. His first offering, 2003's Prince of Thieves which he single handedly sold 9000 copies of on the streets of London and other cities [2] sprung one single called Warfare Part II featuring Seious. He shot a video and released it onto Channel U and many hip-hop sites.
Prince of Thieves caused a huge buzz for Stylah. He was soon recruited as the final piece of the jigsaw for legendary London based underground hip-hop group, the Poisonous Poets which consists of Lowkey, Tony D, Therapist, Doc Brown, Reveal, DJ Snips and Stylah. He is also a member of the international Catch 22 network started by Kool G Rap which includes Immortal Technique, Ruff Ryders producer Elite, Scram Jones, Lowkey, DJ Snips and many more. [3]
Stylah released the mixtape Crash Course with DJ Snips [4] in 2006 and took the same approach as his first CD by selling it straight to the streets with his Street Team including distributer D Raw. This CD is also on sale in HMV and Virgin Magastores. With this mixtape, Stylah has toured up and down the country many times doing shows and promoting his CD. It has had many reviews that have outlined Stylah's ability to better the original songs that he features on. Quotes can be seen on Stylah's Myspace [5]
[edit] Future
Stylah is scheduled to release his debut album Treading Water in 2007. He has also featured on many UK songs to create more of a buzz. He has had many offers by record labels for his album but so far has not signed any deal [6] . Two songs from Treading water have been leaked. Treading Water is one of the UK's most anticipated albums.
On Stylah's next album Down To Earth he will be working with VIIth Century Records who he has worked on with Palestine: The Album [7].
This quote shows confirmation of the project:
VIIth Century Records sign UK Hip Hop's most wanted mc Stylah. The album will be very different from Stylah's previous projects. For this project under the VIIth Century banner, and working very closely with Blakstone, this prolific lyrcist and wordsmith will deliver a potent political rendition of the issues close to his heart. Scheduled for release October 2006 [[8]]
Stylah is also due to feature on London rapper Victory's debut album Warrior Scholar.
[9] This shows that he has been on a radio broadcast for more than half an hour, thus deeming him worthy of a wikipedia page.
