Styles P. - Harsh
Artist: Styles P.
Featuring: Busta Rhymes , Rick Ross
Producer: Phonix
Album: Master of Ceremonies
Label: Nature Sounds
There’s only one word to properly describe the treatment that awaits those who run afoul of Styles P. and his crew: Harsh. If it’s any consolation, though, you can be sure the D-Block emcee will sound damn smooth while wrecking your sh*t. The latest single off Styles’ fourth solo set is all about contrast; while Phonix keeps it delicate and understated on the production tip, layering tinkling bell arpeggios and warm synth chords over a head-nodding break, the Ghost doesn’t take that as an invitation to walk on eggshells. Instead, he drops rhymes that are as “hostile [and] aggressive” in content as his delivery is nonchalant, throwing in an allusion to the “bathroom scene” from The Godfather to drive the point home. More contrast? You got it—guests Rick Ross and Busta Rhymes assist on the guest tip, the former bringing his trademark bluster on the middle, and the latter stealing the show with a display of untrammeled aggression on the back end. Time to weigh in, readers: does this cut go down like a spoonful of honey, or is it a little, well, Harsh? Those digging it should keep it locked for the latest on Master of Ceremonies, scheduled for a fall release by D-Block/eOne Music.

For a song entitled "Harsh" the production on display here couldn't be more polar opposite - and it works so well. All three emcees put on a show. Great overall vibe. I could see this getting added at a few urban stations - nice!

With the title I was expecting something more hard hitting or I guess harsh. When i think rap music at its purest i think this. Simple high hats/snares and simple bass and thumps over a lead string. Yeah I like.

I was thinking that this song would have a "harsh" production. But this song is dope. All the emcees did their thing which is great. Busta killed it of course but why is it that Busta can only be this crazy good on features but never his own work?

This beat is ill and all three of them went in on it... Styles and Busta been in the game forever and still drop bars... These young cats can learn a thing or two from them.

Man this is so fresh, Busta went straight into this one! Classic material from Styles imo. I could bang this for ages on end. Even Ross was good.

I like it but the hook is weak & the beat could've been harder
