Styles P & DJ Green Lantern hit up Hot 97 for a sit down with Angie Martinez. They discuss the their collaboration on The Green Ghost Project along with various other topics. If you missed it, you can listen here. The Green Ghost Project in stores now.
On the eve of the release of Styles P’s latest album, The Green Ghost Project - a collaboration with DJ Green Lantern - Styles P and DJ Green Lantern invaded the Highline Ballroom in New York City. The show was headlined by none other than Styles himself. Also performing was Sean Price, along with special guests Jadakiss, Sheek Louch, Pharoahe Monch, and Consequence. The Green Ghost Project is out now.
Going down tonight at the Highline Ballroom, Styles P, performing tracks from his new album. The Green Ghost Project drops tommorrow. Also taking the stage tonight, Sean Price and Skyzoo.
“The Evil Genius” DJ Green Lantern, and Styles P “The Ghost” have joined forces to create a monster – “The Green Ghost Project” – and on Nov 17th the world will say “It’s Alive!!!”
“The Green Ghost Project”, a joint album filled with original production from DJ Green Lantern, Alchemist, Scram Jones, Statik Selektah, etc., can be seen as the next natural step for the two mixtape veterans who constantly look to push the boundaries of how Hip Hop is given to the fans. “Styles and I got together and made a monster”, says Green of the project, which is being distributed through Invasion/The Orchard.
“Don’t call me ‘The Ghost’ right now, call me ‘The Green Ghost’”, remarks Styles P about the album’s sinister undertone. “It’s a different display of talent. We got together and brainstormed about it and it came out crazy!”
DJ Green Lantern and Styles also added some potent ingredients to the mix in the form of guest appearances from Jadakiss, Sheek Louch, M.O.P, N.O.R.E, Uncle Murda, Junior Reid, and more, taking “The Green Ghost Project” to truly “monstrous” proportions.
DJ Green Lantern announced on his Twitter today that dead prez’s “Summertime” video will be the New Joint of the Day on BET’s 106 and Park tonight, airing at 6:00 PM EST / 5:00 PM Central. The track is from their latest album, Pulse of the People, produced almost entirely by DJ Green Lantern. “Vote 4 real hip hop on BET!!!!” Green Tweeted.
