Bio

O.G. Style is not just your average rapper, he's known for his unique voice and clear form of speech. "I feel like I be saying some shit, so I want people to feel me!" He's been on the scene since 1986 when his first song was played on a college radio station in Houston. MC battles in high school and grabbing the mic at neighbor hood parties would gain him respect from the other rappers. He later went on to make a guest appearance on then local artist Jazzie Redd's single "Top Secret". In 1989 O.G. Style, then known as Prince Ezzy-E, while working on a demo at a studio in Houston, met the mother of famed Dirty South producer D.J. Boss. Prince Ezzy-E was in dire need of beats and D.J. Boss was in dire need of someone who could bless his funky beats, so his mom suggested they meet. The two worked vigorously to create a sound like no other and, indeed they did.

Prince Ezzy-E then changed his name to Original E and he and Boss formed the group O.G. Style. Original E later got together with long time friend Carlos Garza and went through his break beats while chillin' one night with Gangstar's DJ Premier in Houston. While left alone to play with the SP-12, Original E hooked up a break beat combination that would change their lives as artist forever! The song, "Catch'em Slippin" written as a dis to Rap-a-Lot records recording artist Raheem was the result, which became a Houston banger. It caught the attention of some of Boss's friends who agreed to press the record. Later Rap-a-Lot got wind of the song and the group was signed.

In 1991, the group released the album entitled "I Know How To Play'em!" The album featured the songs "Catch'em Slippin", "Playin' It Cool" and the hilariously funny "Free World", known to most by the catchy hook "Sittin' in the Harris County Jail'. "Free World" also appeared on the Convicts album as an intro to the lead single. Nevertheless it was official O.G. Style would be known as Houston legends. Entering Billboard at 68 with a bullet with no promotions was a kick for the group. They literally set the trend for the rap scene in Houston for non-gangsta rappers. But to no avail, the group split with Boss forming the group 4-Deep and the Original E retaining the name O.G. Style and venturing into radio. The Houston rap scene would take a severe blow!

10 years later and back with a cocky street savvy attitude O.G. Style returns (solo artist) with a new label, Zone Entertainment, in which he is co-owner. Laced with production by O.G. Style and the well-respected Mike B, producer of all three Big Mike albums, once again it's on! 12 brand new tracks, 14 if you count the two bonus screwed versions of 2 hot joints on the album. The album, entitled "I Still Know How To Play'em!", vows to thrust the incredible mic wrecker back on the scene in a command sort of way! The album, filled with truth and real life ordeals, sounds like one greatly narrated movie and has a host of guest appearances by vets like Jazzie Redd and Koo Rod of (4-Deep) and cagey rap veterans Ice Ike and Fortune. The album also teams O.G. Style and Big Boss for a reunion that's long overdue!
