O.G. Style is not just your average rapper, hes known for his unique voice and clear form of speech. I feel like I be saying some shyt, so I want people to feel me! Hes 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 Redds 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.



In 1991, the group released the album entitled I Know How To Playem! The album featured the songs Catchem 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 street savvy attitude O.G. Style returns (solo artist) with a new label, Hard Edge Entertainment along with Zone Entertainment, in which he is co-owner. O.G. Style returns with a new album produced by well-respected producer Mike B who has done production on all three Big Mike albums. With 16 brand new tracks on the album, entitled Return Of Da Game!, OG Style returns 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 Ra-Soul, Cynical Dialogue and Ice Ike from the Hip-Hop duo Third Eye. Its Official, The Streets Are Nervous!
