Status The Marlboro Man, Krookid Hooks & El Da Sensei – Too Many Styles [Audio]
Status The Marlboro Man, Krookid Hooks, and El Da Sensei team up for dope new track, titled “Too Many Styles”.
This collaboration blossomed from a casual conversation about hip-hop culture at a Denver, Colorado venue. The track has quickly become an underground, cult classic, a boombap banger that truly celebrates the vast range and diverse approaches within hip-hop music. It highlights how different styles, from raw street narratives to vibrant graffiti art, converge in the shared space of hip-hop.
Status handled the production for “Too Many Styles”, crafting the beat on an Akai MPC with traditional breakbeat drums and classic horns. An old-school news anchor loop serves as a nostalgic nod to hip-hop’s early days. El Da Sensei contributes his signature smooth, effortless New Jersey flow, while Status delivers a gruff, sarcastic style that pays homage to hip-hop’s influence on lyricism. Hooks rounds out the track with punchline-heavy, battle-ready rhymes. Together, these three emcees have forged a modern-tinged hip-hop classic.
