		Divine Styler is the Imam of West Coast hip-hop, preaching the gospel of love and self-awareness--a bona fide legend in hip-hop's underground.
		Divine Styler's first solo album, 1989's Wordpower, was a revolutionary document filled with meditations on spirituality, self-awareness, and empowerment.
		Divine continues to blur and attack the boundaries between the message of the beat, and the rhythm inside all meaning.

		Brooklyn-born MC Divine Styler was into hip-hop since “before it was called hip-hop, when it was just a way of life.” But, in 1984 Divine decides that it is time to get more serious with the beats and rhymes.
		Divine Styler makes an appearance alongside Rhyme Syndicate partner Ice T on the controversial Iceberg/Freedom of Speech album (Sire) for the track “What Ya Wanna Do?” Everyone is still waiting for more Divine product.
		Divine Styler introduces the world to his protégés, Styles Of Beyond, with a guest appearance on their Killer Instinct twelve-inch and spends his own money to travel to London and Toronto, ON to headline the In Search Of one-year anniversary.

	Ink 19 :: Divine Styler
		The Left Coast's own "Jimi Hendrix of hip-hop," Divine Styler, has been a dark, omnipresent force in urban music since he released his incredibly abstract and psychedelic classic Wordpower in 1989.
		This album really brings out Divine Styler's abstracted, futuristic, approach to hip-hop that has made him stand apart from the rest of the rap world.
		Divine Styler's rhymes are on point, and as dark and spaced-out as ever.

	Eye Weekly - Divine intervention - 08.17.00
		Once a member of Ice-T's Rhyme Syndicate, Divine Styler is an astonishing wordsmith whose classic debut, Word Power, was so potent, it forced Fritz and his pals to drop everything (i.e., the 40s of St. Ides they were holding) and start a zine with the specific aim of finding the legend.
		A while later, Divine Styler's ex-wife's new husband (got that?) picked up a copy of the mag and showed it to her, and she phoned Fritz, then cashless in Toronto.
		Not only was In Search of Divine Styler the catalyst for Divine to return to rap (his Word Power 2: Directrix dropped in '98), but it also gave exposure to underground gems like Medusa and Aceyalone.

	Uppity Music: Divine Styler: Spiral Walls Containing Autumns of Light (1992)
		Divine Styler kicks it super-old school, kinda, with the drums-and-space of “Euphoric Rangers” then stays in outer space with “Aura” where he raps over the sounds of a malfunctioning alien probe ship.
		Divine Styler lost his production deal, his record label and eventually his freedom (if not also his tether to the material world).
		Divine Styler's "Autumn: album is one of my favorites of all time.

	Ned's Nineties: 132
		I forget the combo the Divine Styler was originally a part of, if indeed he was part of one at all, but it got him to an initial level of attention, associated with such radical hip-hoppers as X-Clan and other, deeply and openly Muslim artists.
		Maybe Azoff was expecting the next MC Hammer or something, but what he got is one of the most screwy, fascinating, unexpected releases in years.
		It’s why the Styler has a crack musical team supporting him, even when you check the credits and realize he did most of the almost on his own, a one-man band who picks and chooses when to incorporate the outside touch at his call.

		Arguably the most undeservedly ignored hip-hop release of the early '90s, Spiral Walls is a mind-blowing, astonishing album that glitters like a dark jewel, equally nightmarish and astonishingly beautiful.
		Regardless of the work Styler did before or since, here he completely resisted categorization throughout -- and even more amazingly, he did so on a disc released via a major label, thanks to über-manager Irving Azoff's Giant Records.
		As for what Styler has to say, it can be everything from over-the-top raging alienation, as on the harrowing "Love, Lies and Lifetimes' Cries," to evocative, heartfelt praise and love for Allah.

		Long a phantom of the underground hip-hop scene, Divine Styler has been met with extreme anticipation upon his return.
		Yet where others are didactic, the Styler speaks of conviction without alienating rap's core audience--he still sounds as raw and insightful as he did in years past.
		The album opens with "Al-Ahdan," an Islamic prayer; a later track, "Hajji," relates the tale of Styler's own haj, the pilgrimage to Mecca that is a cornerstone of the Islamic faith.

	: [UA Journal review]
		Divine Styler obsessives may know the history behind the man's recording career (there's actually a newsletter named after him in Canada).
		In 1992 Styler moved to Giant/Reprise/Warner Bros. His release was another obscure one, considering the major label status.
		Styler is back in the game preparing for the release of his third release.

	House of Pain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Like Cypress Hill, who, with House of Pain, were a part of the loosely-affiliated Soul Assassins posse, they found urban radio airplay an increasingly closed path, which affected album sales.
		House of Pain abruptly broke up in 1996 during the release of their third album, Truth Crushed To Earth Shall Rise Again, which featured guest appearances by Brand Nubian's Sadat X, as well as rappers Guru, Divine Styler and Cockni O'Dire.
		On the release date of their final album, House of Pain was disbanded when Everlast announced his leave during a show that night.

		Then, for the better part of the decade, he worked behind the scenes, producing, mixing, and guesting on various West Coast artists' joints, including Swollen Members' debut.
		"Make it Plain," an inspiring blend of late '90s rap with early '70s Stevie Wonder-style funky soul that revisits the Islam-inspired spirituality of Divine Styler's '93 single "Grey Matter," is taken from the No Mayo compilation The Funky Precedent.
		The track also appears on Divine Styler's 1999 solo LP Word Power 2 on Mo' Wax.

		Styler's hands, and inspire him to record and release music again.
		The magazine title also reflected the content of the magazine, representing all of the creative, inspired, forward-thinking, and ultimately slept-on artists in the rising independent underground hip-hop scene of the mid- to late-'90s.
		This is the story of Divine Styler Magazine, told by its creator, with contributions from many of the people who were somehow involved or affected by it.

	Slanguistics: Word Power (Seattle Weekly)
		Since the mid-'80s, Divine Styler's been on a wild ride that epitomizes, perhaps more than the experiences of any artist, rap's trials during those tumultuous years.
		By the time of his second album, Divine was eminently less concerned with conventional hip-hop excellence than with the expansion of his own mind, and he made Spiral Walls a bizarre testament to the powers of religion over tracks that mixed Hendrix-esque guitars with atmospheric dub.
		Rumor has it that Divine was completely clean—of drugs and crime—when he made Spiral Walls, but his verse is so dense, his music so obscure, that it's almost impossible to imagine anyone sober making it.

		Ryu: Actually Divine Styler and Everlast used to live over at Tak’s house because his older brother Bilal used to produce Divine, Def Jef and Everlast.
		They’re friends with Fritz the Cat (from In Search of Divine Styler Magazine and Vice) so he was in search of Divine and he looked through the phone book and found him.
		So Divine Styler asked if he could bring his boys.

		Except for some write-ups on a few blogs and copies floating around on Ebay, most people have forgotten about Divine Styler's debut album, fully produced by Bilal Bashir and his Scheme Team.
		Divine Styler soldiered in Ice-T's Rhyme Syndicate and somehow remained in the shadow of other crew members Donald D, Everlast, Low Profle and chief in executive operations, Ice-T himself.
		The up-tempo, James Brown-ressonating 'Get Up On It', the cool vibes of 'It's A Black Thing', the crazy and versatile 'Koxistin Dazi' and the hardcore 'Tongue Of Labyrinth' perfectly hold their strength even without Divine Styler rhyming on it.
