After a flurry of label drama and release date delays on his sophomore studio album, Time Is Money, Styles P returns right quick with the aptly titled Independence. This mixtape sees the ghost blazing 12 exclusive collabo cuts and throwing more than a couple of shots at 50 Cent along the way -- most notably, carrying an extended metaphor over Outkast's "Ms. Jackson" beat. Lupe Fiasco, Mitchy Slick, and others are featured.
