In 2002 Yemi Akinwonmi left the group unofficially and the musical band became a trio without adding a new member. Starting 2003, the group officially had its own record label, STYL-PLUS. On Thursday November 15, 2018, it was reported that Tunde Akinsanmi left the group in 2012 and adopted a new stage name "Tunde Tdot", leaving Shifi and Zeal who currently act as the flag bearers of the group.

Styl-Plus has been dubbed Africa's "Boyz II Men" due to their ability to deliver heartfelt emotional ballads.  The successful group of talented artists with their vocal harmonies, catchy tunes, melodies, R&B style, combined with meaningful and storytelling lyrics are a union between English and their native tongue Yoruba, spoken in Nigeria.

Releases: In late October 2003, under the old management (Joey & T-Jazz), they released two singles to radio stations. In February 2006, they released their highly anticipated 11 track debut album "Expressions".

Their singles "Olufunmi" and "Runaway" were amongst the most requested love songs on all the major Nigerian R&B radio stations between 2004 and 2005. "Imagine That" is the lead single from their official debut album, Expressions. It has also been a massive chart topper, and has been used in numerous shows, including the pioneer edition of Big Brother Nigeria.

Other songs like "Four Years" and " Iya Basira" were campus hits at the time of their release. Most graduating students still play "Four Years" at their send off party at various universities all over Nigeria.

Even though I was a very small boy that time, I loved their songs so much.

Nothing lasts forever. Enjoy your life, time and season while you can. No time for beef and unnecessary hatred and comparison.

It is well.

Damnnn niggar

Iyabasira was my favourite

Infact let me listen to their songs now on boomplay if I will see it there
Or audio mac

But the truth is that this style plus and whole lot of other old artists were not too good like too good

The reason we feel they were good is because of the nostalgia or rather nolstagic feelings it gives us now

When music was still clean, calming and made sense to the mind and society.

Now it's all about the love of money, materialism, drugs, hooliganism and girls of easy virtue
