## Lyrics and music

Sex Style has been described as polarizing due to its lyrical style, which Kool Keith described as pornocore. The music was primarily written by producer Kutmasta Kurt. The production is noted for its deep, funky beats. Sex Style is described as a loose concept album.

The lyrics make frequent reference to sexual intercourse, with Kool Keith variously portraying himself as characters ranging from pimps to perverts. Keith also uses sexual metaphors to diss other rappers, many of which involve urolagnia.
