In an interview with Tush Magazine, Dice Ailes describes his style of music as "Afro-pop RnB". In his words:
I'm a pretty versatile artist. I don't have a specific genre. I started off rapping, then as I grew up it sort of just graduated to a lot of different stuff. So right now, I just do Afro-pop, RnB; you know what I'm saying, I just mix everything up.
