Do what I did...just blend it all into one beat tape 
. My shyt is all over the place from typical lo-fi to Vaporwave. Hell, Madlib started out with the most obscure beats known to existence, and he's damn near the GOAT.
I would just experiment and throw it all into one big mix to give heads the best and worst of all worlds.

I found myself lately just fukking with Boom Bap because that's what I love.
Square biz. I'm currently working on another mix with just freestyles and alcapellas over random beats that I created over the months. I'm legit having fun with this because music is supposed to be fun. Word to Mr Holland:

Find an artist and grow with them, It will help you develop an overall sound... think Timbo and Missy

Just keep making whatever comes naturally and then break them up into styles in multiple folders, no need to pigeon hole yourself, most professionals do this too. You can make some shyt and then sample it for another style and see what happens.
you only need to think about curating your style if you're selling your shyt and you wanna market ya self a certain way
it really shouldn't matter outside of that

You could try to define a vision for your work and aim towards it, or just keep on the path and let your own style come through naturally on its own. I think if you just keep creating whatever you feel like without worrying about it, over time, whether you're trying or not, your personal voice will come through regardless.
I think being versatile hurts emcees way more than producers because emcees need to be marketed.
I think everyone has given sound advice so I'll go left. Make 4 beats in a row with the same drums and make them sound different.
Fukk it? You say you're versatile right? Let's see

Hmm... my take on marketing might be outdated seeing how guys like Metro Boomin, Conductor Williams & Hit Boy benefit greatly from understanding out how to sell themselves. Black Milk suffers tremendously because he doesn't know how to market himself. So it depends on what you want out of this. But maybe everyone has to market in some way nowadays. It does help to establish a consistent vibe.
I do whatever I feel..
one day is boom bap another is trap then another will be house music and then lofi.

I would say, if you enjoy making different styles, and you're getting good feedback from rappers / friends, just keep going.
I suffer(ed) from this, also and I've been producing for 25 years.
I randomly made a "reggae" type joint just for fun, and this MC in Pasadena is gonna use it for his forthcoming album. You never know what people will enjoy.
