Ryan Montgomery, born and raised on the West Side of Detroit, Michigan in the W. McNichols & Wyoming Ave. area, moved to Oak Park, Michigan when he was 10 years old, later acquiring the nickname "Royce" during highschool after wearing a Turkish link chain with an R pendant resembling the Rolls Royce symbol. He began rapping at 18, influenced mainly by Ras Kass and Redman. He signed his first deal in 1998 with Tommy Boy Records, after Tommy Boy Records shut down, he signed a deal with Columbia Records where he started recording an album called Rock City, referring to Detroit's former status as home to Motown Records. When the project was heavily bootlegged, Royce left the label for Koch Records to re-record some of the album, eventually releasing it in 2002 as Rock City (Version 2.0). While the album didn't sell very well, the DJ Premier-produced single "Boom" gained 5'9" some underground recognition and eventually resulted in the two working together more closely.
Through his manager, Royce was introduced to Eminem at a show in 1997, and the two formed a working relationship; they formed up as a duo, Bad Meets Evil, and released several tracks together. Royce appeared on Eminem's debut studio album The Slim Shady LP, in which he was featured on a song called "Bad Meets Evil". Royce and Eminem also released a track called "Renegades", from which Royce's vocals would later be replaced with Jay-Z's on the latter's The Blueprint. Through Eminem, Royce would also be introduced to both Dr. Dre and execs at Game Recordings. After his manager revealed that Royce was involved in writing the tracks "The Message" and an original version of "Xxplosive" for Dre's 2001 (entitled "Way I Be Pimping"), Dre requested that Royce cut ties with his manager. Royce refused to fire his manager and his relationship with Dre ended.
2003 saw Royce link up more fully with Game Recordings. Earlier, he had recorded several tracks for the soundtrack of the video game Grand Theft Auto III, released in 2001. The in-game radio station, Game Radio FM, prominently featured Royce's "I'm The King", an Alchemist-produced solo track that (along with the publicized beef) helped elevate Royce's name beyond his association with Eminem. In 2004, he released his second and most critically successful album to date, Death is Certain, charting with another Premier-produced single, "Hip-Hop". Though many perceived it to be a dark and depressing album due to his alleged alcoholism and severed friendships, Royce has maintained it was simply his anger and passion showing through.
After the relative success of his sophomore effort, the MC put out a third solo project, Independent's Day, in 2005. This was met with less acclaim than either of his previous releases. During this time, the rivalry between Royce and former friend Proof reached a boiling point in the streets of Detroit, on an occasion where the two rappers drew guns; they were subsequently arrested, and left to work out their differences while spending the night in neighboring cells in jail. Though the MC had planned other projects involving Nottz and his former crew, D-Elite, these were cut short after a sentencing to one year in prison for a DUI.

+The Answer How you take grammer
Varial Hypo grammar*
The Answer gremmer
One of the greatest hip hop tracks of all time. 🔥
No question
Unbelievable song. Makes me proud of REAL HIP HOP.
This beat is disgusting, Premo just never disappoints.
Lol...yeah man....impossible to disappoint...perfect beats al the time....he's a legend!
Facts especially the cuts!
LoyalLFC and he will never gon disappoint nobody never hear a premo good beat cause all of them are the best beats ever made premo is the shit son
Never ever does he
Another beat from premo I've heard that is as nasty is Defeat by Afurah "sick".
Yo, he said "90 percent of you rappers ain't hard, here just to get a rep, your not gangstarrs", STRAIGHT FiRe!🔥🔥🔥🔥, Who else caught the double meaning?
I did lol
Also the Kung fu like afura
Every Ganstarr fan
This is a hieroglyphic lecture
It shouldn't be allowed to dislike this song on youtube!
😆💯
Premier's the shit.....
DJ Premier has produced an awsome beat.
Easily one of the dopest tracks in hip-hop history. This shit should be on everybody's top 10/20 for sure. Royce is such a fukkin' beast. When this dude goes hard, he's almost untouchable.
Re-wrote Histoy with every verse cuz
I remember being glued th the tv waiting on this to come on Rap City
I remember being 16 today glued to my phone looking this up on RUclips
Facts it was this song and pitch black it’s all real 03-04 good times
💯
Royce is underrated as Fuck. Just give him a beat and he'll jump on it
One of the coldest tracks ever created! Primo and Royce are a great collaboration!!
Prolly no pair better
In some shots Royce really looks like Guru.
2004... My mom heard me bumping this and she began playing it more than me ever since
2004 video looks like 1998 sounds like 1993
Word, got that REAL SOUL🔥🔥✊✊
Still dope
*2021
That's DJ premiere for you
You're all wrong this is 2000's in so many ways
its almost impossible to fuck up on a primo beat
word
eton900 lmao yo it's to good every song you play
Riff Raff would find a way
This dude laced it tho, ain't much better out there
Because the beat is tailor-made not a basic beat
Man I swear Royce is the illest in the D.
Agree, dude is crazy towards his bars, he got it lock down. Have you heard Prhyme ? A full album collab of him and Premier? That alone speaks for itself.
I see, then your probably gonna be satisfied by it.
Dynamic Samurai Prhyme still on repeat since release! Didn't even hear any Christmas tunes at my crib.
Tim Robison i feel ya, haven't heard a LP like Prhyme in a long timee ! Its always refreshing start to finish. Always going to stay in my playlist.
+Kevin Staysshredded I luv proof and he was an MC and a poet but royce is da better MC. Royce,eminem and elzhi are the best to do it from detroit
"Egg in the skillet brain nigga, this is you" lmao haha Royce got the funkiest punchlines.
Premier is the GOAT when it comes to minimal hip hop. To think about the sound that comes from just a few samples and a drum track. The king of the floppy 📀
Love how Preemo didn’t conform to the way they make beats nowadays
Agree bro
Facts
It’s because he’s been in the game since the very beginning
Word, respect to premo✊✊👍.
They just took this off spotify and its killing me
Pain.
Full album gone. Disgraceful.
I downloaded the mp3 off youtube and added it on spotify through local files. If you download your playlists, you can get it on your phone aswell!
Yeah, sucks. All the licensing bs is really tiring… it’s still off on Spotify
@@pathfinder375 really that's awesome I need to try it
Sick beat. Dj Premier is a Legendary Producer.
Most essentially
'I KNOW MY STREETS .. I KNOW MY SOUND .. YALL KNOW MY BEATS .. HOW I GET DOWN .. I TAKE MY STEPS .. IN LEAPS & BOUNDS' .. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 .. #REALHIPHOP #HIPHOPLEGENDSONLY

Facts@@SDSOverfiend
This fucking beat is crazy. Dj premeir bestof all time.
I take my steps in leaps and bounds
Royce Da 5'9"was interviewed for the book series *HOW TO RAP* and *HOW TO RAP2* , and shared his rapping techniques. Here he talks about flow.
"Jay-Z’s track] “Money, Cash, Hoes”-the song ain’t really
about nothing, really he’s just rhyming. But the thing that
catches your ear is that flow-it’s the way he rides the beat
that makes me like the song."
One of the best hip hop beats of all time. Great song too
Love this beat, Common sample is the shitttttt
fire
90% of kids today who hear this are like "who's Afu-Ra?"
99.9%
Dino_ Jusufovic_221 so ur not a kid then r u?
lol
born in 94 and listen to him do i get a complimentary bj
True that, Defeat by Afu Rah is sick.
Now that I'm older I understand and appreciate the hell out of this song 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Classic premier beat 🔥
DJ Premier Iz Real Legend
I love everything prem does. His beats are the most classic thing out there.
This is the song that made me become a hip hop song. This song changed my life.
My favorite Royce song 💯
That last verse goes so hard
still bumping in 2016 sick
Diego Padilla 2018 still banging Time Traveling and shit
Still bumping royce and big proof
Most tallentest rapper are the most underrated ones, i dont know why.
Has Türk industry
This is the song that made me want to write rhymes, to produce, and engendered the love of the *art* of hip-hop in my soul. I might be a whiteboy from the burbs, but I feel this shit *SO* deeply, and I LIVE THIS SHIT! Like Twista said "art in life". Peace to all the supporters of the *TRUE* art we call Hip Hop. 1LOVE east west north south, abroad, it don't matter. Get it in, produce art, and change the way people *THINK*!
corny lmao
+Davon85J Thank you!! it's the hate that fuels me to work harder at my goals, and i really am thanking you, nor just being sarcastic. And it might be corny but idgaf, thats how I feel when I listen to this track, shit..
Even cornier.... LMAO
DJ Premier and DJ Abilities are hands down two of the best DJ's in the industry, period. It's crazy to think (almost kind I weird actually) that both of their original emcees (Eyedea from Eyedea and Abilities; Guru from Gangstarr for Premier) pass away from natural causes and way to early. I can't even imagine the amazing music those two groups could be/would be putting out right now if Eyedea and Guru were still alive and well today. I'm happy for Abilities and Premier though that they were able to continue their careers with incredible success and recognition! Well deserved for the two of them! RIP Eyedea RIP Guru.
Samurai Champloo soundtracks sent me this was somehow. Amazing
Best anime ever
Loved whenever they played this on 106 back in ‘04. Even heard it on the radio on 98.7 The Beat in Charleston, WV.
Forever a banger 🔥🔥🔥💯.. Classic
And Premo turns 50. What a time to be alive.
1:30 ... fav lines
me too!
2020 South Africa BUMPIN'!
Nasty.....still bumpin in 2018 to the future
20 years later & still Banging!!
👍🏿
First hip hop track I ever heard....makes me feel a type of way after not hearing it for so long
where the fuck have u been???
Thats crazy!!! To me.... But man glad if thats true, that you were put on to this early.
I hope you were like 5 years old then.
Detroit's Finest 🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️
1 of the best tracks of hip hop EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
i get chilllz everytime I listen to this song for real XD
and im pretty sure this should be under another category "EDUCATION" for these younginz ahah
Generule Maximus me to
Wow! I miss this kinda shit
Can't believe it's been 9 years since this joint first dropped! #VintageRoyce
This is my first time listening to it. Best moment of the day.
This is real lyricism…
I remember coming home from high school and putting Rap City and this song would be on. Golden
Eduardo Rodriguez this record wasn’t on Rap City lol this is of Death is Certain
Eduardo Rodriguez oh shit mah bad you were referring to the rap city show lol 😅😂😂
Classic!
The Beat us Scary to listen too, gives sleepless nights
whole album is classic and extremely underrated!! maybe his best top to bottom..
this flow is unreal, big respect
Underrated man. This is pure art. Royce is the only one that has outshined Eminem on a track and the flow he spits daamn.
i remember this hit but had to revisit after today's LUPE and ROYCE and TOM podcast
Hiphop is alive! it lost some weight but times are gettin' better with tracks like this
Timeless 🔥🔥🔥🔥Premier&5""9
thinking of samurai champloo when listening to this
The Culture intensifies. R.I.P Nujabes
The name says it all "Hip Hop"
From France: this sound is very maaaaaad! Primo for life
Man tbh I wished he never signed back to Shady, Royce was the best in the game in Em's absence. I had Death Is Certain in the ride for almost a year straight
The only Royce album i ever copped was Death Is Certain off this joint alone and it was worth it. This song alone is better then most rappers whole catalogues this is the reasons I love Hip Hop
Death is certain is my favourite album front to back. Own the vinyl. A classic
Still banger 🔥🔥🔥
royce’s flow has always been so crazy…and what’s even crazier is his rhyme scheme just keeps advancing and getting more complex as he gets older
Royce dropping bars, Premo blessing our ears
Fantastic track! 👌🏼
One of the Greatest Production of the Hip Hop genre!
One of the Greatest Hip-Hop anthem..!!
2020 and I am still here. Nothing like Royce and Prem.
Primo on the beat right ??? Man that NYC sound😍
Detroit too bro!!
Ain't Primo from Texas?
@@yadadameen he is, but he learned pretty much all he knows about producing in New York
I love this. The taste of home
Still one of my all time favorite Royce tracks. Remember bumping this shit in highschool.
The most underrated rapper of all time 🔥
preemo for prez,true legend!!!
This song is 15th on my greastest raps ever :D thats pretty good
Royce don't age. Real Hip-hop pioneer.
One of the coldest MC's of all time
Ooooh i remember this classic !
OlDbOy yes man this and legends like makaveli the don
