  • There are very few artists in the game that have consistently exhibited the transparency and skill that Royce Da 5’9 has since he entered rap. Between his relationship with Eminem, DJ Premier and Slaughterhouse he has set the bar(s) high for anybody even thinking about bringing less than A+ lyrics to the table. That transparency continues to this very day and is what makes him a true artist by definition.

      Very dope, that sketchbook got him away from people that held him down 'binders' as in binding someone from movement, this dude thinks hard in his writing.

    Royce is one of the greatest rappers of all time hands down. Definitely one of my inspirations as an emcee so I can't wait for this album.

    Royce da 5'9" is pure uncut raw talent. One of the most complex lyricists ever; his metaphors and punchlines are top tier. Top 10 list all day. Layers was ill. Can't wait for PRhyme 2 and Bad Meets Evil 2.
