Royce da 5'9" has worked with plenty of famous rappers in the past — Eminem, Diddy, Dr. Dre, Crooked I and Joe Budden to name a few — but he said his new project with DJ Premier for which he has released the tracklist and cover art, PRhyme, stacks up with all the rest.
"Yo, there's never been anything more organic in my career besides Slaughterhouse and Bad Meets Evil," he told XXL last month.
That project will be out Dec. 9, but Royce released the tracklist and artwork today, Oct. 14.
Here's the tracklist for PRhyme, via XXL:
1. PRHYME
2. Dat Sound Good (ft. Mac Miller & Ab Soul)
3. U Looz
4. You Should Know (ft. Dwele)
5. Courtesy
6. Wishin' (ft. Common)
7. To Me, To U (ft. Jay Electronica)
8. Underground Kings (ft. Killer Mike & Schoolboy Q)
9. Microphone Preem (ft. Slaughterhouse)
And peep the cover art:
Royce is also going to be featured as part of the Shady XV release this fall, but he was not exactly in the loop last month.
"I don't know much about it," Royce said. "The way that they roll things out over there, they kind of keep everything kinda tight-lipped. They're a lot like Apple over there. I know that there's a piece of work that they're putting out, they're calling it a compilation and there's gonna be music that was released before to commemorate that first release, and then there's gonna be new music. That's all I know."
One of the discs will be a greatest hits release chronicling the 15-year history of the label, which produced hits such as 50 Cent's Get Rich or Die Tryin' and Eminem's "Lose Yourself." The other will be new material from the label's roster of rap artists.
"Yes, I have been working with Em," Royce said. "There's gonna be a wide mixture. I think everything is supposed to tie in to exactly what the label embodies, which is Slaughterhouse, Yelawolf, Bad Meets Evil, D12 and I think that's it."
