Hey, has anyone been paying attention to the leading singles from the forthcoming self titled debut album by
PRhyme (aka Royce da 5'9 and DJ Premier)?
A couple of songs are available on Spotify, and I must say the album sounds like it's going to be a fuckin' gem! Seriously. I mean, we've all come to expect great things from Premo, but I've never been particularly into Royce... Actually I've never been into him at all. Maybe that's why I'm so shocked to hear that these tracks are so good.
It's nothing particularly new or different sounding, but these two seem to just work well together. The songs are solid, sand I think the album is going to be a must own. Here's a really poorly written Wikipedia excerpt:
PRhyme is the upcoming eponymous studio album by American hip hop duo PRhyme, consisting of Royce da 5'9" and DJ Premier.[1] The album is scheduled to be released on December 9, 2014, through their own record label PRhyme Records.[2] The 9-track collection is set to feature guest appearances from rappers Killer Mike, Jay Electronica, Common, Ab-Soul, Schoolboy Q, Slaughterhouse, Mac Miller and soul singer Dwele.[3] PRhyme will have all its production by Premier, as well as all the samples will be taken from psychedelic soul composer and producer Adrian Younge.[4] The album was supported by the single "Courtesy".
Hear that? Adrian Younge, at it again.
So forget the association with Eminem. I know it's hard... His awfulness pollutes just about everything in its orbit. But this is a promising project, and look: when you look at the merged faces on this variant album cover, it looks like Forest Whittaker!
