Royce da 5’9

Royce Da 5’9” - Thou Shall (Vevo Ctrl) Royce Da 5’ 9” doesn’t take heat from anyone without giving it back. The veteran Detroit MC has made a career as a battle rapper. But he also knows how put together some killer albums. 2003’s ’Build and Destroy’ is a key part of the Motor City’s early-00s hip-hop contributions. And he’s been acknowledged by the best in the game. Detroit dudes Royce and Eminem frequently hop on each others tracks - check “Caterpillar” for some recent heat. When he hit the Ctrl studio, Royce treated us to tracks from his new album, ’The Allegory.’ In stark contrast to the romantic sounds pulled from an ancient track by The Lintons, he calls out beefs and preaches moral blessings in “Overcomer.” And “Thou Shall” is a proud pronouncement of strength - so confident, Royce brings out his brother, rapper Kid Vishis, to close the performance. Good stuff all around.
