  • Legendary producer DJ Premier and Detroit rapper Royce Da 5’9” returned this month with the release of ‘PRhyme 2,’ their second album under their duo moniker PRhyme. It’s the group’s first new material to surface since their self-titled debut in 2014, which received critical acclaim.
    ‘PRhyme 2’ was created around samples from producer AntMan Wonder’s catalog, and includes numerous features from artists like 2 Chainz, and CeeLo Green. One standout track that puts the longtime friends front and center is “Rock It.”
    For the track, Premiere samples A Tribe Called Quest’s 1992 hit “Scenario.” It also interpolates Tribe’s song “Can I Kick It?” and JAY-Zs “Heart of the City (Ain’t No Love).” In an interview with Genius, Premiere explains that everything he creates is based on experimentation and that they approached “Rock It” with a live performance mentality.
    Royce added that he wanted to pay homage and respect to old hip-hop tracks in the lyrics, something he says that modern rappers are afraid to do.

    Premo sounds like he ain't cleared his throat since 1992

    I feel like Royce and Black Thought are two of the most underrated lyricists out there. PRhyme 2 is amazing btw

      Revem Beats I'll have to disagree every lyricists study Royce and Thought and young blood like Dave East or Logic never miss an occasion to shout them out, now in terms of overall hip hop yea they're clearly underrated

      @bobbydee30g Před 6 lety

      Yup Pharoahe Monch is in the same boat. To me those three men are national treasures. They should be getting the same kind of respect Common gets. hmmmm Now that would be a hell of a super group.

    • @darkskinwhite
      @darkskinwhite Před 6 lety

      why bring up black thought on PRhymes video? go ahead and name every other artist you feel is underrated then because theyre all irrelevant to this video. let the man have some shine, damn. tired of yall.
