With his just announced new solo album Layers on track for an April 15th release, Royce Da 5’9 drops off the project’s first official single, the autobiographical “Tabernacle.” The track is great, but he gets extra points that Sean P reference. Layers will feature guest appearances from Pusha T and Rick Ross, plus production from Jake One, DJ Khalil, Nottz, S1 and executive producer Mr. Porter.
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.
