hey why is this dropping right after PRhyme 2? Do y'all think that's a good strategy or should he let PRhyme breathe a little?

Should of let it breathe in my opinion, for me personally this just means I won't get the chance to absorb each album as much as I'd want too given I'll go back and forth between them.

It's dope to see there's only one feature, interested to see the production line up. Hopefully more Nottz and Alchemist.

Hopefully he brings out the big hitter producers on this album. Would like to see Just Blaze, Havoc, Alchemist, and a few other surprises.

Death Is Certain is his best album lyrically. He had a chip on his shoulder and lots to say. Sadly the production aged like asscheeks

Rock City 2.0 might be his best project IMO

Really ? I love the production on Death Is Certain. And on top of that, I feel it actually
invalidates the "Royce has not written a great album from beginning to end"
talk that's going on in this thread.

In my opinion Death Is Certain, Street Hop > Rock City 2.0

I'm the first to admit he has several weak albums but I genuinely feel that Death Is Certain
is a dope album, period and that if "Book Of Ryan" follows what he did on
"Trust the Shooter" and "Bar Exam 4", then there's a high chance it'll be one of his better albums.

Royce makes good to very good albums, please stop. Street Hop was nice to but that was my least listened to out of all those

That's the order I have those albums in too.

Death is Certain made me a fan. Since then he's been my favorite rapper. He felloff a bit at BE3 and maybe some of the slaughterhouse stuff around that time, but right now he's in his 2nd prime. The flow and voice changed a bit with BE4. Neither are as good as they once were, but lyrically he may never have been better. God level mc.
