I'm not sure how involved he is with the project but he did post a picture of him DJ Premier & Royce in the studio:



On the self-titled album, PRhyme will have all its production by Premier, as well as all the samples will be taken from Adrian Younge.

“I’ve never sampled just one artist, I’m known for my reputation and my creativity,” says Premier. “I wanted it to be my traditional thing where I sample everything I find, but I am really proud how the project came out and Royce is one hell of a pusher.”

Although the legendary producer was skeptical of the idea at first, Royce convinced him that’ll be a special project that’ll make hip-hop history. “I started going through Adrian’s catalog and it was just making me a fan of his,” Royce says. “It was really inspiring me to want to make music. As Premier started sending me music and I started writing, it was falling into place. It was making me excited about going into the studio.”

What can you tell me about the PRhyme project with DJ Premier?
[Premier] had this drive just full of all Adrian Younge’s catalog. So it was like, I had the music in my possession, he had the music in his possession, and we were both… I would be listening to this shyt in Detroit and he would be listening to it in New York.

I’m not gonna lie; I came late to the Adrian Younge party. I pulled up to the Adrian Younge party—and this goes back to what we were just talkin’ about with the battle rap shyt—I showed up to the Adrian Younge party when the Jay Z album [Magna Carta... Holy Grail] came out. Guilty. Guilty, you know what I’m sayin’? But, once I heard the hype on him, and I heard the “Picasso” song and I heard the “Heaven” song on the Magna Carta album, I was like, “Who the fukk?” And then I listened to the Something About April album, right? So I’m like, this dude is fukkin’ crazy. So when I found out he scored and edited the Black Dynamite movie—which is one of my favorite movies of all time—that movie is so underrated, bro. When I put all of that stuff together, I was just like, yo, it was meant for me to work with this guy. So it made me more excited about it.

Yep.

Adrian Younge/D'Angelo
Adrian Younge/Willie Da Kid
Adrian Younge/Oddisee Co-production collabo would be just sick
