i havent listened to a full royce project since probably the Bar Exam tapes... maybe Slaughterhouse and PRhyme (the first tape)... should I check this out, Book of Ryan and the second PRhyme tape?

Ran through this 3 times. As much as I loved PRhyme 1 and Book of Ryan, this by far is his best album. It has bars with content, wordplay, and layers. In addition he produced the entire album, which was great. I expect this album to be in my top 5 by the end of the year.

s***s hard as bricks

Imma have to give this another listen. First listen wasn't really a big fan. I like Royce enough though to give it another shot

Still in your top 5? It’s top 20 for me, really great album

Yup, my fifth favorite rap album this year

I’ve got it at around 11, great album though. Awesome year for non mainstream rap
