The Detroit Legend Gets Deep

In March 2020, Royce pulled through to “Drink Champs” to dish on everything from his eight years of sobriety and the Motown rap scene to his close-knit Eminem bond.

Wait, There’s More

Despite not being on the tracklist of Nickel Nine’s brand new The Allegory album that dropped earlier in the year, Eminem makes a surprise appearance about two-thirds of the way through the audio gem. On the record “Perspective (Skit),” he speaks about hip-hop and racism for nearly two minutes.

Before You Go

Last week, Royce went super throwback mode. He shared a vintage pic of himself hanging out with his longtime pal Em and Dr. Dre but getting mistaken for West Coast legend Ice Cube. The Motown rap artist hit up Instagram with the must-see shot. In the pic’s caption, Royce da 5’9 is mistaken as the legendary Cube.
