DJ Premier and Royce 5’9″ are about to hit the road in support of their critically acclaimed PRhyme 2 album that kicks off on May 30th in Philly and wraps on June 15th in Los Angeles.
“I look forward to getting back on the road and touring the country with Preem as PRhyme” Royce asserted. “We had so much fun making this album and having the ability to share our vision with the world via our one of a kind live show is a great reward.” Further, DJ Premier added “PRhyme 2 brings another chapter of a unique union of what me and Royce present when we form our legacies together as PRhyme. It’s only right to double up both projects and light the fuse.”
You can also pre-order the PRhyme 2 instrumentals here.

HERE IS THE PLAYLIST FOR MARCH 30th.
In celebration of the 20th anniversary of Gang Starr’s Moment of Truth album, DJ Premier sat down with Billboard to offer some behind the scenes stories to many of the album’s standout tracks. Here are a few choice quotes from that interview.
On “Militia” (Feat. Big Shug & Freddie Foxx a.k.a. Bumpy Knuckles)…
I remember Bumpy Knuckles came in wearing all mink everything and said, “Yo, when I spit my verse, I gotta pull my guns out and aim them.” He was serious! I told him that I was going to duck in the event that those guns accidentally went off. He pulled out the twin glocks, spit his verse in one take and said, “I’ve got a meeting to go to” and left! He came in at 10am, pulled out his guns, kicked his verse and then said he hoped we did a video —which we did — and then was gone.
On “Moment of Truth”…
The day we went back after he beat the case was the day he wrote the song “Moment of Truth.” When I heard his lyrics, I remember how emotional it was. We were going through deaths around us. The passing of my accountant Mary Coleman who was the first person I shouted out on “In Memory of…” was particularly devastating for me. She was beyond my accountant. She was my mother away from home.
That song made me want to cry. I’m not really a crying type. But to hear those lyrics and knowing everything that he was going through at that time was very, very emotional. Today, I perform it with my band and every time I damn near fall apart, but in a good way. Like when James Brown would drop to his knees when he performed. I didn’t know what to expect until he did it.

We’re still in the middle of blasting PRhyme 2 at ignorant levels when Royce 5’9″ decides to cut loose the artwork and track listing for Book of Ryan. You’ll notice the collaboration with J. Cole (“Boblo Boat”) is featured on there but no other collaborations have been announced. Pre-orders start at midnight for the album that Royce has called his “greatest piece of work.”
