Royce Da 5’9
Album : Independent’s Day
Release Date : June 28th 2005
Label : Make It Count Records

It’s time to declare your independence. While most Hip-Hop artists continue to rely on major labels and industry politics, Detroit-bred MC Royce Da 5’9” answers only to himself. After his 2002 Sony debut Rock City, and his 2004 sophomore album Death Is Certain sold close to 200,000 copies combined, Royce started off the new year by taking control of his music’s destiny.

On the heels of his critically acclaimed M.I.C. Official Mixtape, released last October, he drops his third studio album, Independent’s Day, featuring production from Carlos “6 July” Broady and Nottz (two of the finest in hard-core Hip-Hop).

Blowing up record stores on June 28th, this album will be celebrated by those with a genuine appreciation for high quality Hip-Hop. Raising the bar for fellow emcees, songs such as “Politics” featuring Cee-lo Green , and “I Owe U” showcase Royce’s phenomenal songwriting skills, while “Wet My Whistle” featuring Sara Stokes of MTV’s Making The Band 2 (Bad Boy), is sure to shake the radio waves in Detroit and beyond.

Blazin’ again..lost for words, real street music with no manufactured singing hooks, and if is singing, it hasn’t been heard before. He earned my 8-9-10 dollas.

Well the truth of the matter is, or in my opinion to speak that Royce, Ryan, whatever you want to call him has surpassed the point of music. To me he is the most unique in a different way because, many, many rappers have common or certain styles, but those styles as rapper can be imitated and are not hard to gain that mind state of......but in royce’s songs, to me his mind state is so unusual, and those lyrics are one of a kind and can’t be imitated as compared to those of others, and some might denie when I say this but he is trully the best........but that’s just my opinion ya know.....

This is one of the coldest albums out right now ! His flow is official ! I can’t name another rapper on his level right now. Lay It Down, Blow dat, and Fuck My Brains Out official club bangers period.

You know it, dude. Royce da 5’9" is the sickest lyricist in the game, and everybody should own at least one of his cd’s. Independent’s day hasnt left my cd player since i got it, about a week ago, and i cant wait till he makes it big.

Royce da 5’9" is head and shoulders above anyone else commin out right now. He has the best flow, unique and creative ; and he has lyrics are ridiculous. Anyone who isn’t up on him right now needs to make a point of it. He is the King of detroit.
