In the interview he chops it up about in-store performances, how long he’s been rhyming for (and why), Mumia Abu-Jamal, Viper Records & major labels, and Project Greenlight.

I would have posted this yesterday, but my body was in a state of straight shut-down from Oktoberfest. 2DopeBoyz posted the snippets of Street Hop, which is being hosted by Amazon. I am listening to this as we speak, and it sounds like Royce has a fucking gem on his hands. If you don’t bother to take notice of this one you should be shanked in the side with a blunt and rusty object. You can pre-order Street Hop here. October 20th…

Elzhi Spits it A Cappella Style

This is the shit that I’m talking about. If you haven’t heard of Elzhi, you might as well have been sleeping under a rock. This guy is so good at what he does, there really aren’t many emcees in the game that can touch this dude. I personally would probably put him in my top 3 emcees right now without a doubt. Slum Village recently did a show out in LA, and this A Cappella is just a nice little snippet of the skill that El possesses.
