#36
PRhyme
| PRhyme 2
PRhyme Records

According to Jesse Ducker: “Whereas their debut album PRhyme was a brisk nine tracks and ran about 35 minutes, Royce and Premier spread things out a bit with PRhyme 2. The album runs a little under an hour and 17 songs deep, allowing Royce to shine both on his own and with a myriad of guests.

Primo and Royce are at the point in their careers where they can do whatever they want. Premier still does spot productions for both mainstream and underground artists, and Royce releases his solo albums through his own label and as a part of Slaughterhouse through Eminem’s Shady Records. They both can thrive on their own, but have shown that they can put together an excellent body of work when they decide to team up. The collaboration isn’t Gang Starr and it doesn’t try to be. PRhyme is on its way to becoming its own fully-formed entity. Here’s hoping they continue to record these albums, because it feels like PRhyme are on the path to achieving their full potential.”
