A few weeks back, DJ Premier and Royce Da 5'9" announced that they'd be pairing up under the name "PRhyme" for a new joint album. Today, Sway premiered the first cut we've heard from the upcoming project, entitled "Courtesy."
Featuring an organ-led beat from Premo and several typically thrilling verses from the one half of Bad Meets Evil, "Courtesy" delivers on all the hype that the PRhyme announcement produced. Royce awesomely calls himself "Bumpy Johnson meets Nucky Thompson" (shouts to my "Boardwalk Empire" fans) and says this album is "so dark and so fly" is should be "wrapped in batwings."
Nice.
Edit: updated with CDQ version. iTunes pre-order is also available now.
Quotable Lyrics:
Privy to the gossip
That's been said about me constant
It's the life and times of
Bumpy Johnson meets Nucky Thompson
