Royce Da 5’9″ on Sound Session
Posted in Artists, Interviews, Sound Session on November 26th, 2009 by HyphenYou might recall that Slaughterhouse recently dropped by the Sound Session studio, but soon after, Royce Da 5’9″ returned for another show in Seattle and came through solo. We covered a ton of topics in the 3 part conversation so I decided to put the full video online for y’all to enjoy.
Shout to Royce, easily one of the most down to earth and talented artists that we’ve had on the show. When I was a high school kid losing my mind to all his verses in the late 90’s, I never would have thought I’d have the opportunity to kick it with him a few times. Craziness. Go cop Street Hop immediately and peep below for the interview.
