Royce Da 5'9" Speaks On "Album" Leak, Upcoming Releases
This past weekend, a 14-track "album" by Royce Da 5'9" called The Revival leaked on the Internet, eliciting a quick reply from the Detroit emcee.
To the people listening, its not even near what the album is, said Royce to MichiganHipHop.com. It aint nothing but old copies of certain shit. Some of the songs, I still plan on using, but its such a rough and old copy, its not even worth listening to because its going to sound like such a different project by the time it comes out.
Although artists rarely find who the people behind leaking their material are, Royce seems to have a pretty good idea. Somebody from back in the day, who thinks I dont know who he is, said the rapper, describing the man behind the leak. Royce followed by saying the situation would be dealt with appropriately.
[Bar Exam II] is all Ive been working on lately, said Royce of his upcoming mixtape, due to hit the Internet for free download on August 26. When they actually get the project, itll have a whole lot of new shit on there they havent heard, along with the shit thats been leaked strategically. Its going to be every sense of a mixtape. The way real mixtapes used to be, thats what its going to be.
Royce also spoke on Street Hop, his anticipated full-length album executive produced by the legendary DJ Premier, explaining it would hit stores in late October.
The rapper also touched on recently canceled shows in Norway. He explained that the night before at a show in Saigon, before his first scheduled performance, Royce literally broke his left arm while pinning a fan's hand on a table in an arm wrestling match. Royce spoke on the matter in a video blog on his Myspace page (http://myspace.com/roycefivenine), explaining that he went through emergency room surgeries and that the pain forced him to miss four shows.
They got onstage and said I wasnt going to be performing, and since the people had seen me the night before and knew I was in town, they got mad and they started fighting in there, said Royce, who rescheduled the shows for September. It was like a big ass riot in there. So Ive definitely got to go back.
