New Music: Royce Da 5’9″ – “Overcomer” (feat. Westside Gunn)
Next month, we get a new studio album from Nickel Nine titled “The Allegory.” It’s reported Royce will do most of the LP’s production, and actually gave us a taste of what to expect from him behind the boards, with November’s “Black Savage” single. He also produced a record on Em’s surprise album that dropped today, “Music To Be Murdered By.”
Now to follow up, he links with fellow Shady signee, and one of the Griselda heavy-hitters, “Westside Gunn” for “Overcomer.” Surprisingly, Royce took some time-out to address his issues with former Shady 2.0 rapper, Yelawolf.
On a recent interview with the Joe Budden Podcast, Nickel already voiced his problems with Yela, but now that we hear it on record, and being he’s in such a good space right now, it really hit home for him.
“It’s a situation going on, especially in hip-hop. We have all kinds of different people, but we have white people who come into the business and they use the culture. We got a very open culture, it’s here for everybody to thrive. Some white people use that, and then go and do very evil things behind closed doors. Racist things. They make comments. It got to a point in life where if I see it, hear it, or am involved in it in any type of way, I have to start holding these people accountable.”
