Eminem & Royce Da 5’9″ Announce EP

Monday, April 25 2011 8:58 AM EST | Posted by: Big Homie | Posted in: Blog, True Story

Welcome to the best of both worlds. Now that Eminem and Royce Da 5’9″ are back on the same page, the pair are set to release an EP inspired by their 1999 collaboration, Bad Meets Evil. The project is set to drop on June 14th through Interscope and will feature production from D-12′s Mr. Porter, Havoc, DJ Khalil, Bangladesh and others. Here’s what Em had to say:

“Royce and I started hanging out again and inevitably that led us back into the studio. At first we were just seeing where it went without any real goal in mind, but the songs started to come together crazy, so here we are.”

As for Royce:

“I’m excited to see this project come to fruition considering the long lapse in time between when we worked before and now. We had a blast doing it and we just hope everyone enjoys it while we’re working on the ‘Monster’ that will be the Slaughterhouse album. #TeamShady”

If you considee Gold a flop then yeah. Its still an EP also. But yeah, looking forward to it. Bangladesh on the beats too? Hmmmmm interesting cuz I only ever heard him do southern ppls beats and a couple others.

  16. Van says:

  21. @renarey says:

  22. West Coast says:

    Fuck Jay-Z, Fuck Kanye,Fuck Eminem,Fuck YMCMB,Fuck MMG,Fuck G-unit….

  23. fuk waka says:

    i jst want gooood new musicccccccc!!!!! all da shit out recently r wackkkk

  24. West Coast says:

    @fuk waka co-sign

  25. HAHAHAHA says:

    IT will move unit for suuuuuure since Em is on it, but will it be quality hip hop????? NAAAAH, only jay-z and Yeezy can bring hiphop to where it needs to be, as far as a duo album is concern. MDTF > Relaspe +Rcovery together (please someone argue that fact).BP3 wasn’t tthe craziest album but it was still better then recovery. Em is the greatest mc alive right now but simply not the greatest artist.

  26. COLD BLOOD says:

    DOPE!

    THE REAL EMINEM + ROYCE + REAL HIP HOP PRODUCERS = THE RETURN OF HIP HOP!

    FUCK LIL WAYNE! FUCK DRAKE! FUCK CANADA!

    YOU CAN HATE ME NOW!

  27. Umar says:

    Dope!
    Real hip-hop is back
    can’t wait

    Bad Meets Evil >>> WTT

  28. Krancho says:

    Who gives a flying fuck ??

    Bring D12 back Em!
    You know ? Your fucking crew!

  29. the penguin says:

    HATERS GET THE GAS FACE!!!!

  30. West Coast says:

    @HAHAHAHA Eminem is the greatest Pop-MC alive…no doubt…but he was the Greatest Rapper from (1999-2004)…coming from a Eminem fan

  31. the penguin says:

    pop mc? since when?

  32. Ronaldo says:

    can’t wait.
    gonna be classic shit

  33. D says:

    @thepenguin: he said it, since 2004

  34. Dat Nigga Vader says:

    WOW this HAS to be a sign, i’m the biggest Eminem fan out there and i’ve been waiting for Royce and Em to make their sequel to “Bad Meets Evil” since i was a kid and now they’re gonna release the EP on my birthday!! FTW!!!

  35. the penguin says:

    Why are people comparing this to watch the throne?

  36. D says:

    and i doubt it that bangladesh is gonna have beat on this project. royce would stomp the shit out of him if they was in same studio

  37. anyu89 says:

    hell yeah!!! on my birthday

  38. bhikku says:

    Eminem flop – Relapse (platinum). Remember how large his fanbase is.

    Slaughterhouse will bring out the best in Em.

    Give me a track with either:
    Pharoahe

    Or produced by
    Alchemist, or
    Primo

    And I’m good.

  39. [...] RapRadar are reporting that the project will be drop on June 14th through Interscope with production from Havoc, DJ Khalil, Bangladesh and Mr. Porter. [...]

  40. Coroner says:

    This is what I’m talking about!!!

  41. HAHAHAHA says:

    @West Coast I totally agree. I mean I don’t think anyone can go head to head on paper against eminem. And the years you mentioned HELL YEAH he was. But after eminem show I think he went downhill. I am a HUGE eminem fan as well, and I just feel that his letting his core fans on the side with his grown up bull*sh. I understand that people grow up but I am not entertain by his grown man change. I mean Jay-z changed but I feel like he didn’t do a 180 on his personality. Eminem as a brand use to be a world of it’s own, now it’s just sound on a billboard, the art form been broken while Kanye west craft is innovating. Anyways you know how it goes

  42. YOUAJOKE says:

    OH THIS JUST DIDNT HAPPEN… EM AND ROYCE ARE GOING TO GO CRAZY ON THIS SHIT, NO DOUBT A PREMO BEAT WILL BE INVOLVED

  43. hiphopfan says:

    @the penguin

    i have no idea, this will be far better
