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”

    @ westcoast.
    I feel ya on not liking the new Em. But give this EP a chance my nigga. This will more than likely kick off where Bad Meets Evil, from 1999 left off so I doubt the new “pop” eminem will be present on this EP. Think about it. You shouldn’t hate on the EP untill you have heard it, your words might come back to bite you on the ass.

  21. [...] It was reported this morning that Royce Da 5’9″ and Eminem will be joining forces once again to release a brand new project. I’ve been waiting for this since the release of their first collaboration back in 1999. According to Rap Radar, the project will include production from Mr. Porter, Havoc, Bangladesh, and DJ Khalil. June 14th can’t come quick enough. [...]
