Royce Da 5’9″ has been known to be one of the most lyrical mc’s to grace the mic, yet with each release, his skills seem to get sharper. With album number 8, titled “The Allegory“, the Detroit mc shines brighter than ever over a soundscape that he provided. Royce has always been known for his lyrical prowess, but now we throw “beat producer” into the conversation as well. The growth of Royce is on full display with this release, as his artistic development is headed toward uncharted areas for a rapper at this stage in his career. Without a doubt, there is no denying that Royce is a better mc than he was in his beginning years and that is a feat within itself. At 22 tracks, a listener would assume that this offering is bloated, but that would be far from the truth. Guests features range from some of the hottest in the game such as the Griselda crew, to hip hop mainstays such as T.I. and Kxng Crooked. If you are a fan of hip hip, then Royce has a savory offering to satisfy your cravings with “The Allegory“.
