Having developed the nickname Royce during high school for wearing a pendant resembling Rolls Royce’s logo, Ryan Montgomery began rapping age 18. Influenced by the likes of Ras Kass, Redman, Tupac Shakur, N.W.A., and The Notorious B.I.G., Royce was introduced to Eminem in 1997, which marked the beginning of a fruitful albeit tempestuous working duo named Bad Meets Evil. After appearing on Eminem’s major-label debut “The Slim Shady LP” on the track “Bad Meets Evil”, the rapper settled with the label Koch to released his debut “Rock City” in 2002. The album earned favourable reviews from critics, peaked at No. Eight on the Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart, largely aided by the singles, “You Can’t Touch Me”, “Rock City”, and the DJ Premier produced “Boom”.
Following an ugly battle with fellow Detroit natives D12 that culminated with Royce fighting the rapper Proof in the street, Royce found his stride once again releasing “Death Is Certain” in 2004. The album has long been dubbed Royce’s finest work, earning critical acclaim from the musical press, and drawing comparisons to Tupac and The Notorious B.I.G. Featuring Ingrid Small, Cha Cha and production from 6 July, the album spawned the singles “Hip Hop” and “Death Is Certain Pt. 2 (It Hurts)”. Royce’s follow up, 2005’s “Independent’s Day”, despite featuring guest appearances from Cee Lo Green and Yo Gotti, failed to reach the success of its predecessor.
In a collaboration with DJ Premier and Statik Selektah, Royce released the mixtape “The Bar Exam” in 2007, followed a year later by “The Bar Exam 2”. Also in 2008, the rapper announced his feud with Eminem and D12 had been resolved, paving the way for future collaborative material. In 2009 Royce released his debut album as a part of the supergroup Slaughterhouse, alongside Crooked I, Joe Budden and Joell Ortiz, entitled “Slaughterhouse”. The album earned strong reviews from critics and peaked at No. 25 on the Billboard 200 aided by the singles “The One” and “Microphone”.
Royce’s fourth solo studio album “Street Hop” was released in October 2009 featuring the singles “Shake This”, “Part of Me”, and “New Money”. In a collaboration with Eminem under the moniker Bad Meets Evil, Royce released the album “Hell: The Sequel” in 2011, followed by his fifth solo album “Success Is Certain”, both of which proved popular with the critical press. A second Slaughterhouse album arrived in 2012 entitled “Welcome to: Our House”, followed by a contribution to the Shady Records release “Shady XV” and DJ Premier release “PRhyme” in 2014.

Ryan Daniel Montgomery doesn’t go by his birth name when he’s performing hip hop, but at least he’s honest about his height. As Royce da 5’9”, he’s pretty much done it all, as far as rap’s concerned; in the late nineties, he had ties with his friend Eminem, who he met in their native Detroit, and appeared on The Slim Shady LP as well as the original version of the track Renegades, which would later go on to be re-used by Jay Z. Later, though, he’d fall out first with Dr. Dre, and then D12, despite the fact that he was good friends with Proof from the group; the song ‘Shit on You’ by the collective was aimed at Royce. Eventually, though, that particular beef would be ended, after he and Proof drew guns during a particularly heated incident that saw them both arrested. Royce served time for a DUI, but on his release toured with D12 in the UK, delivering quickfire, high-energy sets that saw him tear through material new and old, as well as join the group on stage later in the evening for a collaboration. He’s gone on to work with Slaughterhouse, too, and toured with the group in the UK back in August of last year; he might be one of hip hop’s nearly men, but his live reputation continues to precede him.

Royce came in and did his thing. Small show and very personal, but MAN this guy gives everything to the crowd. You can really feel his passion and sincerity, I would/plan to definitely go to more of his shows.
