Royce Da 5’9 announced his Layers album today (February 26) via press release.
The project is slated to drop April 15. Royce Da 5’9 and Mr. Porter serve as executive producers for Layers.
“This album is a reintroduction to Royce 5’9 but also an introduction to Ryan Montgomery,” the Detroit rapper says to Ambrosia For Heads, referring to his government name. “This album is actually the first ‘layer’ of many that will be revealed this year. By the end of 2016, I want people to really get a chance to know me.”
Layers will be Royce’s first solo album since 2011’s Success Is Certain. That same year, he and Eminem reunited for Bad Meets Evil’s Hell: The Sequel. Since then, he has continued to make music with Slaughterhouse, a group with Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz and KXNG CROOKED. He also released a project with DJ Premier under the name PRhyme.
“There are a lot of pros and cons to working by myself and working in a group capacity,” Royce says. “A con is I have to do a lot more writing by myself. When your writing a song with three other people you don’t have to do as much work. I’m inspired by other artists, so that’s a plus, but when I’m working alone it’s 100% what I want to do which could be cool too.”

Royce pen game is serious..
To this site I didn’t use foul language everything I wrote was clean so why did I had to rewrite?
one of the true MC’s fake drake has ducked and avoided in the past, Royce lyrically destroyed drake…tweet about that you fucking fruit.
At long last nickel is dropping a solo album. ie a very good news but wtf is up with slaughterhouse
i hope hes done with the sound he used on success is certain… legendary was wack an i love royce
Lol,Ross tryin to gt his Detroit Hood Pass Back
DOPE! Royce is just too good man! Only dissappointed with Ross being on the album…btw still wondering what happened to the Slaughterhouse project
Dope cover. Really stoked for this project, but where’s Slaughterhouse?
finally real hip hop
Excited for this but why officer Ricky on the album?
Wait what? Rick Ross.. Officer Ricky…. Shady better step in and correct this shit
why is royce workin with ross?
why did nas
Ross payd Royce to hop on his album so that he can come to Detroit …LMAO idk but its funny
between Royce Da 5’9’s Layers album and Krizz Kaliko’s GO album..ill have good hiphop material to listen to!
FUCK STRANGE MUSIC AND THERE DEPRESSING ASS RAP TECH PROBLY RESPONSIBLE FOR FIFTY SUICIDES
Didn’t Ross get ran out of Detroit, whats up with this feature Royce??
Hell i dont even like rick ross myself but i aint gonna bitch about his feature, damn people just skip his fuckin verse or skip the song geez
I thought Royce was better then this having fat boi PO who diss EM years back on his album Layers ! Kinda disappointed but I will still fuck wit Royce . Pusha Ethers his verse !
same thing as when proof did a song with twitid get over petty grudges
pray = the royce iv been missing
three songs deep and its already buried success is certain … starter coat reminds me of the bar exams
Damn was hoping for a Full version of rap on steroids
i think he beat street hop
j-live – the way that i rhyme
The last three J-live albums within the last two years are all great and it’sone of my favorite emcees so that’sa good look way to represent
Bars after bars… This will take some of you a few listens to catch some of the crazy shit he is sayin…
This is his classic! I love this shit. Wow
You know artist like planet asia, black thought,pharoahe month,elzhi,one be lo,j-live, melanin 9,canibus, killahpriest, scienz of life ,gza,etc all make eminem and Royce look like regular rappers. No hate I’m just sayin
Lol at you trying to put one be lo in the same category as em and Royce. You are a troll
Lmfao at you for thinking that those two are that nice on the Mic cause the list is accurate and you can add k- Rino also
Nice album, better than Success is Certain, subjects, flows, lyrics are all good and new, but the beats are meh, both DJ Khalil joints were trash, and the Nottz beat was just weird, could’ve been way better with some better guests or some better production, the Skits are dope too. 4/5
killed his last album , it goes death is certain ,street hop,rock city, inependents day, success is certain i dont know where to put layers yet
#1 would be the answer.
I know that now
Anyone who made these dumb comments don’t know hip hop royce is pure garbage a dude that just tries to put words together that means nothing
Mmmmm pretty sure you’re wrong. Royce is one of the best lyricists around. Have you heard Tabernacle? Are those just words put together that mean nothing? That’s one of the best storytelling rap songs I’ve heard in a long time. FOH
honestly tabernackle is good but its not a song id put on repeat
Why does he have Rick Ross on his album tho? That can’t be right.
No Premo???
WHy the fuck would he put ross on his album??????????? WHY????????????????? how you go and ruin a perfectly good album with one fake -CO
