Royce Da 5’9″ Will Drop ‘Trust The Shooter’ Mixtape Tomorrow



After venturing out as a part of Slaughterhouse and later with DJ Premier as PRhyme, Royce Da 5’9″ is back on his solo grind, with his upcoming album Layers slated for an April 15 release. Before then though, Nickel Nine will drop a prelude of sorts in the form of his Trust the Shooter EP, which, according to DatPiff, will be set free on Tuesday March 29 at around 3 p.m. EST. A countdown via the mixtape platform is included below.
While a tracklist for Trust the Shooter isn’t yet available, odds are that the project will include previously released tracks “Which Is Cool” and “Savages,” as neither appear on the Layers iTunes preorder.  As for his Layers rollout, Royce has lead with the autobiographical single “Tabernacle” which received a similarly personal video treatment earlier this month.
Speaking with XXL, the Detroit rapper says of Layers, “I’ll be peeling back all of them. One of my layers is PRhyme, another is Slaughterhouse, another is Bad Meets Evil. All of these different styles and sides of my creativity come out in different ways and different groups, and this is basically me peeling back all the layers and giving you every side of me as Royce da 5’9” the solo artist in 2016. This is the complete artist.”
And later: “I don’t mean to sound cliché but the album as a whole is my best work to date. I can’t wait for people to hear it just so I can get feedback on what people think about it once they start picking apart and dissecting songs. I can’t wait to read the comments and hear what everybody has to say. I’m excited about the whole process.”
Peep the countdown clock below and check back tomorrow when Trust the Shooter is expected to drop.
