Royce The 5’9’s “Rock City” will see U.S. release by the end of the year, through Game / Koch, and will apparently correct some of the mistakes included on the previously shelved version which only made it out in the U.K., with several new tracks. Meanwhile, Royce is working on a follow-up to Rock City which he hopes to have out in 2003.

Royce Da 5'9" has delayed his debut album. "Rock City" was bootlegged heavily last year and contains a lot of old material. It is believed that Royce has delayed the album to recorded a few more new cuts, one of these new tracks will include his collaboration with Nas, as announced on Y2Hiphop.com last month. The album should be with us in early April.

The Royce album has been pushed back several times already, and executives at Columbia, who decline to comment on the "whys" and "what fors," are still hedging on a release date. For now, fans will have to be satisfied with the swanky new video, which can be viewed at www.columbiarecords.com/ musicvideo/. Royce heads to Europe at the end of the month for a 12-city tour with Usher."

From hiphopsite.com

"Back in the lab is Royce 5’9, who is recording some new, last minute inclusions for Detroit Rock City with Rush; who produced “Were Live” (Danger) & “Rock City.” Also, while some of Royce’s older material such as the Primo blessed “My Friend” and “Boom” will be included on his debut, the ridiculously dope “King Of Kings” will be omitted. Also, there is no “Detroit Rock City” remix that features Nas."

yeah, it's all over mIRC
I had high expectations that it would be better than the first version, but instead they:

* Fucked up "Rock City" feat. Eminem, with a new beat. The first one was better.
* Removed the dope posse-cut with the EXCELLENT Alchemist-beat.
* Put some radio-friendly joints on there, nuthin special at all.
* Fucked up some tracks by changing the beats.
* Didn't add the great "I'm the king", even if it's old.

I can't wait to hear the American version, even if it isn't as good as the UK version.
