Detroit-based MC Royce Da 5'9" will release his second album, "Death Is Certain," Feb. 24 via Koch Records. The 14-track album is the official follow-up to Royce's 2002 debut "Rock City."
Royce followed "Rock City" with two mix-tape releases last year, "Build & Destroy" and "M.I.C. Mixtape Vol. 1," but he considers "Death Is Certain" his sophomore LP. Royce peppers the new album with personal commentary, and in a rare move in today's industry, eschewed appearances from high-profile guest rappers.
Producers include previous Royce collaborator DJ Premier, Asar, Reef, Ty Fyffe and Carlos "6 July" Broady, a veteran of P. Diddy's Hitmen production team. The Broady-helmed tracks include a remake of the Notorious B.I.G. song "What's Beef" (here titled simply "Beef").
Other cuts on "Death Is Certain" include "Regardless," "Throwback," "What I Know," "Bomb 1st," "I & Me," "T.O.D.A.Y." and first single "Hiphop."
"Rock City" peaked at No. 29 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart in December 2002.
