Detroit Vet, Royce Da 5'9" is coming to terms with his death. No, not really! His sophomore album titled Death is Certain is slated to drop on February 24, 2004.

"I feel like Nas before he dropped 'Ether,'" said Royce Da 5'9" about releasing his highly-anticipated follow-up to his massively bootlegged debut Rock City.

Since his debut Rock City was so massively bootlegged, his label refurbished, re-titled and officially released it again as Rock City V.2.0. Since then he has released two mixtapes, Build & Destroy and M.I.C. Mixtape Vol.1

Death is Certain is said to be Royce's most revealing and honest LP’s to date. Where else are you going to hear an emcee apologize to fans for his attempts to gain commercial acceptance? Or as Royce says on "Regardless," "I played myself for radio play/I never dance/but the skill itself is a second chance."

According to a press release from Koch, the album is so personal there will be no outside guest appearances. The album is so personal Royce had a hard time putting other emcees on including his very own crew, D-Elite.

Most of the LP is produced by Carlos “6 July” Broady, but you will see production from Asar, Ty Fyffe, DJ Premier and Reef. Broady chips in on eight tracks, including three that were originally recorded for the late Notorious B.I.G. (including an update of B.I.G.’s classic “What’s Beef” now appropriately re-dubbed “Beef”).

"Me and Los really just wanted to remind people where he came from," said Royce of the remix. "And what to expect from us as a team and 'What's Beef' was such a classic for him and B.I.G. that we felt like it had to be done again."

Royce offers, "I feel this album is showing the world what I’m capable of as an artist and emcee."

The Final track listing for Death Is Certain is as follows:

01 - Regardless
02 - Throw Back
