Glad these two settled their differences and decided to record material again together.
As an adolescent back in ’99 I remember thinking Em and Royce were a deadly combination first time I heard The Slim Shady LP. Haven’t felt like a Shady fan in a long time (excessive middle-age, male-menopause Marshall raps in that grating delivery on Recovery), but this displays their classic lyrical sparring – punches, wordplay, hunger and rash, scathing humour.
The EP is out June 14th via Interscope, and will feature production from Bangladesh, DJ Khalil, Havoc and Mr. Porter.
