Throughout the track and project, Royce sprinkles in bars from some of Premier’s most-famous produced tracks including The Notorious B.I.G.’s “ Kick In The Door,” the aforementioned “A Million and One Questions,” and Nas’ “ Nas Is Like. 2 The album features guest appearances from rappers Killer Mike, Jay Electronica, Common, Ab-Soul, Schoolboy Q. 1 The album was released on December 9, 2014, through their own record label PRhyme Records. The instrumental changes again as Common hops on for a standout verse. PRhyme is the debut studio album by American hip hop duo PRhyme, consisting of Royce da 5'9' and DJ Premier. The project rolls on with the Dwele-aided “You Should Know” and “Courtesy” before Common joins the fold for “Wishin’.” After going in with bars like “I bought my bitch an ass then wrote it off on my taxes / Listed it as an independent backing like Macklemore,” Royce channels Jay Z’s “ A Million And One Questions / Rhyme No More” by spitting “Muthafuckas can’t rhyme no more about rhyme no more” as Premier flips the beat. The chemistry Royce and Preem display is impressive, but 5’9” quickly puts an end to any thoughts that PRhyme could be the next Gang Starr-the legendary group consisting of Premo and the late-great Guru (“And this is for the real hip-hop ni**as / Who will never ever ever ask me am I here to replace Guru”). “U Looz” encompasses everything PRhyme stands for: bone-shattering rhymes over heart-stopping beats.
