Street Hop

Royce Da 5'9" Street Hop was originally announced in 2006, and early rumors had fans speculating that Premier would produce the entire album. In September of 2006, it was announced that DJ Premier would executive produce and contribute roughly half of the album's material, in addition to helping select beats. In the same month, Royce was convicted of a DUI, resulting in parole violation. Following his completion of a year-long prison sentence, he prepared the release of the first The Bar Exam mixtape amidst rumors that Nas was amenable to signing him to the rapper's Def Jam imprint, The Jones Experience.

After joining New Jersey rapper Joe Budden, New Yorker Joell Ortiz and California native Crooked I to form the four-man group Slaughterhouse, Royce had been busy recording and touring, he later returned to the studio for his own album with a new release date. Guests currently confirmed are Bun B, Busta Rhymes, and rest of Slaughterhouse, videos have been shot and released for the first two singles, "Shake This" (produced by DJ Premier) and "Part of Me" (produced by 6 July), both directed by Rik Cordero. Recently, the rapper released The Revival EP, a four-song collection including an appearance by the rest of Slaughterhouse.

"Street Hop" is set to be released October 20th. Be on the lookout....
