With PRhyme 2 dropping later this month, it was only right for one of the best MCs in the game, Royce Da 5’9″, to lace a freestyle for Funkmaster Flex.
The Detroit rapper blessed Hot 97 with a crazy 10-minute freestyle over Nas’ “N.Y. State of Mind.” “I’m fire with flows, top five and you know, I’m happy at platinum but I was happier back when 500,000 was sold,” he raps. “My proudest accomplishment now was when I got quiet to get sober, and silence is gold.” On the turntables was DJ Premier, who of course, is responsible for producing the classic Illmatic record.
Clearly, Royce was out to challenge Black Thought’s freestyle.
