Among underground hip-hop fans, one of the most hotly-anticipated sets of ‘09 was Royce Da 5’9”‘s fourth solo album, Street Hop.  After switching his focus to hip-hop supergroup Slaughterhouse, however, the Detroit vet pushed the album to 2010.  Now back in solo mode, Royce showcases the results of his stint in lyrical boot camp on his latest single, New Money.  An uncredited singer (possibly Adela?) adds to the mood with a soulful hook and bridge vocals, and Dirty Southern producer Streetrunner delivers a Northeastern-style beat that the Midwestern emcee fittingly slaughters. Fans may groan (understandably) at the seemingly endless delays, but judging by this track’s quality (and the great DJ Premier‘s role as executive producer) Street Hop will be well worth the wait.

Beastie Boys sample? Yes! Streetrunner is slowly becoming one of my favorite producers.

I would say that 99% of the artists who title their song "New Money" have little chance to actually get a feature at the Booth. Royce, however, is (as we already know) apart of that 1%.

Royce killed this, and I had no idea his CD was pushed to 2010, that sucks! Well I'm definitely anticipating the CD, and once it's released I'll be coppin it. Royce is incredible with the lyrics.

Production is on fire! StreetRunner once again offering a frenetic track that Royce has no problem riding and bringing his unabashed energy and word play that comes alive and fits the pace of the track. I can’t remember the last time he had a bad verse. And the singing by an uncredited female artist only adds to the proceedings and completes the picture ... 3.5

I'm back! Heard Royce a really really long time ago when one of his songs was featured in Scary Movie. I've seen his name coming up a lot but haven't heard much of his new stuff. This song sounds fresh and bumping, the flow is good. Recently I've been listening to a lot of Gucci Mane (I know, not a booth favorite) but this guys flow is niiiice, this songs got me feelin in a good mood. May not be listening to it again, but it was definitely a pleasant listen.

What can I say? It's Royce on a hot beat from Streetrunner. Nice addition of the female vocals too.
