8. Royce Da 5’9″ & DJ Premier – PRhyme
Released: December 9, 2014 ~ Reviewed: December 24, 2014 (Rated 4.5 out of 5 Stars)
This duo works so damn well, they have chemistry and it shows through on every song with one great track after another. Everything on this album shows great judgement, especially who they chose for features. Instead of using rappers from the 90’s who are now washed up, they called on some of the best in the game today who still embody the 90’s era of Hip-Hop and that’s just smart. But even on tracks with no features, this album is still amazing. This album easily fits into my top 5 albums of 2014 at either 2 or 3. It’s great, if it was longer and had a little more variety in the beats, I might even call it a classic. But that’s a lot to ask for, and what we got is just short of that mark which is why I give PRhyme a 4.5 out of 5. – Clobes
