Career

Royce was introduced to fellow Detroit rapper Eminem on December 29, 1997 by his manager, Kino Childrey. Bad Meets Evil formed a pair who performed many tracks together, and they released several tracks together. They appeared on The Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito Show for the first time on August 20, 1998. Royce appeared on Eminem's debut studio album The Slim Shady LP (1999), in which he was featured on a song titled "Bad Meets Evil." The two bands later collaborated on the track "Reenegade," in which Royce's vocals would later be replaced by Jay-Z's on The Blueprint of the latter. Royce was introduced to both Dr. Dre and execs at Game Recordings, but they parted ways after Dre refused Dr. Dre's request that he break ties with Childress.

Royce signed his first recording contract in 1998, with Tommy Boy Records as the sole producer. In a 2016 interview with Complex, he had turned down an estimate from Dr. Dr. Aftermath Entertainment of $250,000 and unlimited beats, a move that he described as his "biggest regret" prior to that. After Tommy Boy Records' demise, he signed a Columbia and Game Recordings contract, where he began recording an album titled Rock City, referring to Detroit's former home to Motown Records. Royce allowed Koch to re-record some of the songs, re-releasing it in 2002 as Rock City (Version 2.0). Despite poor album sales, the DJ Premier-produced single "Boom" earned Royce some underground recognition, eventually resulting in the two teams working together more closely.

Royce dropped out with the D12 in 2002, causing a public feud that culminated in the publication of a total of three diss tracks. "Shit on You" was the first song to be released on the D12's track and mainly attacked group member Bizarre. "Malcolm X" D12 performed "Smack Down" after Royce's second album, D12's "Malcolm X" was the instrumental of 50 Cent's "Back Down" in the instrumental. Proof himself performed "Many Men" over the instrumental of 50 Cent's "Many Men" (Wish Death)" and "Beef Is Ova" with rap band The Purple Gang. Royce performed "Death Day" on his third album, followed by over 50 Cents' "In Da Club."

Proof confronted Royce outside a Detroit nightclub in 2003, triggering a confrontation between the rappers' entourages. In adjoining cells, Proof and Royce were arrested and imprisoned overnight, where they discussed their differences and ended the feud. They returned to beef in 2007 when Royce re-released "Malcolm X" from his mixtape "Bar Examine," but officially stopped in 2008 when he was featured on D12's Return to the Dozen and The Devil's Night Mixtape.

Royce has signed with Game Recordings, for whom he had produced several tracks for the soundtrack of the video game Grand Theft Auto III, which was released in 2001. Royce's "I'm the King" and The Alchemist-produced solo track, which (along with the publicized beef) helped raise Royce's name outside of his relationship with Eminem. Game Radio FM, a video game radio station, prominently featured him. Royce debuted on pop singer Willa Ford's album "I Wanna Be Bad" in 2001. Death Is Certain, his second and most commercial album to date, is charting with another Premier-produced song, "Hip-Hop."

Following the relative success of his second attempt, Royce produced Independent's Day, his third solo venture. This was met with less acclaim than either of his previous launches. The rivalry between Royce and former friend Proof in Detroit reached a boiling point on a night when the two rappers opened fire; they were arrested and released to work out their differences after spending the night in neighboring cells in jail. The artists' time in prison culminated in their breaking and then embarking on two overseas tours together. Despite a sentencing to one year in prison for a DUI, Royce had proposed other projects involving Nottz and his former crew, D-Elite.

Royce's premier and Statik Selektah performed the mixtape The Bar Examine, which appeared in 2007. Royce also revealed an album with Premiership, but Royce said in an interview with Elemental Magazine that he would not be making the whole thing, but that he would be in charge of the project as executive producer, handpicking all of the beats. Royce wrote "Tell Me" in response to The Bar Examiner's album Press Play. Following this, the producer expressed an interest in transferring the lyricist to Bad Boy. Nas has also stated that he would like to sign Royce to his Def Jam imprint, The Jones Experience. However, neither of these agreements came true.

Royce confirmed in early 2008 that he had officially resolved misunderstandings between himself and Eminem. He released The Bar Exam 2 with DJ Green Lantern later this year, as well as a retail version of the mixtape The Album; among other things, the projects featured work from Green Lantern, 9th Wonder, DJ Premier, and July 6.

The pair began collaborating on new music and released the album Hell: The Sequel on June 14, 2011 with Eminem's label Shady Records. "Fast Lane" and "Lighters" were two EP singles, starring Bruno Mars. Both singles received regular radio exposure, and this is considered Royce's biggest leap into mainstream hip-hop.

Bad Meets Evil will reunite for the albums "Shady XV" and "Southpaw," which refers to the film of the same name.

Royce and DJ Premier also announced that a joint album would be released as the duo PRhyme duo in 2014. "I want people to understand that we didn't compromise in lieu of the climate," Royce da 5'9" and DJ Premier said about the album in September 2014. We had to take a leap of faith in order to change the way people consume music, "says Royce. "The bar has to be crowded," the DJ Premier says. This album is intended to be another body of work and yet another chapter for both of our lives." DJ Premiership's debut as a result of Adrian Younge's music composition skills, DJ Premier went out of his comfort zone and tried only Younge's songs for the album's creation. PRhyme debuted the single "Highs & Lows" on November 24, 2015, a ft MF and Phonte of Little Brother's new PRhyme Deluxe Edition release.
