Legendary Detroit rapper Royce Da 5’9″ has released his seventh studio album as a solo artist, Book of Ryan. The album is already getting rave reviews and has been dubbed by Billboard as the “Definitive Royce Album.”
Yesterday, we made a point of showcasing the album’s latest single, “Caterpillars” which saw Eminem dropping a shout out to Toronto based rap battle league, King of the Dot. “Spit like it’s King of the Dot” is the line from the third verse of the song which also features Chicago’s own King Green.

Now the full album has been released and is available on all major streaming platforms – and there’s more of a Canadian connection to the project than the KOTD plug.
Book of Ryan also features work from Canadian producers including Boi-1da (“Power”) and Frank Dukes (“Stay Woke” which was co-produced by Bloomfield, NJ beatsmith, Illmind). The album also features a Logic-assisted remix of “Caterpillars.”
The project comes just under two months since the release of Royce’s sixth collaborative album, PRhyme2 (with DJ Premier).
