In case you missed it yesterday (February 7th) Royce Da 5'9 made a brief return with the release of his jazzy, yet blunt new song "Field Negro".
The song finds Royce dancing over a fluttery yet somehow calming instrumental (that may remind you of classic jazz) while discussing the life of blacks growing up in the struggle. The beat then seamlessly switches up to a clapping, sped up notion that leads Royce to talk his shit even more. The production on this one is phenomenal, it'd be nice to hear Royce over more jazzy instrumentation like this in the near future, and seeing how Royce is one of the few and rare beat chameleons that hip hop has ever seen, it seems like he would always find a way to say something or structure a rhyme differently than the last.
Check out the newest Royce slapper below, and since Google+'s sharing system is slowing but surely coming to an end, be sure to hit me up on Twitter (@SuperNovaRover) or Facebook (Geoffrey Guy) and share your thoughts on the new track. Is real hip hop back? Not yet, but Royce is certainly helping keep it alive.
