Royce da 5'9" Biography
Royce da 5'9" is one of the most popular and richest Rapper who was born on July 5, 1977 in Detroit, Michigan, United States. Ryan Daniel Montgomery, born July 5, 1977, is an American rapper/songwriter. His long-standing association with Eminem is his most prominent. He also has a solo career. He recorded primarily with DJ Premier and Carlos “6 July” Broady, and ghostwrote for Diddy and Dr. Dre. Royce is currently one-half of Bad Meets Evil, a rap duo with Eminem, and one-half of hip hop duo PRhyme featuring DJ Premier. He was also a member of Slaughterhouse, a hip-hop group that included Joe Budden and Joell Ortiz. About.com ranked him as No. 31 on the About.com list of “Top 50 MCs Of Our Time (1987-2007).
Royce signed with Game Recordings. He had previously recorded tracks for the soundtrack to Grand Theft Auto III in 2001. Game Radio FM featured Royce’s solo track “I’m the Kings” and The Alchemist’s “I’m the Queen”. This helped Royce’s reputation beyond his association to Eminem. Willa Ford featured Royce on her 2001 song “I Wanna Be Bad”. He released Death Is Certain in 2004. It was his second album and the most critically acclaimed. This single charted alongside another Premier-produced one, “Hip-Hop”.
Proof confronted Royce outside a Detroit nightclub in 2003, which led to a fight between both rappers’ entourages. Proof and Royce were arrested and jailed overnight in adjacent cells, where they talked out their differences and ended the feud. Their beef was reignited in 2007 when Royce re-released “Malcolm X” off his mixtape “Bar Exam”, but officially ended in 2008 when he was featured on D12’s mixtapes Return of the Dozen and The Devil’s Night Mixtape.
After the relative success of his second effort, Royce put out a third solo project, Independent’s Day, in 2005. This was met with less acclaim than either of his previous releases. During this time, the rivalry between Royce and former friend Proof reached a boiling point in the streets of Detroit, on an occasion where the two rappers drew guns; they were subsequently arrested and left to work out their differences while spending the night in neighboring cells in jail. The time spent in jail led to the artists ending their feud and subsequently embarking on two overseas tours together. Though Royce had planned other projects involving Nottz and his former crew, D-Elite, these were cut short after a sentencing to one year in jail for a DUI.
In 1998, he signed his first contract with Tommy Boy Records. The label offered him $1 million compared with Dr. Dre’s Aftermath Entertainment which offered him $250,000 and unlimited tracks–which Royce described as his “biggest regret” during a Complex interview in March 2016. He signed a deal to Columbia and Game Recordings after Tommy Boy Records closed down. This was to record an album called Rock City. It refers to Detroit’s past status as the home of Motown Records. Royce quit the label after the project was heavily pirated. Koch re-recorded some of the album and released it as Rock City (Version 2.0) in 2002. Although the album didn’t sell well, the DJ Premier-produced “Boom”, which gained Royce underground recognition, eventually led to the two of them working closer together.

Royce is 5′ 9″ (175 cm) tall. The numbers five and nine are a part of his life many times. He “found his calling” in 1995 as a rapper. In his song “Tabernacle”, Royce talks about his grandmother’s death on the fifth floor in a hospital, and his first son being born on his ninth.

Eminem and Royce appeared together on The Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito Shows for the first times on August 20, 1998. Royce also appeared on Eminem’s debut major-label studio album The Slim Shady LP. He was featured on a track called “Bad Meets Evil”. Eminem and Royce also released a track called Renegade, from which Jay-Z’s vocals were later replaced by Royce’s on The Blueprint.
In 2002, Royce had a falling out with D12 including mutual friend and group member Proof, which sparked a public rivalry that resulted in Royce releasing a total of three diss tracks. The first, “Shit on You”, was recorded over the instrumental of D12’s track of the same name and mainly attacked group member Bizarre. Following Royce’s second track, “Malcolm X”, D12 responded with “Smack Down”, over the instrumental of 50 Cent’s “Back Down”. Proof himself released the tracks “Many Men”, over the instrumental of 50 Cent’s “Many Men (Wish Death)”; and “Beef Is Ova”, with rap group The Purple Gang.
