Before PRhyme was an album, someone on the internet already understood what it was.
No DJ tag. No hosted by credit. Just twelve tracks and a title: Bad Meets Premo. It landed on mixtapekings.com in November 2014, one month before PRhyme hit stores. 491 downloads before the files went quiet. Nobody knows who compiled it.
That anonymous move is the whole story. Premo and Royce had been building toward this since the late 1990s. "My Friend" in 2002. "Boom." "Hip Hop." Fifteen years of track-by-track collaboration before they ever announced a group. Whoever assembled this tape heard the throughline before the label did.
The full tape is in the player on the site. The story is up now.
From the Crate
"U Looz" was the first thing people heard. The beat, the scratches, Royce coming in clean. It was a statement before anybody called it a single.
One More Thing
The official video for "U Looz" dropped September 2014, two months before the album. Watch it and tell us Premo's scratches on that hook don't still hit.
