Though I've never followed his career very close, I've always thought Royce Da 5'9" had skills. Now that Eminem has got his stuff 2gether again, I'm really excited for this EP!! Just hearing the news takes me 10 years back.

Eminem hasn’t updated his twitter account in months, but last night he took to the Internet to announce that his upcoming EP with Royce Da 5′9 would be called Hell: The Sequel. The duo —who are referring to themselves as “Bad Meets Evil — will release the EP on June 14th. This also marks the first time that these two rappers have worked together in over a decade.
.
Royce, who appeared on Eminem’s 1999 commercial breakthrough The Slim Shady LP, had a very drawn-out public feud with Em and his hip-hop group D12 from 2003 to 2008. Both acts ended up releasing diss tracks aimed at each other, however Royce patched things up with the group a few years back and was even featured on a D12 mixtape called Return Of The Dozen.

Last week, the duo’s song “Fast Lane” appeared online (which you can listen to here) and saw the two MCs trading rhymes in a traditional battle-style format, and included Eminem giving a shout out to Nicki Minaj that’s so dirty we can’t even quote it on this site. When asked how the duo reunited, Royce recently told MTV, “Me and Em, when we started hangin’ again — he don’t go anywhere — so we were hangin’ at the studio. We just started making records, just making ‘em because we were both in the lab and we had free time.”
