Statik Selektah, Royce da 5'9" & DJ Premier — The Bar Exam [mixtape]


Released from prison, Royce da 5'9" must prove that he's the same talented rapper of the past years. To do so, he enlists Statik Selektah and DJ Premier in order to find twenty beats to spit braggadocio for over fifty minutes. The guests are Termanology, Jaretta, Rell, Black Milk, Guilty Simpson and his brother Kid Vishis. The Detroit MC proves to be one of the best lyricists of the season, bringing out one of the most successful projects of 2007. He really flows very well on Premier beats, proving that a collaborative album between the two could easily be a masterpiece, and is in confidence all the time. With all this battle rap tracks, Royce shines on finally good production, boasts a tight, fast, dominant flow and releases his best work yet. 7.5/10.
