I’d like to see him, KRS-One, and King Los go head to head on Jeopardy and Em play Watson in a definition battle... Alex jus throw in the towel and eventually let all 3 win after running out of clues and I believe Em would melt a supercomputer....

Royce conspiracies are a good listen especially if you like to sit down and tune into 2hr long podcasts. He probably watches ancient aliens the emerald tablets, the annuaki, the fibonacci are popular topics on that show. The theory I like the most is sound is faster than the speed of light.

Royce never got his prop for his brilliance but that's the thing about some geniuses it takes a while but people eventually get there. His writing style is insane and completely unique and the way he matches real events with what he's trying to say in his rhyme and then link it all together is complete madness. I hate when people say he raps like Em because it completely misses what Royce does.

[@KairosTemporalis]

Born and raised in PG County myself. Good to see somebody from the neighborhood.

[@Embyr_Gaming]

The first minute and a half of this freestyle is word for word Thou Shall. Also, the background music the entire time is the backing track for Thou Shall, which definitely makes it easier on him to predict the flow and how to go about laying words. It doesn't take away from how amazing the rest of the freestyle is, but I just want people to not only respect his freestyle capabilities, but also to go check out The Allegory. Honestly, it's an amazing album.
