“PRhyme 2” sees Premier locked down to Antman Wonder and it lends a harsher sound yet one that still gives the record a PRhyme feel (as opposed to a Premo feel). “PRhyme2” is most certainly a contiunation, yet feels even more experimental than the original’s sample source, provided by Adrian Younge. But let’s not dwell on their past achievements because PRhyme is very much about two veterans challenging themselves in the present. The Gang Starr producer could have retired in 1999 and gone down in history as one of the best yet, but his catalog has just grown and grown over the last two decades to include countless classic 12” singles and a steady stream of excellent LPs. They embody their craft – Royce has a strong argument for being one of the best emcees while Preem is the greatest hip hop producer that’s still making music. If you’re reading this and need background information on either Royce Da 5’9’’ or DJ Premier, well, God help you. As far as hip hop goes, nobody embodies that more than PRhyme. The type of people who are so talented that they start to piss you off. The record breakers, genetic freaks and folks with more talent in their little finger than any of us mere mortals could ever muster in a millennium. There come’s a time in one’s life where you start to realize certain individuals aren’t completely human.
