Detroit, Michigan, United States (1977 – present)
Ryan Montgomery A.K.A. Royce Da 5′9″ - born July 5, 1977 - is a rapper hailing from Detroit, Michigan, United States. In addition to his work as a solo artist, Royce has released material as a member of the “super group” Slaughterhouse (with Joe Budden, Joe Ortiz and Crooked i ) and with Eminem as the duo Bad Meets Evil.
The name “Royce” came from his R shaped Turkish link chain which was said to have resembled a Rolls Royce logo. During high school Royce was one of the shortest players on his basketball team, standing 5′9” at age 18.
Royce signed with Tommy Boy records in 1998 and later was slated to release his debut album Rock City. Though this relationship was premature, Royce ended up leaving the label citing creative differences.
Royce began working with well known Game Recordings who helped get him in front of the right people to negotiate a deal with Columbia Records. Royce’s Rock City debut was yet again plagued with delays, during which the album was heavily bootlegged. Though not in their favor, Columbia chose to release Rock City in limited quantity and quickly went out of print by the time Royce left Columbia.
Around this time Royce dropped the underground banger “Boom” with production by Dj Premier. Soon thereafter he joined up with Koch / Game Recordings and released Rock City (Version 2.0) independently.
Most well known for his association with Slim Shady – the two met at a concert while Slim was promoting his Slim Shady EP.

Death Is Certain > Street Hop > Success Is Certain. And Royce hasn't gotten worse. He's gotten better. His delivery just became ridiculous around the time Bar Exam 1 dropped and lyrically he's only gotten better. The word play and punchlines became a real skill of his. I mean listen to his previous work he was more of a pure rhymer before his evolution during Bar exam 1/2/3. He's always been dope though, he just got even better.
