It’s starting to feel like winter time in Chicago which is making getting up and coming to work that much harder especially on Mondays.  Maybe that’s just me.  Over the weekend, I came across of Royce Da 5’9″s first installment of The Bar Exam hosted by DJ Premier and Statik Selectah.  I couldn’t wait to listen because of how incredible The Bar Exam 2 was.  I’ve been listening to it since Saturday and I am definitely hooked.  The tape starts out exactly how it should and Royce proves exactly why he is one of the nicest dudes on the mike.  He rips tracks like Nas Is Like, Feelin It and Gone making them sound as new and as fresh as ever.  I’m telling you, October 20th, Street Hop is going to be FIERCE.  If Royce continues to come with it like he has been, Street Hop will definitely be in the top 5 albums of 2009.  Peep Dinner Time and the October 20th tracks I posted previously.  If your still not a believer here is Royce MURDERING Kanye’s track Gone.  That move to Shady is only going to spell trouble for A LOT of cats.  I bet Eminem is fired up that he got left off MTV’s Hottest Rappers in the game after dropping Relapse.
