Black Thought & Royce Da 5'9" Muscle Up w/ "Rap On Steroids"

Amongst hip-hop's living legends, there may not be two more venerated verbal technicians than one Royce Da 5'9" and our very own Black Thought. Repping Detroit and Philly, respectively, each have staked their claim to the crown with decades-plus of material, but that's never stopped them from crossing the streams. We've heard them blaze tracks as a terrific twosome over productions from Statik Selektah ("The Imperial") and DJ Premier (PRhyme's "Wishin' II",) but today they muscle up in tandem on the new track "Rap On Steroids."

No it's not an April Fools tug, Thought & Royce deliver in spades over a trap-tastic suite, booming and bustling with energy, teasing the notion of a full project. And while we can't say if such a collaborative effort is actually in the works, this should hold you over until something along those lines does, in fact, surface, sending the whole rap game into a frenzy. Hear Black Thought and Royce Da 5'9" roid-out with the rhymes down below and be sure to hold tight for the next transmission from each of these titans. You certainly won't want to miss it.
