Royce 5’9 ‘s unwavering passion for music and hunger for the game keeps him in the studio day and night. For further proof, look no further then the amount of music he will be releasing over the course of the next three months, which will undeniably validate Royce’s place in the pantheon of Hip-Hop’s elite lyricists.

While Royce preps the release of his highly-anticipated “Street Hop” LP, (which will be released on 9-22-09) which is executive-produced by DJ Premier and has already generated overwhelming critical accolades alone with the release of street-singles “Shake This” and “Part Of Me” and the forthcoming self-titled debut LP from the buzz worthy Bi-Coastal conglomerate Slaughterhouse (Royce 5’9, Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz & Crooked I) this summer.

On the heels of both releases, Royce will first be releasing a Digital only EP entitled “The Revival.” “The Revival” will be released on 7-7-09 and it will include new tracks from Royce’s “Street Hop” LP along with a new unreleased Slaughterhouse track and will be available at all major digital retailers. Royce will also be debuting a new single and video for “The Revival” in the very immediate future. Likewise, each member of Slaughterhouse will also be releasing a new digital EP throughout the month of July and each release will contain a new Slaughterhouse track that will not be included on their debut.

With so much good music ready to be unleashed on the masses Royce asserts “I’m looking forward to releasing new music and touring this summer. Street Hop has been in the works for almost 2 years and the release date will be here before you know it. The Revival will give people a chance to see what I’ve been up to and what to expect from the album. The month of July will belong to Slaughterhouse with the release of our full length group album and solo EP’s from me followed by Joell, Joey and Crooked. We will show fans why we are the ones to watch.”

NEW YORK, NY, May 22, 2008 – Abandoned Nation’s own Mr. Mecca releases the much-anticipated single, “Blaze Em Up” featuring Royce 5’9″ and Kid Vishus, the first shot from his upcoming mixtape “The Cover Run”.

Malik Rashawn, Jamaica, Queens-native, also known as Mr. Mecca, made a name for himself in the underground New York hip-hop scene not only as a formidable battle emcee but also as a live performer commanding stages and captivating audiences in various venues throughout the metropolis.

Mecca teamed up with the NYC based Hip-Hop Karaoke crew (www.hiphopkaraokenyc.com) to create his upcoming debut mixtape The Cover Run with features by popular recording artist like Charles Hamilton, SkyZoo, Donny Goines Sha Stimuli, as the first peek into the arsenal of beats and lyrics that are expected to explode onto the music scene. This single undoubtedly brings a new style and energy to the Hip-Hop stage.

“I just talk about real life on some real topic shit. We ain’t all thugs,” says Mecca. “I’ve punched many people in the face and never sold a drug in my life. I’ve seen the hardest gangstas laugh their asses off and eat cereal. Nobody is grinding it out 24 hours a day. There are other parts of the hood besides that and if you let me, I’ll show you.”
