The Library with Tim Einenkel

The Library: Royce Da 5'9": A Storyteller with Clear and Concise Thoughts

Royce Da 5'9â has recently dropped his newest album, Layers under his own label, Bad Half Ent. Layers is 5 years in the making and his most confessional. He touches on his struggle with alcoholism and infidelity and his son's autism. The Detroit MC sat down on The Library with Tim Einenkel to talk about the new album, about improving himself by going to therapy, and his hesitancy to be so open with his fans. He tells Tim: "I did worry about coming out and being forthcoming with information about my sobriety and being open and honest with my fans. I did worry about possibly people looking at me like 'nah, we prefer the drunk Royce. We don't want this guy,' then, maybe then, I'd have to think of something else to do because I was willing to take that risk for my family and for my health. "
