Book of Ryan

Detroit's Royce da 5'9" is easily one of the best lyricists in Hip Hop, but with the Book of Ryan he goes even farther and created an amazingly personal album.  He crafted songs that paint ultra vivid pictures of all stages of his life, and they also leave you singing the chorus for days after.   Leaving nothing back he creates highly emotional works that leave you feeling like you were there on the Boblo Boat or fighting with his brother Greg among many other scenes from his life he presents.  If you like excellent Hip Hop that packs an honest and emotional punch you have got to give this a try.
