In a digital exclusive, legendary rapper and hip hop artist, Royce da 5’9” joins Ari Melber for a wide-ranging conversation about his childhood, hip hop’s historic relationship with Trump, working with Eminem and why he believes his new song “Cocaine” is the “most important” on the album. The song explores addiction, his personal experience with it and how his father is his “hero” for overcoming addiction and choosing his family over cocaine. Royce also discusses hip hop culture, how it is intimately tied with freedom of speech and has become “the biggest thing that we have”. Royce also notes that those who criticize hip hop don’t accept it as poetry and music and that the hypocrisy of accepting Trump but not hip hop music “falls into the racial category”.
