In the midst of his current projects with Slaughterhouse, DJ Premier and the soundtrack for “Southpaw,” Royce Da 5’9″ has decided to collaborate with Russell Simmons’ rising star and protege Lazarus. The track is called “Underdog.” The legendary Chuck D of Public Enemy, introduces this track.
Lazarus is an emcee with much eloquence, energy and charisma. This remarkably talented emcee brings the aggressiveness of 2pac, the lyrical genius of Eminem, a cadence like Nas and vocabulary like the Wu-Tang. “Underdog” relates to the everyday common man, yet delivered in a very uncommon way. The song is lyrically compelling. After one listen, you will want rewind and dissect each and every bar.
