Royce’s Bad Meets Evil partner-in-rhyme Eminem is set to appear on Sean Don’s upcoming fourth album I Decided. Other guests include Jhené Aiko and The-Dream.
Recently, the TWENTY88 spitter opened up about the album’s concept.
“I realized my whole life changed when I Decided. that life is about making the right decisions or the wrong decisions,” he explained. “The story of the album is, imagine going through life and you’ve made all the wrong decisions your whole life. You get to the end of your life and you say, ‘God, I did everything wrong. I didn’t work it out with the love of my life. I messed up with my parents. I’m not doing the job I was sent here for.’ Imagine something happens and you get one chance to redo it all. The album is basically a chance, to have that wisdom of an old man while you’re young, and going through life to figure it out.”
I Decided. arrives Feb. 3.
