Royce Da 5'9” has recently dropped his newest album, "Layers" under his own label, Bad Half Ent. "**Layers**" is 5 years in the making and his most congressional. 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.

My guest this week is Doc Waffles, a tight Detroit MC. He’s been releasing great records since 2006’s Golf View Drive. I first became aware of him through his appearances in the Grind Time battle league, and I later became a fan of his music after we played a show together in Detroit. He talks about his days as a battle rapper, and how he sizes up the battle rap world today. He tells me about his various writing styles, and how he’s continued to change up his approach through the years. We talk about his collaborations with Eddie Logix, and their new album, This Week In Baseball. Mike Riley’s art this week is an homage to Sir Mix-a-Lot’s Seminar. This episode is hosted by Splice Today.

As we always do, we talk about his early days coming up in Detroit, guidance from a family member who was part of a seminal R&B group out of #Chattanooga, developing his craft during his time at #Morehouse in ATL and Detroit and bursting onto the scene the late 00’s. Of course we talk a little #Dilla and also get into Finale’s experience as an auto engineer in #MotorCity, including a great story about a former boss that helped him burn #CDs !

This week on The Library, Tim talks to Detroit MC, Red Pill about his debut album for Mello Music Group "Look What This World Did To Us." What was the goal of the album? Red Pill tells Tim "I wanted to make this record kind of like a novel, where you listen to it and it almost sounds like an old dusty used book; where it smells like that, where it feels like that...Even in the recording process its got a real dusty feel that I like."
