Album Description

This electric four-piece lineup delivers a new independent Chicago sound; from sexed-up, sugary sweet hits and intense dark epics, to bangin' live hip-hop beats (featuring MC Qwel of Typical Cats on two tracks). Their sound, led by producer DJ White Lightning on the boards and low end, is driven by deep bass, tight percussion, and melodies that will make even the most hard core stop and smell the roses. With their debut album "Subtleties of the Game", these native Chicago artists have created a peerless record good for the drive, the barbeque and any intimate moment in between. Released on Chicago's prominent hip-hop label Galapagos4, this group's album will appeal to a wide range of music fans. Royce shapes together unique compositions with influences that span from James Brown to Brian Wilson, Chicago House to Brazilian Tropicália, T-Rex to Too Short. Royce lays down the heart and soul from the tradition of independent Chicago music.

4 out of 5 stars Royce got game!.......2003-08-27

I am a big fan of underground hiphop. I usually dont listen to much experimental rock, but when I heard this album I changed my mind. This album blends together the perfect balance of raw underground hiphop with experimental rock and pop. Subtleties of the Game opens up with a covetous jam by qwel called "The Elephant", It has a moody vibe with a dirty live drum break. The album then transforms into a dark instrumental jam called mistress black. Then comes the real Royce with a tantelizing epic called "Prosthetica$$" This work of art has exotic transitions from fast house to arena rock to hiphop break beats with insane Italian singing, not to be missed. The other hot pop songs are secret secrets, dont go, I know that youre nervous and shootin the curl. And again at the end Royce ties the album back to their Chicago hip hop routes with another appearence by qwel in elevation evaluation where he spells it out. . . make sure to check this one out, its super fresh
