Originally released January 2009 on The Smoking Section: "Royce Da 5'9 is lyricist and mic controller of the highest order with cosigns from Hip-Hop legends Eminem and DJ Premier, and he adds to his legacy with the release of a new mixtape, Growth & Patience: The Best Of Royce Volume 1. Linking up with fellow Midwesterner Trackstar The DJ, Detroit native Royce drops a collection of his grimiest lyrical gems for a diamond-in-the-rough compilation of tracks from his studio releases, featured appearances and previous mixtapes. Growth & Patience brought to you by The Smoking Section is ether to strike the senses before Royce releases his highly anticipated 2009 solo-LP, Street Hop (M.I.C./One Records)." Remember this mix?
