PRhyme is an American hip hop duo composed of Detroit-based rapper Royce da 5'9" and New York–based record producer DJ Premier. They created their own record label PRhyme Records and released their first album, PRhyme, on December 9, 2014, and its follow-up, PRhyme 2, on March 16, 2018.{{cite web|url=https://www.npr.org/2018/03/08/591203534/first-listen-prhyme-prhyme-2 |title=First Listen: PRhyme 2 |last=Carmichael |first=Rodney |work=NPR Music |date=March 8, 2018 |accessdate=March 9, 2018}} The production of each album is based on sampling a single artist's compositions: Adrian Younge for PRhyme and AntMan Wonder for PRhyme 2.{{cite web |url=http://www.xxlmag.com/news/2014/09/prhyme-album-tracklist/ |title=Prhyme Announce Collaboration LP That Features Jay Electronica, Common, ScHoolboy Q And More |last=Diep |first=Eric |work=XXL |date=September 24, 2014 |accessdate=March 9, 2018}} When the concept was originally pitched to Premier, he viewed it as a challenge since he recognized that he was previously known for his beats from obscure samples from many different sources, and this project forced him to find what he needed from a single catalogue of work.{{cite web|url=http://www.thefader.com/2018/03/16/dj-premier-royce-da-5-9-prhyme-interview |title=DJ Premier and Royce da 5'9" are having fun on their hip-hop victory lap |last=Hussein |first=Wandara |work=Fader |date=March 16, 2019 |accessdate=April 18, 2018}} For PRhyme 2, Royce described the process of receiving compositions to work off of directly from AntMan Wonder as being "like sampling from Mozart but Mozart is actually giving you the music". The duo also appeared on the Southpaw soundtrack. In 2021, DJ Premier confirmed PRhyme 3 is in the works.{{cite web | url=https://hiphop-n-more.com/2021/11/dj-premier-reveals-prhyme-3-with-royce-59-is-in-the-works/ | title=DJ Premier Reveals 'PRhyme 3' Album with Royce 5'9" is in the Works | date=18 November 2021 }}
