PRhyme features production by DJ Premier, as well as samples from psychedelic soul composer and producer Adrian Younge. The album was supported by the single “Courtesy”.- Wiki

“Part of the magic of PRhyme lies in its murky depths, which come courtesy of Younge’s soulful live compositions sampled by Premier in a rare deviation from his typical exploratory tactics. Premier has always had a penchant for sampling whatever he stumbles upon, but the refined selection of this endeavour, despite mildly restricting the great producer, makes for a cohesive listening experience. While there is no diversity in source material there is in sound, and Younge’s wide-ranging works make for a dark, gritty soundbed. The sounds pop crisply beneath evenly measured flows, both from the album’s leading man and a host of very capable guests, creating harmony.” - HipHopDX
