Tommy Boy Records, his first label, ultimately shut down, and he secured a deal with Columbia Records. His first album, "Rock City", was leaked, and he left Columbia and re-recorded much of the material. The official release was ultimately unsuccessful, however. In the late 90s, he teamed up with Eminem, recording under the name, Bad Meets Evil. The duo released multiple tracks, and Royce da 5'9″ appeared on Eminem's debut album, but the two had a falling out a few years later, and went their separate ways. He went on to release four albums, and spent a year in jail for a DUI in 2007. He and Eminem buried the hatchet in 2010, and their new collaboration, "Hell: The Sequel", was released in June of 2011. He is now recording as part of the supergroup, Slaughterhouse.
