"Boom / Soldier's Story" is the acclaimed 1999/2000 debut single by Detroit rapper Royce da 5'9", produced heavily by DJ Premier, which helped launch his underground career. Premo's signature scratching and hard-hitting drum loops showcase Royce's intricate rhyme schemes and technical lyricism that earned him underground renown in Detroit and New York. The B-side, "Soldier's Story," offers a grittier, narrative-driven tone where Royce flexes his storytelling skills over moody production.
