Critics say:
“Royce da 5’9″ is on a lyrical killing spree.” — Vibe
“‘Book Of Ryan’ continues a four-year, six-album streak of top-tier lyricism, with noted personal and artistic growth in the process. His 2018 output will not only earn him noted respect as one of the best lyricists of the year but in rap as a whole.” — Hip Hop DX
“Even 20 years into his career, Royce maintains his reputation as one of hip-hop’s premier rappers by releasing his most affecting work yet.”

“This is a memoir, seemingly written as a look back on the journey in a way that is highly-engaging for all. If there is a collection of songs to understand what makes Royce 5’9 great at rapping and making art, ‘Book Of Ryan’ belongs on the shelf.” — Ambrosia For Heads
