Microdose is executive produced by Royce and Keith Pay Cash Miller, and also features Conway the Machine, Skilla Baby, Black Thought and Symba among others.

Courtney Bell expresses his excitement about the new single in a statement: “This record for me is a statement, not only for myself but for the Westside of my city of Detroit and everyone that comes from it.

Playing the role of Neo, with Royce as Morpheus, Courtney Bell, known for pushing creative boundaries, aims to deliver a sonic experience that mirrors his character’s eye-opening journey, breaking new ground for his generation.

Courtney Bell: “Royce told me that I’m next. I’m a call away from Eminem”

Detroit rapper Courtney Bell visited Los Angeles’ Power 106 for his Fred style with The LA Leakers. Over Tupac and Notorious B.I.G. instrumentals, the Detroit emcee spits fire while shouting out Royce Da 5’9,″ Eminem, Big Sean and paying respects to the late King Von and Nipsey Hussle.

“Royce told me that I’m next
I’m Damn near label to go
The gatekeepers got the keys and code
And I want them both…
I’m call away from Em
A text away from Sean
I’m page away from Royce
I get respected by Gods”

After the freestyle, Courtney Bell gives shout out to Royce, Eminem and Big Sean: “Shout out to Royce, Em and Sean. Detroit GOATs.” Watch it below:

After releasing several singles, Courtney Bell is building the hype for the release of his follow-up to 2018’s album “10 Commandments” by dropping another single “Lion’s Den,” featuring Shady Records Boogie from forthcoming project “Poverty Stricken.”

Our boy Boogie bodied the track with reggae influenced verse and smooth, jazzy hook. Most notable lyrics are:

“Know my heart is not on auction…
Back to that packing TS at the Target…
Back to the hood, I turn office to the apartments…
I am poverty stricken, I got optimum vision…
Been transparent since the day that my father was missing…”
