He is known for his longtime association with Eminem and for his solo career, recording primarily with Carlos "6 July" Broady and DJ Premier, as well as ghostwriting for the likes of Diddy and Dr. Dre. Royce is one half of the rap duo Bad Meets Evil with Eminem and also a member of hip hop group Slaughterhouse.

Ryan Montgomery was born and raised on the West side of Detroit, Michigan on W. McNichols & Wyoming Ave. He moved to Oak Park, Michigan when he was 10 years old, later acquiring the nickname "Royce" during high school after wearing a Turkish link chain with an R pendant resembling the Rolls Royce symbol. He started rapping at age 18, influenced mainly by Ras Kass and Redman. He signed his first deal in 1998 with Tommy Boy Records, after the label shut down, he signed a deal with Columbia where he started recording an album called Rock City, referring to Detroit's former status as home to Motown Records. When the project was heavily bootlegged, Royce left the label for Koch to re-record some of the album, eventually releasing it in 2002 as Rock City (Version 2.0). While the album did not sell very well, the DJ Premier-produced single "Boom" gained Royce some underground recognition and eventually resulted in the two working together more closely.

After releasing his album Guess Who's Back? in 2002, Jackson was discovered by rapper Eminem and signed to Interscope Records. With the help of Eminem and Dr. Dre, who produced his first major commercial successes, Jackson became one of the world's highest selling rappers.

NYC Detective Archie Banks is aboard the train guarding the Sultan of Padaya, owner of a precious gem called "Star of the World." Archie gets the Sultan's consent to allow Miss Roma to wear the gem in a film, feeling that the publicity will entice Sophie out of retirement to steal the stone, and he can get some publicity himself by capturing her in the attempt. But Crayson steals the jewel and tries to escape with it, but is captured by Rollyn. Clayson escapes and finds Sophie. He tells her that Rollyn is an ex-thief, and she must help him steal the diamond again, or he will expose Rollyn and ruin his career.

Porter
Every time we say goodbye
I die a little
Every time we say goodbye
I wonder why a little
Why the Gods above me
who must be in the know
Think so little of me
They allow you to go
When you're near
there's such an air
of Spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
begin to sing about it
Theres no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Every time we say goodbye
(Porter)
My story is much too sad to be told,
But practically everything leaves me totally cold.
The only exception I know is the case,
When I'm out on a quiet spree fightly vainly the old ennui,
And I suddenly turn and see your fabulous face!
I get no kick from champagne, mere alcohol doesn't thrill me
at all,
So tell me why should it be true, that I get a kick out of you?
Some get a kick from cocaine, I'm sure that if I took even
one sniff
That would bore me terrifically, too, yet I get a kick out of
you.
I get a kick every time I see you're standing there before me.
I get a kick though it's clear to me, you obviously don't
adore me.
I get no kick in a plane, flying too high with some gal in the
Is my idea of nothing to do, yet I get a kick out of you!
(Porter)
I was going your way and it was plain to see
You were going mine
We were both searching for some way
To leave some old memories behind.
(Pamela)
Somebody broke my heart
AAnd I could tell somebody let you down
We were two lonely people
Two lonely people on the rebound.
(Both)
You cried on my shoulder for a while
Then we turned it around
I told you about her, and I told you about him
Then we found, then we found.
Just like the sun left yesterday
And finally went down
The old love is gone
And a new love was born on the rebound.
--- Instrumental ---
(Porter)
We were brought together
Each looking for an understanding smile
Someone just talk to and sit
And reminisce for a while.
(Pamela)
We picked up the pieces like
Scattered yesterdays on the ground
Yes we found each other
Two lonely people on the rebound.
(Both)
You cried on my shoulder for a while
Then we turned it around
I told you about her, and I told you about him
Then we found, then we found.
Just like the sun left
Yesterday it finally went down
The old love is gone and a new love
Was born on the rebound
The old love is gone and a new love
