The Dead Or Alive era

What has surfaced of the 9 entries the tracker files under Dead Or Alive: 1 in full and 8 unavailable.

Dead Or Alive is an album Royce was working on after Rock City 2.0 that was going to be darker in sound, like a proto Death Is Certain. This was due to his beef with D12 starting during this era and the stress of dealing with his label situation. Dead Or Alive is a fairly unknown Royce project with only a small idea of what the album was going to sound like (thanks to the "Raw Sessions" mixtapes).
