Rock City (Version 2.0) is the official debut album by rapper Royce Da 5'9", released in 2002. The album was originally titled Rock City, but following heavy bootlegging, it was forced to be released as Version 2.0, which included an updated tracklist. Singles included "Rock City" (Featuring Eminem), "U Can't Touch Me" and "Boom". The title track also features a different beat with less guitars compared to the version on the original album. The newer version is usually attacked by fans for its stripped down hollow beat, while album sales continued to increase.
