Royal Entry

“The arrival of a monarch, the grand entrance of kings and queens.  From earlier eras the triumphant and joyous entry of the royal family has been known as their Royal Entry.”

             Born in Milton, Florida soon to move to his family’s home in Fayetteville, NC, Royal Entry’s early life was in constant motion.  Taking up residence in Greensboro, NC then Allentown, Pennsylvania and finally back to Fayetteville, NC, where he eventually put down roots.  During that constant upheaval, Entry fell in love with and found solace in Hip Hop.  Drawn to the gritty beats and masterful wordplay of the “Golden Era”, he eventually started to pen his own lyrics.  Drawing inspiration from greats like Biggie, Nas and Scarface, it is easy to see where his style developed from.

In an era where the ability to create and produce music for mass consumption is readily available for anyone with an internet connection, it's easy for artists to get log jammed behind countless numbers of emails, Twitter DM's, Facebook hits and constant requests to "check out my new song" from "up and comers" who put more time into self-promotion than honing their craft.  That's where an artist like Royal Entry stands out from the crowd. Here's an artist who spends more time fine tuning lyrics to make sure listeners connect with the essence of the message than worrying about how many tweets he gets retweeted. Someone who constantly reviews his flow, delivery, presence, and words to make sure no line is wasted. His attention to detail is second to none.

Over the better part of the last decade Entry has mastered his own style of fierce lyricism.  With a distinct in your face, but not over the top delivery and witty wordplay he has the ability to pull listeners in and keep them hanging on every word.  His diversity sets him apart from most with his ability to adapt to any musical concept.  Known for his storytelling, Royal Entry is able to captivate audiences of all ages.   Having released a mixtape and two EP's already.

Even with all of this under his belt Entry has more on tap for the foreseeable future. Having performed shows around the local NC circuit from Raleigh to Wilmington he has his sights set on a much bigger stage. With artists like Royal Entry carrying the torch it's easy to see why the future of Hip Hop looks brighter than ever.
