It comes from the four track, self-titled EP that wasreleased in March, and is intended on being a “stream vaccine” that everyone should go get adose of.“I want listeners to remember this song, and be like, this is a guy who covered a topic thataffected us all,” Regal Rapstar said. “This isn’t just like a regular rap song. It’s like a missile.This isn’t like throwing a firecracker. It’s like a serious potion. That’s for real.”The track starts with an ominous sounding intro and Regal Rapstar saying, “For those who don’tknow, corona means crown in Spanish. The crown virus.”“I’ve got the touch like MidasIt’s Regal Rapstar minus the coronavirus.”It continues: “You got the whole world going berserk, that’s why I want to see coronavirus deadin a hearse.”The beat for “F the Coronavirus” is all his, Regal Rapstar explained, but originally it wassupposed to be a sample of “New York, New York” by the Dogg Pound. Being a producer, he’sgot beats for days, and can pull them out of his back pocket like a magician. Instead of divinginto established old school tracks to pull from, he went for it with his own beat. Regal Rapstarcouldn’t be more pleased with his decision.“I said to myself, why am I going to sample an old beat? Why don’t I go with a crispy new beatinstead of an old vintage hook? That was what’s up.”Regal Rapstar was influenced by hip-hop in his late teens while living in Pasadena, California.He was listening to West Coast rap to start, but what really hit him was the Wu-Tang Clan.At first rapping was just an illusion, he said, and mostly involved just playing around andpracticing. Once he hit his early 20s, he realized that he needed proper production quality. Thisslowed down his career like a brick wall at first, but also led to him learning how to produce. Henever gave up, and once he was able to “put it all together like a sandwich,” that’s when hebegan recording and started his label Regal Records.“I was really good at it, and I knew I was really good at it,” he said. “Listening to a lot of albumsand material gave me more insight than the average person. I had all this data in my brain fromother artists, but I could mix it up and make my own thing. That’s what gave me that edge.”The music video for “F the Coronavirus” is on Youtube, and one that Regal Rapstar says ismuch more than just a video with some words and music.“It’s artistic with good quality production,” he said. “Every musician has it in their heart, and to behonest with you, videos are either hard to make or expensive. This one is real, and well done.”Regal Rapstar said this covers an important topic that affected the whole world, and now thereare even songs to celebrate the overcoming of what occurred on such a grand scale.Be sure to check out “F the Coronavirus” and the self titled EP, available on all platforms.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.
