Download Here: Rob Roy “King Warrior Magician Lover”

Happy Monday folks, start your week off straight and DOWNLOAD Rob Roy’s “King Warror Magician Lover”. This album has been out for a year now but has never been released for free download on the internets. Previously it was up on IMEEM (R.I.P) and in the first week he recieved 800,000 thousand plays, shout outs on Kanye’s blog for his video, “Fur In My Cap” (see below) and a slew of critical acclaim. The best way to describe Rob Roy’s music is experimental party jamming free associative existentialism. The beats are dope and his rhymes are way beyond your average cat, and mos def better than any mix tape slated to drop this week guaranteed. GET UP ON MAGIC! Oh and while you’re at it Google up the book “King Warrior Magician Lover” and step your life game up!

I personally love anything Rob Roy is on. His break out album “King Warrior Magician Lover” is the most under rated album of 2009. Throw is some Dude Royal who is a trip watching perform live and you have yourself pure entertainment. I’m loving it. Props to the folks at Dub Frequency.

IT’S TOO MUCH! The folks from Dub Frequency are coming up to Frisco Feb 10th! Plus I see that the homie  Mike Baker The Bike Maker will be rockin the spot along with ROB ROY?!?!?! GET UP ON MAGIC!!!!!

Very rarely does an emcee who rhymes in free associations emerge out of the underground circuit. It’s even more rare that the said emcee is able to craft songs that are not only profound, but also addictive hook heavy sing-a-longs, while layering lyrics over laser sounding synths, twangs, and 808 knocks that transform the reflective nature of those songs into jams with an intensity of booty bass proportions. It sounds impossible but entering into this singular position is the young Duval County raised emcee Rob Roy. Jacksonville Florida was a great place for him to be born. Had he come up in any other city in the country with his same talents and skills, and not drank the same water that birthed crews like “95 South” he wouldn’t be the artist he is today. “On one end it’s frustrating but at the same time it causes you to use your imagination and to aim high,” Rob Roy explains of his home town, which is also home to the United State’s third largest naval base.

That frustration served Rob Roy well. Already a familiar face in Jacksonville’s tiny hip hop scene with no where else to expand, Rob Roy placed his life into a handkerchief, tied it to a stick flung over his shoulder and struck out across country. “For me the quest to complete the album, or the right songs for the album, became a physical trek from one coast to the other. And the journey to finish this album became the journey from adolescence to what would be considered maturity.” It was on this cross continental pilgrimage in pursuit of his “personal legend” (word to Paulo Coelho) that Rob Roy found a place and settled in Los Angeles, where he shot his smash hit video for “Fur In My Cap” backed by Dub Frequency and Alife. Along with attaining his own pair of specially designed and limited Converse kicks fashioned to promote the impending drop of his album “King Warrior Magician Lover” . Rob Roy’s music is making him famous. But what set him apart is his instinct to leap into his imagination, visions, and ambitions then jolting them to life. Partake.
