 Good, we good. Good, we good. Hey, what's up with y'all? Y'all know what time it is, man. It's Bobby everything with the Crock-Pock Cartel. Coming at y'all with an exclusive interview with my dog, Regal 6, man. Regal 6, what's going on with you, man? What up, what up with y'all? Y'all already know what it is, man. Same old struggle, man. You all right, you know? Yeah, it's good to see you, my boy. It's good. Go ahead and introduce yourself to the viewers. Let them know a little bit about yourself. Maybe, like, where you're from, how old you are, how long you been doing music. You know, a quick background. Yeah, check it, though. I've been doing music probably since I was, like, a jit. So that's, like, six or something, you know what I mean? I remember watching Michael Jackson and all that stuff, you know what I'm saying? What's his name? Ted and Campbell, all that type of stuff like that. You know what I'm saying? Like, stuff like that. I'm from Virginia. Anybody familiar with the area? 757 Tattwater area. I'm from a city out of there, Portsmouth. Notable from there. Missy Elliott is our only notable from there, Portsmouth, Virginia. But shout out to Portsmouth, Virginia. Shout out 757. This is my name, Regal Six. I've been doing music, like I said, for a little minute now. I'm really getting a little push from it, you know what I'm saying? Like, I'm just different, you know what I mean? You just got to come mess with the bag. You know anything about, yeah, you know, we have melting part, you know what I'm saying? So come rock with me. Where'd you come up with that name, Regal Six? Really, for real, my handle used to be Rugal Rail. But I was like, I can't really market Rugal Rail because it's not a marketable name. So what I did, I went in the dictionary, and I went in the dictionary, and I looked up King, but everybody got the name King. So I was like, OK, well, with something that mean King, but me and Roy were don't nobody really use. So it took me like probably like two weeks, man. I finally came up with Rugal, you know what I'm saying? So that's the first part of it. Plus, my name is Rail anyway. So Rugal Rail, you know what I'm saying? The R is already, you know what I'm saying? It flowed, and the Six come from because, you know what I'm saying? I'm a Gemini, so my birthday June 6th, you know what I'm saying? So it was like Royal Six, you feel me? So that's why I came up with the name. Man, it's kind of like I can market it, you know what I'm saying? When I do my modeling, Rugal Six, you know what I'm saying? My brand is Rugal Six, so it just flowed. That's what's up, man. That's what's up. Like a lot of people just be throwing shit together. Like it really don't even have no meaning. So, you know, it's nice to see that you got a little bit of meaning behind your shit. I heard you just say something about modeling. Tell us a little bit about that, man. How'd you get into the modeling? And how's that been going for you? Have you seen any success with that? Like how passionate are you about the modeling? Well, with the modeling, I might get into it. Quick story. When I was a youngster, we used to have a family. And you use it, whatever my mom and dude used to make me and my brother model. She used to do the whole little talent show with this job. So we used to model and stuff. And then since there, it just kind of took on. So then I came home and then I got into it or whatever. I got it doing it with Instagram. I'd done some modeling like with some Instagram people with the tattoos, you know what I'm saying? Because I got a lot of tattoos. So really, that's where I got a bigger following that with the tattoos and the modeling or whatever. But I'd be putting my name and stuff or book, you know, whatever. But like, I'm just serious with it too, like with everything. Because I'm just a creator. So whatever I look into creating, I want to create. You know what I'm saying? I want to act. I want to do it all. Are you feeling me? Yes. Go ahead and tell us about some of them tattoos, man. Like maybe tell us about the first one and your favorite one. My first one, right? I got it when I was like 16. So when I got it, it's my grandma name. Then I got my mama name. And then I got the word Nino going up my arm. So I know he pulls a hammer at 16. So I get him at 16. So I'm like, I'm flexing, you know what I'm saying? Shirt off. I think I'm hard. I got three tattoos. Got my mama name. I got my nickname Nino. You know what I'm saying? Nino was something that I called myself to because this one I was little because my favorite move was New Jack City. So I used to watch that movie every single day, dog. I'm talking about New Jack City. I used to watch that tape to the tape pop. So when I moved to Maryland, because I was staying in Virginia, then I moved to Maryland. So when I went to Maryland, I was telling everybody, yeah, my name Nino, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, my name Nino. So I got that tattoo on me or whatever. My most favorite tattoo. I would have to say if I had to pick one, I would have to pick the piece I got on my leg for my cousins and stuff that passed away. If I would have to say that's the most favorite one. Got it in? Yeah, man. I actually got a tattoo appointment coming up next month, man. I'm kind of excited for it, but I'm also kind of like, damn, it's a five hour session on the side. Oh yeah, that's not real, boy. That's not real, that's not real. But I love it. I'm looking for the next convention to come through here. Down here in Atlanta, I'm gonna go to the tattoo convention because I got like over 200 tattoos, you know what I'm saying? So that's something I'm into too. So how long you been staying down there in Atlanta? Right now it's going on like three years. You like it down there, more than VA? Yeah, it's cool. You know what I'm saying? Home is home, but down here is a lot of opportunity, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's just easier to make it from where I come from, from Virginia, where everything is tight and you gotta fight for everything, you feel me? Damn, you got to fight for a job, huh? Hey, ain't no damn near you gotta fight for. You still might, don't get it. It's plentiful and GA, ain't it? Yeah, it is, yeah. All you got to do is come down here with some drive and the idea and you gonna boom, bro. And that's real life, bro. So how long have you been actively recording music? When would you say your force for the song was dropped? 2018, I came home and recorded. You go look at my music. Guys, follow me on Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube, major platforms, you go look at my music. Really, King is my first one I recorded. But really, Homie, the song Homie is just, I recorded at my first day at home when I came home from incarceration. So really, I would say when I recorded Homie, King, so that's like 2018. Like, I came home, it's straight first day when I straightened to the booth and recorded, you feel me? Tell us a little bit about that incarceration. Oh, yeah, I did like, well, you know, like I did. I did 11 years and I would say eight months you did on some, everybody say on some shit like, I'm in it. Everybody be like, yeah, I'm in it. I said, I ain't do it for real. I'm in it. But yeah, I did my time. You know what I'm saying? I did a whole decade in Virginia DLC. Came home, came home April 2018 and just really got to it. You know what I'm saying? Virginia came down here to Atlanta because my brother was already set up down here, BT in the building. You can follow him on Instagram here, producer. So I already came down here to rock with him and then I just came down here and stayed. And then I came down here and planted my flag. Now I got a whole career family, the whole nine, you know what I mean? But I came down here with success when it was like he was saying like, well, I'm from to have as many strikes. Like I had like, I got a nine felons and had like nine felons, a whole bunch of tattoos just come home and all that stuff, like it's hard. And they said to say, but when I'm from, it's hard when you come home, like they gonna judge you, you still getting judged for some stuff you did when you was a kid. You know what I'm saying? So then that's how you fall back into the system. So coming out here with a brush for sure because they accepted me and now I'm doing good. Yeah, that's a beautiful thing, man, because I know how it is, man. I know how it is coming home, being a felon and you know, trying to do the right thing and getting shut down. And then that just force you. Well, it don't force you, but you know, it just make it seem a lot easier just to jump back in the streets and make it very more appeal. Very more. Then you on your way back to prison. You know what I'm saying? It's a vicious cycle. It's a vicious cycle, man. But you know, from the looks of it, you broke the cycle. And you know, from the looks of it, I finally broke the cycle this time. So you know. Question we broke it. Is there so like also, I heard you say that you went down to Atlanta and started a family. So you met somebody down there and. Passing it. Yeah, well, I already had a daughter previously. I said my daughter 15 already had a daughter, but then I came down here in my my baby moment. Now we live together now. Yeah, we had two kids. I got two little boys. One one nine months in the other four. Yeah, so they keep me. They keep me plenty busy. I already know how that is. Plenty busy. But it's a beautiful situation, though. Yeah, for sure, man. Like I feel like being called in that vicious cycle, you know, with the street life and in and out of prison. I was focused so much on myself. You know, I was being selfish when when really I should have just been focused on my kids. And then I probably wouldn't have ended up going back and forth and back and forth to prison. So like once I finally grasped that concept like, man. Instead of being selfish, I need to be selfless. That's right. That's when everything really, really started to turn around for me. And real G talk, though, come on. I had my daughter had my daughter. I was like, I was in my 20s when I had her. People like, well, you have your first child. I'm supposed to slow you down. But I'm like, nah, I was still I'm already I was just still about see, I'm saying self, you know, I'm saying I won't selfless. You know what I'm saying? But when I got forced to sit down and you already know the stuff you go through an enduring there, you have for you forced to let that stuff go if you want to make it out. So then I come and you know, I'm saying I adapted that with that. That's real G talk, though. So what would you say inspires your music? For what you mean by inspire, for it's like creation wise, for it's like inspiration. Maybe like give us some some. Things that inspire you like other artists or or or previous genres and then maybe like tell us a little bit about what what inspires your writing process. You can so when it goes to like influence, I'll go all the way back to digible planets. Digible Planet was the first rap album I ever bought. My pops let me and my brother get some rap albums. Of course, it was no cussing. If y'all don't know who Digible Planet is, go look them up. Well, I got my first job and that's what kind of turned me on. But then other than that, I have big influences from of course, Teddy Pina grass to the Isley Brothers to Michael Jackson to NWA to Prince to Biggie Smalls to Wu-Tang the hot boy. She's like, I'm like a real melting pot. Like I say, like where I'm from, everything come in there. So like my influence go on and on and on and on. I can talk to you about Big Daddy Kang. I can talk to you about Cypress Hill. You know what I'm saying? I can talk to you about. I can talk to you about Dr. Dre. I can talk to you about EZE. You know what I'm saying? I can talk to you. We can go on DJ quick. You know what I'm saying? Wherever region you want to go, I can go because I'm just love I just love music. But if I had to say hands down, who inspired me? It would be Michael Jackson. That's hands down who inspired me just because you're seeing him in concert. This is the fact and the things that he did just as a child had affected me, like made me want to do that. And then far as my writing process, my writing process, I'm a writer. So really I tell stories. All my songs you've listened to, I'm telling the story. So either I'm telling the story is something I experienced. Or something I visualized and I experienced. So that's something I've seen. You feel me? So that's my writing process. So I write about my feelings and how I feel and things that I've experienced. You feel what I'm saying? And how did it affect me? So you would never really hear me making no braggadocious rap or whatever, nothing against it. But I won't probably really make them songs until I attain it, you know what I'm saying? Because that's just the type of writer I am. I got to write about actual experiences and actual things that I had been through. Yeah, bro, I can definitely relate to you because, you know, Michael Jackson was always my favorite, too. Ha, ha, ha. I was a big Michael Jackson fan, man. I love MJ. First it was Elvis, then it was MJ. Ha, ha, ha. Yeah. So how many songs would you say you got recorded right now? Bro, like 30, 30, 40. See, it's hard. Like I'd be minding projects. I probably got like four or five projects in the clip right now that I can just drop like boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. So yeah. Do you record your own music or are you going to local studios? It's a little bit of both. Like I said, I was going to record with my brother, B.T. in the building. He got his own studios and stuff like that. And I also was going to this place called Bravo Productions. You know what I'm saying? This is Bravo Studios. It's out here in Atlanta. You can look them up, too, on Instagram at Bravo Studios at B.T. in the building. So they really be the home two places I have recorded. I really don't like to go a whole bunch of places and record my music because I just know how the game going. I know how masters work and all that stuff. So I really be smart and selective about my recording. So you haven't got a home set up yet? Not in my house, no, not yet. Like I said, when I move, when I move finally and I move to a crib, I get it set up right now. But no, not right now, though. So that's definitely something that you want to do in the future, though, is be able to record and mix and produce your own music. Right, record, mix. Like I said, because I'm into creating anyway. So I want to have a studio and I could record, mix, do photography, do graphic design. I want a studio that I can do all that stuff, even do stuff like that, like podcasts, film, direct, all type of stuff like that, too. Because I was going to Atlanta Technical College for film and photography. So that's something I do want to get into. But I know I do have to have a home studio and the recording is just more important than the lens. Yeah, of course. So who is producing all your music right now, your brother? Yeah, he produced, we're pretty much that's well with what's coming out now and there was a lot. That's Bravo Studios. It varies, Bravo Studios. But between those songs that I have, it's between Bravo Studios and BT and the building. So like as far as going and finding beats on the internet, YouTube beats, you doing that? Really not really, for real, for real. If I do do it, it's very vague. But I'd probably do it every now and then like an hour to reach out to the producer and then start to the producer. But one producer that I'm really going to really, really do some work with, this project that I have coming up with is Swag Beat. He, matter of fact, he out of Cleveland, a matter of fact, I'm not mistaken. Yeah, he from Cleveland, Swag Beat. You might want to check him out, bro, dope. I'm definitely going to get a lot of his beats, too. Where'd you get hip to him at? Honestly, when I was incarcerated, we used to have these kiosks, Johnston. They used to give us these clairs. And these players, the J, yeah, plug them up. So when you plug them up, you know what I'm saying? You can get instrumentals and stuff. So I had started back getting into the music stuff and Swag Beat, stuff used to come up. So his stuff came up, Swag Beat, volume one, volume two. You can get it for like, I think it was a deal, too. You get like two of them jokes for like, 1999, you know what I'm saying? And I wrote it every last, it's like, every last song we hear. So then when I came home, I looked broke up and broke out a whole catalog out. So I'm like, dang, I'm a really rocker, bro. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, that's what's up. So like, if you was to explain your music to a new listener, how would you explain it? I would say it's the art of storytelling with major expression. And drunken sound. Well, okay, Dan, I like the drunken sound. Yeah, because I like to play with sounds. If you hear all my songs, they really not, you can hear my voice, but I really try to push the sound and flirt with sound and stuff like that. So yeah. So what you got in store for? 2022, I'm releasing my debut mixtape was going to be called Heartbreak Kid. I'm also probably gonna release my graphic novel this year to deadly, deadly friends. That's probably pretty much it. I'm really gonna push this, I'm really pushing this mixtape, man, cause I push this mixtape all the way to the end of the year. I might do a couple of features with some of my bros over there but work on these visuals, man, and push the project, man, to keep pushing the brand. You already know, every day, work day. Heartbreak King? Yep. What's the label called? My label is Jim Life. Yep, Jim Life, LLC, that's my label. And the inspiration behind the name of that is Jim Life because I'm a Gemini and then I also mess around with the boxing and stuff. So, and also it's this gem, you know what I'm saying, this gem, it's like a, what you say, a ton, a double, what is it, a double? Double Lawn Tron? Yeah, yeah, that part because it's gem and it's spelled G-E-M and then it's Life spelled with Y-P-H, you know what I'm saying? So, it's a double, you know what I mean, but yeah. So, yeah. So, tell us a little bit about that graphic novel. The graphic novel, I wrote it, I wrote it probably like, probably like four years ago I wrote it and basically it's about a girl, she's an orphan, but she's an orphan and she remember why she's an orphan and she just remember like a tragic event, you know what I'm saying, a tragic event happened, she witnessed her mom would get murdered, she run, she run and when she runs, she comes in and she goes in the streets and when she comes in the street, she becomes like this queen of thieves, you know what I'm saying, like because she get befriended by this old lost in the thief and he teach her how to be a thief. So, she can't read, she can't do nothing, but she becomes a master thief. But in between becoming a master thief, she run across somebody that's tied into her mama and she found out why her mama was killed and she found out why she's so good at being a thief and then it keeps going on and on from there. It's dope though. So, basically it's like a triple crown. Yeah, yep. You know I'm hip to them triple crowns? Yeah, question. Cartel, cartel one, two, three, four, yeah. But it's more of a, but she's like, yeah, it's more of a, but it got like an anime twist to it too because like she's gonna find out she's an assassin. Her mama wasn't assassin, but then she is not just an assassin, her brother, she do her blood trail and then go back to Asian. She come from some powerful monks. Like when I say the storyline crazy. Yeah, the plot thickens. It thickens, G. So, when you say graphic novel, like do you mean like the text, like the subject matter is graphic or all right. So a comic, all right, yeah, yeah. I don't know what's graphic novels. So, all of that is designed by you, all of the artwork is you? You know, I haven't got the artwork yet. I'm looking for artists. So if there's any artists out there that's looking to collab or an illustration with the graphic novel, hit me up on Instagram at Regal Six or you know what I'm saying, hit me up on YouTube at Regal Six or on Gmail, RegalSix.com and Gmail because that's what I need and that's what kind of helped me all for putting it out because I need somebody to do the illustration. Yeah, that would be dope, man. And you know, there's a lot of talent that comes into the live stream. And somebody actually just hit me up last night and was like, yo, I do artwork and graphics. Ask me if I wanted a logo. So maybe I can plug you in with them. That right there will probably be pretty dope to see y'all meet up off of the Crock-Pock cartel and be able to, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. Getting that Crock-Pock. Yeah. Really? Yeah. So like if you had to compare yourself to an artist that's out right now or an artist that you listen to growing up. Well, let's say compare yourself to an artist that you listen to growing up and then compare yourself to an artist that's out right now. That's a good question. Compare myself to an artist that I say growing up. I would have to say that's tough. And like you can even be like, maybe like Michael Jackson with a little bit of, you know what I'm saying? It would have to be some busy bone. It would have to be some bone thugs and harmony on my harmonizing. This coming up. And it had to be like on a slick rig, Snoop Dogg on the storytelling. And like far as like my lyrics, it had to be like back in the day. It had to be like probably like a prodigy. You know what I'm saying? Like, you know what I'm saying? A prodigy because my style kind of, I'm on polishing the concert rapping. Now, if I would have to say now, that's tough now. Now, because I kind of like, I'm like a melting pot still. So now I would have to say it's tough. Jesus, it's tough. Y'all had to say now. I would have to say people like St. John, people like Don, Don, Don, Don, people like Don Kennedy, Wiz Khalifa, R.I.P. Dolph. Like I'm my style. Like I'm more of the aunt, G. Herbal. Like people that's not like you're not like your typical status quo sound. You feel me? Yeah, so who is a three artist right now that you would want to feature with? Why? Okay, for one, like I said, Don Talibah, because he just, I mean, I like his sound, like the way he unique. I like the way he look at music. I like the way he go about his project. I like that he writes 90% all his music. I like he do all his production and all that stuff. So I think me and him definitely can make some crazy music. Also, Summer Walker. I really, I really love her sound, her voice. I was telling my brother the other day, I'm like, man, I don't know what it is. It's like, I'm just in love with her voice. Like I almost like had Irka, but I do used to have me back in day. Like it's just, I don't care what Shorty's singing about. It's like... It just sound good. Yeah, and I'm gonna do a record with her or write a record with her or whatever. She nice, she nice, she real nice. She definitely, she definitely hot, man. And then I had to say like, for hometown, like Pusha T, I love to do something for hometown for 7, 5, 7, Pusha T. Yeah. I fuck with Push, man. I fuck with Push. No question. But Prodigy too, I fuck with Prodigy too. Oh yeah, Prodigy, all right, be proud of you. I remember when he first died, I was seeing memes like, Jesus, why couldn't have you had took Havoc? Oh wow, that's crazy. Oh wow, I ain't ever seen her like that. I'm like, damn. Hey, Prodigy, Prodigy, that H and I see? I break bread, ribs, $100 bills, peel on Ducati's another four wheels, writing a book for the medicine to generate myths, yeah. You feel me? We gon' die with more than y'all want for much. We spent our hard time and it still ain't enough. Come on, man. What? Come on, like, yeah. Yeah, man. So like, if you could change one thing about how the music industry today, what would it be? The stronghold, the stronghold that, I would say the Mount Rushmore of Hip Hop got on it, like for guys like us, like it's a stronghold for like time like us to get in. So break the monopolize and like this make it, this make it on an even playing scale, make it even. And you know, I feel like times are changing, man. I feel like right now is the best time to be an independent artist. Right now is the best time to be a creator, you know, because it's so easy for us to make music. So it's a lot cheaper than it was. And you know, with all of these platforms like TikTok and IG and YouTube, you know, we can really, we really don't need the labels. You see what I'm saying? Like, yeah, we still gotta put that work in to get the artist. But you also know them labels, they also, they just don't, it is gonna stop with them. They, you know, they control, they control the DJs. They control like, so that's what I say. Like, that's what I say. Like for them to get, there's just to break it, to break it, to break the threshold that they have on. And if you look at some artists and you listen to them, they'll talk about it. Like it's hard. Like if you ain't in a certain group or you ain't friendly with a certain group then you ain't gonna get spun like that or you ain't, I'm just like, just make it even for everybody. You know what I'm saying? No labels, yeah. You don't need no labels or nothing like that. We'll let, be biased to everybody. You know what I'm saying? Give everybody a chance. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Even people like, even though, you know what I'm saying? I'm not, I'm not a part of it in my life. Like people like Nas X, like people don't, I see him and Frank Ocean, like bro, they right, I didn't even know Nas X be right in the music, bro, great writer. Frank Ocean is a great writer, but people be black ball for certain reasons, you know what I'm saying? And then you don't never hear nothing from him. And I can think about so many people on the other spectrum. I'm just like, man, this tear down all the politics and let's get back and judge the people for the music. Give everybody a chance. Yeah, let me judge you on your music, bro. So let everybody know where they can find your music at and let them know when you got that new project dropping when they can look out for that. Yup, so you can catch all my music on Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, YouTube, Instagram music, Facebook music. You can also catch me on Instagram at Regal Six. You can catch me on Bingo at Regal Six. You can catch my own rap fame at Regal Six. You can catch me on Wattpad at Regal Six. You can email me at regalsix.com. As far as what I have coming up, I just released Doubles of Live, that's out now on my platform. Go stream that, go support it, share it. Visual coming up for that probably beginning of March. My mixtape was projected to drop March, probably middle of March, Heartbreak King. You know what I'm saying? I'm gonna look out for that first mixtape. Of course, I'm gonna do some more modeling. I've been talking to a few companies about being ambassador for them, so you'll see me ambassadoring some brands too, later on down the year. And just pushing, you know what I'm saying? Pushing my project, pushing whatever I can push. Now you might see me in the commercial. You might see my picture on a bus ride band. You know what I'm saying? I want you to see just know I'm getting to it. I'm getting to Regal Six, man. Regal Six, y'all, that's R-E-A-G-A-L-S-I-X on all platforms. Y'all can check him out, man. This right here has been official Crock-Pock, Cartel interview. Y'all be safe, never settle for anything, but great, y'all. Appreciate you, G. Y'all, you already know.
