1. Royal-Tee short biography
Royal-Tee is an American rapper based in East Charlotte, North
Carolina, making him an east coast rapper which definitely has
influenced his specific style and sound of music. Royal-Tee tends to
rap meaningful lyrics with a mix of jazz inspired hip hop production
similarly to many New York situated artist in a previous era. He isn’t
signed to a major record label and his main source of marketing is
through exploiting the internet (a form of viral marketing) by
uploading songs to websites such as:
www.soundcloud.com
www.youtube.com
www.twitter.com
Allowing his following/fanbase can gain easy access to his music – he
also has set up his own website for promotional use
(www.iamroyaltee.com) in which the audience can access show
dates, new music as well as background information on the artist
himself.
Royal-Tee released his first LP in 2007, Alumini, which later lead him
to gain recognition and perform alongside artists such as J Cole,
Wale, Raekwon and many more acts. After the nationwide exposure,
Royal-Tee then followed up with another (independently released)
LP in the spring of 2012. As more people listen to his music each day,
he still continues to upload songs onto soundcloud as way to stay
relevant, a subtle marketing tactic.
