Royal Phrases is an east coast superduo consisting of Queens, New York emcee Royal Flush alongside Lawrence, Massachusetts emcee/producer Termanology. One in every of whom turned the de facto chief of the ST. da Squad collective & the opposite’s debut Ghetto Millionaire turned amongst probably the most underrated albums of the 90s. Neither of them have crossed paths with one another musically up till this level, so an eponymous full-length debut of their very own as a fan of every artist solely appeared becoming sufficient.

“Phrases of Royalty” produced by Statik Selektah begins with this inspiring growth bap intro speaking concerning the legendary statuses they’ve earned for themselves whereas “Child Don’t Depart” soulfully explains how the trunk & rap video games are each the identical. “Legendary Blocks” that includes Tek & UFO Fev finds the quartet speaking about rising up of their respective house states whereas “Crack Period Survivors” appears to be like again at when cocaine flooded the streets within the 80s.

Dru Hoffa joins Royal Phrases on “Angel Whispers” speaking about them getting it out the gravel over an araabMUZIK beat main into “Downside” describing resort events the place the room will get turned the other way up. “Bedtime” hops over a gritty Cartune Beatz instrumental to speak about defending what’s theirs & the closing monitor “Inconceivable” takes up the previous few minutes of the EP chopping up a soul pattern discussing not needing a globe to indicate the world is theirs’.

Equally to Teknology’s self-titled album a 12 months & a half earlier, Royal Phrases unites 2 veterans who’ve spent many years making names for themselves in their very own separate lanes to make an introductory opus that’s assured to fulfill followers of each Royal Flush & Termanology. Exterior of a pair friends, they spend a majority of the EP buying and selling hardcore verses over high quality growth bap manufacturing & honing in on their inventive chemistry.
