Robert Raimon Roy "P*ssy Politicien"
"I'm your Pussy Politician. I can get you off, but you got to vote for me..."
I've been a fan of Robert Raimon Roy, starting back when he was just going by Rob Roy. His track Fur In My Cap had grabbed my attention and I haven't looked back since. We've had several conversations about his music. The dude is dope. And after Dollar Out of Fifteen Cents and King Warrior Magician Lover, last week, Roy quietly released his latest. Le tigre blanc comes after visuals and stand out cuts Axela, Little Egypt Wavy and Robert Raimon Roy. Among many other gems on the 10 track LP is perhaps my favorite, Pussy Politicien. Yeah. Roy is worth the listen.

What I'm Watching ... Rob Roy “Carmencita”
Rob Roy is dope as shit. His King Warrior Magician Lover project is one of my favorite albums in the last year. The dude is incredibly talented and his sound is fresh. Check out the visuals for "Carmencita" which much like his "Fur In My Cap" vid, are outside the box. If you haven't heard of Rob Roy before, it's time you get familiar. Enjoy.

Download ... @IamRobRoy "King Warrior Magician Lover"

I'm going to start this by saying, it's different.
Rob Roy is different.
It was a year ago I first wrote about him. It was his "Fur in My Cap" video that caught my attention (and a gang of other people). As I began to check his music, I knew this dude had something different to offer to music.
Yes, I used "different" three times because I can't stress that enough. Rob Rob remains a rare mix of talent and uniqueness. While "King Warrior Magician Lover" has been streaming online for over a year, it's now available for official download.
Like I said a year ago, he’s definitely not for everyone. He brings creativity and passion to his craft. I respect and dig that.
"When Rob Roy streamed his album "King Warrior Magician Lover" on imeem last year, it garnered 800,000+ plays in one week. His video for the song "Fur In My Cap" had the internet going nuts with the likes of Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, Justin Timberlake, Travis Barker, Chris Brown and ?uestlove all giving props to the multi-talented rapper/singer/producer. You might have heard him on HBO's "Entourage" or read about him in the pages of Nylon Guys and Giant Magazine.Here are two of favorite cuts from this jawn, "Rollercoaster Baby" and "White Shoes". If you dig 'em, go 'head and download the full project.
Many of you have been looking for a way to find his full length album and now the wait is finally over. PLUS a digital song book with exclusive photos and all of Rob's lyrics."

In the Studio With Rob Roy
Episode I: Musings on Home(and Pyramid Energy) from Rob Roy on Vimeo.
I dig Rob Roy. He's got a unique sound. It has this funk / soul feel with influences from both the south (originally from Florida) and a touch of that west coast vibe (currently in LA). Found this vid from a few months back and thought it was dope.
Also check out that interview with Rob Roy (where you can listen to his album King Warrior Magician Lover). When asked when we should expect the album to drop, Rob Roy responds with, "The album's release date is SOON... I like surprises."

Pay Attention to Rob Roy
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy6S9AoKRh2_jayYwUmS7pIdWROuUrDAUtaey2DITRAeJDn2yDQ7CikRzX0kKf2Dy_7wN2SRuB15J7rNU1VYIgReMgyCoRUVADdrpiCBg4lk64f2ehJL40Dkky1V-pISvaEfdV/s400/ROBROY_KingWarriorMagicianLover_01_Cover.jpg)
I came across dude a few weeks back when I peeped that Fur in My Cap video. I think the quote was “He’s a starrrah” according to Questlove (of the Roots) while on Twitter, when he blasted the link to the vid out in a tweet. Then the video popped up in my email. Then a friend in DC told me he heard it out in the club. There was something that hit me immediately with the track. Something unique.
In searching for more of Rob Roy, you find that folks either love him or hate him. It’s true; he’s definitely an acquired taste. Wherever his tracks were, there were comments in favor and against. One thread started with “Rob Roy is about to be the new hot blog rapper.” Heads joined in on both sides of that debate.
One fan wrote, “Dude is f’ing crazy. His voice is something that I’ve never really heard before and the hook (in Fur in My Cap) just comes out of nowhere and you’re instantly listening. I’d totally listen to some more of this dude. Pretty abstract and strange, but good.”
Rob Roy has this rare mix of talent and uniqueness.
Is he the hottest and most lyrical emcee on the planet? You’ll need to answer that question yourself. But is he a cookie-cutter-ring-tone emcee? That’s one thing that he’s definitely not, and with that you should pay close attention to Rob Roy. He brings something different to the table. He classifies his style as Rap / Punk / Blues. Some fans liken his sound to Outkast, with its southern influence.
The first go through of King Warrior Magician Lover, I immediately thought the fresh sound of early Missy Elliott’s off the wall music that was just different at the time. Sure, I know a bold statement. But do you remember the video for “The Rain”? Remember how heads were tripping about her in a garbage bag and other cool graphics? Well, enter Rob Roy’s “Fur in My Cap” video. This dude obviously takes his craft seriously and the creativity of the video says that it his talent doesn’t end on wax and continues on film.
He’s definitely not for everyone but it’s different and sometimes different can be good. He brings creativity and passion to his craft.
We reached out to Rob Roy to talk about his new project, King Warrior Magician Lover. Here’s the Q&A with him.
