Crown Royale, the group which pairs veteran Michigan emcee Buff1 with World Famous Beat Junkie DJ Rhettmatic made perfect sense from the start. The brainchild of DJ Haircut (aka Mayer Hawthorne) and A-Side Worldwide’s own Jackson Perry, the pairing came to fruition after they were approached with an idea and discovered there was a mutual respect and admiration for each other’s work.

Rhettmatic, a forefather of today‘s burgeoning LA hip-hop scene, is a founding member of the Beat Junkie DJ crew, the DJ for hip-hop group The Visionaries, and an award-winning turntablist – having performed in numerous competitions across the globe and with upper-echelon artists such as J Dilla, Cypress Hill and Talib Kweli. Buff1, recently highlighted as a part of URB Magazine’s “NEXT 100,” brings two critically acclaimed full-length LPs to the table in 2008’s Pure and 2009’s There’s Only One, and has stacked up more than a decade of recording, international touring and honing “show stopping” stage skills both as a solo artist and with seven-man hip-hop arsenal Athletic Mic League (AML).

Mixed from distant points on the map, one part slicing lyrics and one part pummeling beats, Crown Royale is a combination blended so well it’s a wonder they haven’t been working together all along.

Sonically smooth.
Shaken and stirred into rhythmic intoxication.

Crown Royale stays in the mind like a hangover you weren’t expecting but never want to leave.

The duo just returned from a 10-city Spring 2010 European tour in support of their first single, We Gotcha, available now on vinyl via Fat Beats, and are currently putting finishing touches on the album for which more details will be poured soon…
