DJ Cold - Royality Records
Royality Records is a Houston TX/Louisiana based organization that is basically everything that hip-hop was, and in certain aspects still is. Powered by Dj Cold this young label full of explosive talent such as T.L.K (Thoed Lil' Kingz), have bulldozed there presents unto the streets of Houston TX. and southern Louisiana with rapid fire lyrics and breath taking reality songs dealing with everyday life and situations...not the commercial guns,drugs,women,and money songs that so many have become use to, due to certain individuals in the game who have basically ruined 'Hip-Hop' as we know it! The artist of the label truly exhibits major league talent due to the influences of particular artist and just experiencing the trials and tribulations of everyday life. Dj Cold 'Cold as Ice' is the muscle of the label. Many people have referred to him as the "New or Baby" Dj Screw. Known for his well timed blends and mixes Cold clearly shows that he is no rookie on the 1's and 2's. A Former student of Dj OG Ron C, formerly of the 'Swisher House' (who broadcast such artist as Mike Jones) Cold quickly learned what it would take in order to be heard in the southern regions of the U.S as a better then average Dj. Cold later connected with Dj Marco Polo of The Syrup Factory (A local Houston based group) who had a great run during its time of shine, so good that Interscope records wanted to sign the entire label to a joint partnership deal and bring the whole syrupy sound on a nation wide stand poll. Unfortunately, the same night when Dj Marco Polo and an artist of the group, Joker Man, set off on a long rode trip to meet with Interscope execs. And negotiate a record contract; Marco Polo fell asleep behind wheel instantly killing himself and a wreck that would leave Joker Man in critical condition (who is okay now). The death of Marco Polo affected the entire Syrup Factory but especially his right hand man, partner in crime, Dj Cold, (R.I.P Marco Polo). Dj Colds main influence is the late and great Dj Screw of the S.U.C (Screwed Up Click). Cold unselfishly gives all credit to Dj Screw as the creator of the 'slowed down' style and does everything in remembrance of the legend, and also gives his props and respect to Dj Marco Polo for giving him a boost. Armed with two Technique 1200's Cold displays mastery in the art of Djing and clearly shows others that his game face is on and warns followers to step there game up...ROYALITY RECORDS IS HERE!!!!!!
