The Second Installment From Royal Illness' Heavily Anticipated "Mercenaries Creed(MC)" CD Coming In May 2018, "Black Heroes" Features Fellow KY 'Madd Militia'-men 'King Khongo', 13Five & Vegas Posada With Special Participation From Kentuckys' Top Turntablist JK-47. This Song Is Self Produced By Royal Illness And With Its Majestic Trumpets, Choral Incantations & Overall Triumphant Feel Paves The Way For The Artist Self Expression Of Black Nobility & Dominance On All Aspects Of Life. The "Black Hero" Is A Complex Figure Who Takes Form In Many Ways, Often Toeing The Line On Both Sides Of The Moral Scale & Is To Be Celebrated In All Of Their Respective Glory As Such And This Song Perfectly Displays Those Complexities In An Unapologetic Hardcore Way Only 'Royal Illness' Music Can.

Along the path of making music you really meet some remarkable people. And no matter how long you sit in a studio amongst keyboards, guitars, microphones, or any other random assortment of instruments, some journeys just come down to chance meetings. But we’ve been doing this long enough to know that there are no such things as “chance” meetings. Things happen as they do in their own time and place and generally at the moment that they need to happen. The Off Daze met Mayiia in Paris under the most unique of circumstances. We will save that wild story for a later date. Suffice it to say that the first session with her went SO WELL that we flew her in from Berlin, Germany and recorded an EP’s worth of material with her. Mayiia is magical. She’s made of galaxy matter and pixie dust. The songs we recorded with her are quite special. Find us on social media (@theoffdaze). We will share with you the story of our journey BEFORE, DURING and AFTER our “chance” meeting. Stay tuned!
