Regal Rapstar creates the ‘stream vaccine’ with “F the Coronavirus”: the song, album and music
video
By Bobby Martin
Regal Rapstar simply had enough of the Covid-19 pandemic, and the Pasadena based Latino-
American rapper/producer released a song with a title that says it all: “F the Coronavirus.”
This is a hard hitting track aimed at the culprit that put the whole world on hold, with plenty of
cool word play and a solid, original beat. It comes from the four track, self-titled EP that was
released in March, and is intended on being a “stream vaccine” that everyone should go get a
dose of.
“I want listeners to remember this song, and be like, this is a guy who covered a topic that
affected us all,” Regal Rapstar said. “This isn’t just like a regular rap song. It’s like a missile.
This isn’t like throwing a firecracker. It’s like a serious potion. That’s for real.”
The track starts with an ominous sounding intro and Regal Rapstar saying, “For those who don’t
know, corona means crown in Spanish. The crown virus.”
“I’ve got the touch like Midas
It’s Regal Rapstar minus the coronavirus.”
It continues: “You got the whole world going berserk, that’s why I want to see coronavirus dead
in a hearse.”
The beat for “F the Coronavirus” is all his, Regal Rapstar explained, but originally it was
supposed to be a sample of “New York, New York” by the Dogg Pound. Being a producer, he’s
got beats for days, and can pull them out of his back pocket like a magician. Instead of diving
into established old school tracks to pull from, he went for it with his own beat. Regal Rapstar
couldn’t be more pleased with his decision.
“I said to myself, why am I going to sample an old beat? Why don’t I go with a crispy new beat
instead of an old vintage hook? That was what’s up.”
Regal Rapstar was influenced by hip-hop in his late teens while living in Pasadena, California.
He was listening to West Coast rap to start, but what really hit him was the Wu-Tang Clan.
At first rapping was just an illusion, he said, and mostly involved just playing around and
practicing. Once he hit his early 20s, he realized that he needed proper production quality. This
slowed down his career like a brick wall at first, but also led to him learning how to produce. He
never gave up, and once he was able to “put it all together like a sandwich,” that’s when he
began recording and started his label Regal Records.
“I was really good at it, and I knew I was really good at it,” he said. “Listening to a lot of albums
and material gave me more insight than the average person. I had all this data in my brain from
other artists, but I could mix it up and make my own thing. That’s what gave me that edge.”
The music video for “F the Coronavirus” is on Youtube, and one that Regal Rapstar says is
much more than just a video with some words and music.
“It’s artistic with good quality production,” he said. “Every musician has it in their heart, and to be
honest with you, videos are either hard to make or expensive. This one is real, and well done.”
Regal Rapstar said this covers an important topic that affected the whole world, and now there
are even songs to celebrate the overcoming of what occurred on such a grand scale.
Be sure to check out “F the Coronavirus” and the self titled EP, available on all platforms.
