Press Release
NEW YORK -- Monday, May 25, 2020 -- Rising actor, recording artist, filmmaker, and entrepreneur Amir Royale re-released his debut mixtape ‘Magnificent’, celebrating its five-year anniversary since its original release on Memorial Day 2015 through SoundCloud and DatPiff.
Click here to listen to the re-released mixtape.
The mixtape features 21 tracks that pay homage to previous eras of hip hop and R&B. Originally mixed by Mike Martial—Royale updated and reproduced the mixtape. Royale also wrote the original songs (i.e. lead single “So Mellow”) and freestyles, some of which cover songs that inspired him, including Mac Miller’s “Kool Aid & Frozen Pizza” and Tinashe’s “2 On” (which features Oscar and Emmy-Winning actor and recording artist Jharrel Jerome).
Royale originally produced Magnificent while he was a sophomore at Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts in New York City. The songs were inspired by Royale’s relationship with a high school crush. Ultimately, that relationship helped fuel his desire to succeed in acting, music, and film. The tracks on the mixtape spotlight a variety of pop culture references from his teenage and adolescent years as well.
As he was a student when it was first created, Royale determined years ago to one day remix Magnificent and bring it closer to his original sonic vision. With time, he found that there would be no better moment than the five-year anniversary to attempt doing so. Who knows, maybe there is still more to come.
“I always knew Magnificent wasn’t completed,” Royale said. “It feels good to return back to my roots.”
The re-release of Magnificent follows Royale’s release of the short film Please Stop Calling Me and NEXT STOP Podcast acting appearance in April, a February release of the soulful hip hop record “Hold it Down (Freestyle)”, and the emotionally powerful single “People Say” in January.

Harlem Artist R3FRENCE Releases His First Single of 2020 “Apocalove”
From R3FRENCE Thank God for artists. I wanted the cover art for my upcoming single to have a warmth. MayBe So was about trauma, but Apocalove is about trust. Through her gorgeous oil painting, @mdexna_ is helping capture that. And you’ll be able to see the finished product while you’re listening to the new track this Wednesday. These lyrics were not written during the pandemic—but we could all use a warm hug right now. Hopefully, this song will feel like one. Finally, we can love again. I’m thinking of you like normal. Let this preview keep you warm until our meeting can be formal.

Victim or Survivor
TW: Mention of self harm and suicide attempts I'll preface this article with I have never listened to any other songs by Citizen Soldier. I had never heard of them until I found out from an Icon for Hire stream where they told fans about an "upcoming collab," being with Citizen Soldier. As soon as I saw that it was on Spotify, I listened to it over and over... And over because of the lyrics.
