HOW UP-AND-COMING HIP HOP ARTIST ROYAL RASHAD IS HANDCRAFTING HIS CAREER TO HIS FULL ADVANTAGE


Hello Royal Rashad
, Thanks for coming to Honk Magazine to talk about your career.

Tell us a little more about when you first got into music?

I got into music at an early age, 13 I believe. I remember hearing one of my cousins freestyle and I was like “yo how do you do that… just brainstorm rhymes on the fly?” He said “man you just flow with the beat and say what’s on your mind” then he started beating on the porch and told me to try.. that’s when history started.

 

If you could describe your sound/style in one word, what would it be and why? 

Sleek. My wordplay is sharp and my cadence is smooth

What would you say to any aspiring recording artists who look up to your work?

Just be yourself and do you and Never let anyone tell you that you can’t do what you’re passionate about. 

 

What quote or mantra do you live by? 

Whenever things go left or go wrong I call it a Minor setback… for a major comeback. And I always bounce back.

What is your hobby outside of music?

Continuing the path that God has set out for me, which is to evolve and grow with my talents

Sahara CyberStars evokes a soul-stirring sonic charm with its new release, “Winds of Time”

Sahara CyberStars

Occasionally, a musical composition emerges with the soaring intensity of an impending storm, captivating attention, and provoking thought. “Winds of Time,” the latest single by Sahara CyberStars, epitomizes this phenomenon. Rooted deeply in the heart of classic rock balladry, this track from the Irish-Australian duo Trish and Dave Long presents a reflective exploration through chaos, resilience, and the inexorable wheel of time.

Originally penned during calmer periods, which they refer to as “more normal times,” the song feels eerily prophetic today. Its lyrical foundation is substantial, notably illustrated in lines such as “the power of greed came to plunder, pull our world asunder.” There’s no cryptic poetry here; Sahara CyberStars speaks plainly and impactfully, whispering universal truth within a melodically sophisticated framework.

Trish’s hauntingly ethereal vocal delivery juxtaposes beautifully with Dave’s intricate instrumentation, imbuing the track with organic warmth. Their sound harkens back to their roots in Dublin’s music scene while incorporating expansive cinematic narrative styles in Aussie landscapes. The interplay between their voices and instruments conveys an authenticity that feels both lived-in and emotionally profound.

But its intrinsic sense of hope distinctly elevates “Winds of Time.” Yes, it reflects on a fractured societal narrative and simultaneously seeks to illuminate pathways toward recovery and renewal. The chorus crescendos with a subtle optimism, reminding listeners that, despite turbulent conditions, the resilience of the human spirit remains undiminished. It asserts that while times may change and bring something brighter, the healing potential is inevitable.

Sahara CyberStars has effectively distilled a timeless essence within “Winds of Time” that resonates with contemporary rock ballad audiences. Amidst the chaos, “Winds of Time” stands out as a profoundly earnest sonic testament to our identity, the history of where we’ve been, and the vital importance of perseverance through adversity. It’s a perfect anthem for visionaries and those navigating the impossible-to-ignore whirlwind of shared experiences, searching for meaning through sincere expression.
