Roy O.'s (@RoyORaps) "Ovie" Holds a Royal Message for Young Black Men

Posted by on
Roy O. stomps back onto the indie circuit with a bold and powerful follow-up to his 2016 commercial release, "Scratch". The highly acclaimed "Ovie" album hit digital retailers last month, and is already earning rave reviews. As Roy O.'s fan base expands, his Nigerian roots help keep him laser focused, and humble. Taste-makers like Karen Civil, and Tamra Simmons appreciate Roy O.'s unique sound, sharp lyricism, and message based wordplay. Ovie, meaning King in the Nigerian dialect, blends instrumentation and piercing lyrics to explore an immigrant's journey to self-discovery. This is the second studio album by Roy O. and it is exclusively produced by Kez Jonez.
Now, with an impressive catalog under his belt and an upward career trajectory in his future, the Houston, Texas based artist continues to make music for genuine individuals who dare to stand out. 
One thing that sets Roy O., who's real name is Oghogho Roy Efemena Osagie Mukoro, apart from the crowd is that his story does not begin in the streets; and from project to project, he never pretends it does. Growing up in Port-Harcourt City, Nigeria, Roy O. moved to the United States to rebuild his future, fleeing political persecution. Now, as a college graduate, holding a Master’s Degree in Business Administration, Roy O. brings a message of strength and hope to young black men, and a new viewpoint to hip hop music.
