r0yal (short for r0yalratedR) is an underground artist from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, bringing a sound that’s as raw as it is unique. Inspired by artists like Juice WRLD, Rico Nasty, Bktherula, and Lil Uzi, she fuses emo and alternative rap with jerk, house, and Milwaukee beats — creating a style that can’t be boxed in. As the only alternative girl in her city pushing this kind of vibe, r0yal flips the narrative with her reverse music, turning the tables on how men rap about women. With her debut album, The Underground Princess, on the way, she’s proving why she calls herself the princess of Milwaukee’s underground scene — diverse, unapologetic, and impossible to ignore.
