Advokate/Donnie- I met Donnie during my senior year of high school at the peak of Royal Kingdom's reign. I heard Donnie playing the piano and it was on from there, we hit the studio and started producing beats together, mostly using his guitar. We became very close to a point where he looked at me almost as a father. He had lost his family over the years and devoted himself to the Royal Kingdom family and eventually learned to rap. He became an incredible rapper, able to hit any subject and any beat. However, his addiction to the streets and their way of life kept pulling him away fro mthe Kingdom and returning often. We finally went our seaparate ways around the time I moved. I love him because he is my brother but he is not the brother I remember. Last I heard he was still living in Willimantic, kicking it in the streets, he is still rapping today. (Silent Confessions, It's Gettin' Kinda Cold, Lost It All)

Angel Eyes/Ginamarie
I met Gina online in September of 2002 on a photo rating site I used to go to while beats were downloading and CDs were burning. We became friends and then developed feelings for each other and dated online and over the phone but never in person although we planned to on numerous occasions. By January of 2003 we weren't together anymore but still talked frequently and still had feelings for each other. We remained friends until May of 2004 when she didn't hide her feelings for me even though I was with Jaime and said some things she could not take back. I hear she is pregnant with her second child, engaged and still living on Long Island NY. (The Picture Frame, 4 U I Pray, Lost It All)

Assailant/Jeff- Jeff has been my best friend since we met in the sixth grade. We started out as losers together, rose to popularity together and fell together. At the peak of Royal Kingdom's reign I taught Jeff how to rap and over the next couple years, he became one of the best rappers I have ever heard, I wish I could tell him that. He brought forth the idea to start a group including all of the rappers I was training, he originally named it Belligerence and we later renamed it the Infantry after a few more members were added. We went our separate ways after we fell and later got back together for a short time, at one point he was actually supposed to be moving to Maine with me and Jaime which ended up falling through. He is still living in Willimantic with his girlfriend and their child and we recently came back together and rekindled our frienship. I will always regard him as my brother and best friend.

Concept/Earl- I met Earl in my freshman year of high school when we were in the same crew and rap group. We grew closer and developed a friendship outside of rapping and outside of the crew so when I eneded up having beef with some of the other members, me and Earl stayed cool. Although we usually rolled with different crews, we never actually had beef with each other. We have recorded album's worth's of songs together and he has played a key role in the Kingdom over the years, being a co-ceo at times. We have grown apart since I left Willimantic but still keep in touch. He is living in Willimantic with his daughter and her mother and is still rapping and recording.

Genero/Christian- I met Christian in my junior year through G.O.D. He was in seventh grade along with the other two members of Protege. I took him under my wing and trained him, I always thought he showed the most promise of all the young rappers. After the demise of the Protege group, Christian went solo and recorded almost an entire album but it was never released. We became very close, him being one the guys I almost moved to New York with. We slowly grew apart as Royal Kingdom fell and eventually lost touch. Last I heard he was a senior in high school, still living in Willimantic and had retired from the rap scene and was focusing on basketball. He is now pursuing rap again and is still down with G.O.D. and now also Relly Rel Records. I wish him the best and hope to see him in the NBA someday, if not in the studio on the mic beside me.

Jaime/Leah- Jaime has been my gilrfriend since 2003 when we met online while I was looking to move to Maine. After remaining friends for awhile we fell in love and started taking trips to New Hampshire to be together and get away from our lives, her parents were in the middle of their divorce at this time. She is from Mariaville Maine, a small town near Ellsworth. We have been together exclusively since the summer of 2003. During the winter of 2003 she stayed with my old friend Justin in Willimantic and with me on the nights she wasn't there (most nights). In 2004 we moved to Bangor Maine, we now have a beautiful home and are very happy. Jaime is majoring in elementary education and currently works at Walmart. (Never Be Enough, True, Fairytale)

No Nucks/Bobby- I met Bobby back in the seventh grade, we weren't friends but we knew each other. In High School we were both known rappers, representing different crews. By 2000 we joined forces and the infamous G.O.D. was started. We bacame very tight over the years and always repped Royal Kingdom, even when almost no one else did. I'll always remember the Thanksgiving that the two of us went to Maine to stay at Jaime's house for the holiday. We still talk to each other frequently, although Royal Kingdom is now over. Bobby still lives in Willimantic and works at Lowe's after spending some time in college, G.O.D. are still together recording and performing. (Three Nights, Holdin' It Down)

Pathologic/Justin- Justin and I met in 2001 and became like brothers. He was one of the original members of the 12 Knights and played a major role behind the scenes in Royal Kingdom. In the beginning of 2004 we went our separate ways. By the beginning of that summer we patched things up again grew as close if not closer than we used to be. He planned on moving to Maine with myself and Jaime, he had a room in the house already and helped move but never came, this caused a "beef" between us, although he did not have beef with me. We patched up our problems and he was a best man in my wedding along Jeff. We are once again as tight as ever and he just purchased his first digital recorder and will begin recording his album now.(So Long, True, Associates Remix, Faith In Tomorrow)
