Country Rap Artist Rich “White Trash Mofo” Regal Tackles Societal Issues and Inspires Others to Never Relent on Their Goals

Atlanta Wire Staff on December 13, 2022

Rich Regal is an award-winning lyrical genius and one of the fastest rap artists dominating the hip-hop music scene. Combining his unbridled creativity on the mic with the brilliant artistry of DJ Boog (MoneyFace Boogie) and the heart-pounding drum acrobatics of Ryan “Rooster” Dean, the country rap artist has perfected the art of delivering epic adrenaline-filled performance on every track while tackling critical societal issues like depression, suicide, homelessness and more.

For the talented lyricist, everything seen on stage is born from genuine emotion and love for his craft. His brilliant discography is filled with metaphorical lyrics and upbeat sounds resonating with millions of listeners worldwide.

As one of the fastest country rap artists emerging onto the hip-hop scene, Rich has become a force to be reckoned with, his unmatched work ethic, organization, and punctuality further adding to his appeal. As a result, he has collaborated with several movers and shakers in the industry, making him an unstoppable force.

At present, he is setting the blueprint for excellent delivery in the hip-hop scene. But, unfortunately, Rich Regal’s life was not all sweet and rosy. Not too long ago, he was in a hospital bed, bedridden, unsure he would survive. He underwent major surgery and had to wear a colostomy bag, and as someone who enjoyed having his shirt off and the sun on his back, this new development dampened his spirits—but not for long.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade, as they say. Taking this saying to heart, the inspiring individual turned his life around, using his situation to create an extensive platform that raises awareness about colostomy. He became a spokesperson for people who wear colostomy bags, standing in front of many to serve as an inspiration and a living example that it is okay to be different.

A triple-threat combo, Rich Regal is more than just a country rap artist. He is also an award-winning tattoo artist, a seasoned businessman, and the brilliant mind behind the popular #WTMF aka White Trash Mofo logo.

The firebrand entrepreneur shared the inspiration behind his unique brand, saying, “My brand WTMF was a happy accident. I bought a hat at a friend’s car show. When you flipped the bill up, it said white trash under it, and I just thought that was awesome.” He added, “I’ve always been called a Whitetrashmofos, and that I was never going to amount to anything. But here I am, 18 years into my tattoo business and ten years into a successful music career, and I feel I’m doing pretty well, so at the time of starting the white trash mofo brand, it all just fell into place.”

Now on an upward trajectory, recording success in all his endeavors, Rich Regal’s life is a testament to his resilience and determination to prove naysayers wrong. Taking giant strides, the talented artist continues to wow his audience, and listeners can tap in and listen on Spotify.

In the future, the #WTMF artist aims to expand his music and merch brand while inspiring others to work towards their goal, one step at a time, no matter what detractors say. “Remember, when you get down, and it feels like the world is just against you, always remember that you are not alone. We all have trials and tribulations that we have to ﬁght through. It’s how we ﬁght through those that make the diﬀerence,” he insightful shared.

Atlanta Wire Staff on October 20, 2022

Pivoting from one field to another comes with fear and uncertainty about the future, especially for a person who has already established themselves in a specific field before. But that did not stop photographer MC Luna Trine from stepping into the spotlight as he pursues a music career.

The New York City-born artist, photographer, videographer, and now musician has spent years rooting himself in the creative world. As a young child, he spent time drawing and painting and then delved into photography and videography in college. This gave him further exposure to Hollywood, and soon, he was shooting at fashion shows, events, music videos and concerts. For years, he met and worked with many entertainment personalities ranging from artists, celebrities and people from all walks of life until he decided to step out from behind the camera and now be in the spotlight himself.

To mark his move, he has released his first single, “Aura for Me,” which talks about connecting people based on their energy and aura. The reception he got encouraged him to start working on his next song titled “Come With Me To The Moon.” Other than music, MC Luna Trine has brought forward his love for traveling as he launched a travel vlog documenting his journeys and adventures all over the world.

MC Luna Trine basks in his creativity and talent, which he believes are the things that will make him a standout artist in the entertainment scene. Furthermore, his willingness to work with people regardless of their status or journey has helped him unlock and uncover many gems in the industry. “Being a former photographer that has shot with many celebrities and public figures has allowed me to see everyone the same. I do not view anyone differently based on their status or success. I understand that building with anyone who is willing to build with you is more important than how well-known the person is. Also, my openness and nonjudgmental view of people’s creativity help me become open to working with other people from all walks of life,” he said.

MC Luna Trine’s biggest selling points are being authentic with his music and creating melodies that put his audience at rest. He hopes to connect with as many people as possible and be a part of their journey somehow.

“When I was a photographer, I could do a shoot with a well-known celebrity and in a few hours after a meetup with a person who is starting off their journey in the creative field and treat them the same way with respect. I love to help and inspire others and give people advice. I am open to creating with other people, no matter the level of skills they’re in. I love to work with and create with other people. I am open to trying new creative ideas and taking advice from others,” he said.

With him pivoting to another area of entertainment he loves, MC Luna Trine hopes to inspire the world and challenge more people to keep channeling their creative sides, even if it requires changing what they do and starting a new journey.

Music is one of the most demanding and competitive industries today. Artists and musicians face the pressure of being original and creative. Moreover, they have to put in their heart and soul into their work while thinking about how people will respond to their art. Amidst the challenges, however, Johnnie Spencer believes that faith can be a source of strength through the challenges of the industry.

Johnnie Spencer is a producer and all-around artist who has recently been on the rise. He owns a business on top of creating music for his fans. As a talented writer, author, composer, musician, singer, producer, photographer, videographer, and graphic designer, Johnnie views his gifts and talents as a great blessing from God. Accordingly, he turns to God’s grace in all things that he does, whether it be in business or music.

Johnnie is a unique artist who trusts in music’s ability to impact people’s lives. He chose the words “peace, prosperity, and reform” when asked to describe his demeanor. What sets Johnnie apart is that he uses his music to spread a message of hope from God in a world full of darkness and despair.

People familiar with the artist frequently wonder how he manages to carry out all the duties involved in producing high-quality music. People always wonder if Johnnie is either in a group or a one-man band. “God has blessed me to be able to wear all the hats,” he said in an interview

Some of Johnnie’s top tracks include songs like “I Lift My Hands To You,” “Thank You,” and “Worthy To Be Praised.” He also created an LP entitled A New Beginning, which he released on August 2022.

The singer-songwriter thinks that everyone’s story lies behind a song, and his story will inspire others by showing them that no matter what they go through on a social, mental, emotional, verbal, physical, financial, or even spiritual level, it is all for the greater good. Johnnie does not want to face off against other songwriters, musicians, singers, or producers but only competes with himself. He only cares about doing God’s will so he can reach greater heights and lower depths in his musical endeavors.

Johnnie aspires to be the kind of artist who creates excellent music and lyrics to encourage and inspire his audience. He wants every listener to be open to being inspired by his music and to continue creating music that makes a difference in the world.

Shane Blaize, aka Young Trini the Artist and Musician Carving a Path Toward the Limelight

Atlanta Wire Staff on September 9, 2022

To stand out and make a mark in today’s music scene, it no longer suffices to possess incredible talent. Given the number of aspiring and established musicians, it is too easy to fade into the background and fail to gain traction if artists cannot manage to get their names out there. Faced with this challenge, many artists opt to follow the trends, hoping that success will come once they hop on board the hype train. Although this strategy is widely employed nowadays, Shane Blaize aka Young Trini refuses to sacrifice his artistry and musical identity. An up-and-coming musician aiming to reach great heights, the multi-faceted artist is currently going all-out to secure a coveted spot in the limelight.

Originally hailing from Trinidad, Tobago, Shane now resides in Memphis. Since coming to the Home of the Blues, he has been DJing, livening up crowds with his energy and skills at the turntable. His interest in DJing is thanks to the influence of his friend and mentor, Darren Amin, whose ability to excite crowds sparked a fire in him. Soon enough, that interest morphed into something much more significant, one that drove him toward the music industry.

Over the past three years, Shane has electrified dance floors with his mixes and, in the process, discovered a love for writing and creating music. Today, he brings to the table not only this passion for the craft but also distinctive artistry untainted by trends.

“I create my own music,” said Shane. “I don’t follow any particular genre – I just create and release my music into the universe, and my fans love what I create.”

Shane’s refusal to conform and box himself within the confines of a single genre stems from the belief that it is important for musicians to find and show their own color. Additionally, he is highly aware of the considerable number of promising talents in the industry and how rising through the ranks will prove challenging if artists choose to release the same sound.

“I want to bring a certain vibe so that what fans are hearing would not sound the same,” Shane added.

Although the artist is still relatively new to the scene, he has already reached a numerous milestone and gained a following. In the years to come, he is expected to climb higher and increase his visibility as more of his tracks hit major streaming platforms.

Right now, the talented figure is dedicating his time to the studio, aiming to hone his already impressive skills and expand his discography by creating more standout songs. Armed with big plans, he will not slow down anytime soon and is set to intensify his efforts. Some of Young Trini hits include “Caress” and “Trini Wine.” His newly released single “Fallen Angel” featuring Prince Djae is now on all music platforms. This song shows his growth as an artist as he builds fan base popularity.

Apart from enjoying a position at the top of the game, Shane also hopes to launch his own clothing line in the future. Moreover, he is setting his eyes on entering the entertainment industry and jump-starting an acting career. However, regardless of the nature of his upcoming activities, he assures fans that he will remain grounded and dedicated to delivering only the best music.
