When the KingQueen band takes the stage, the crowd knows they’re in for a great time. Today Ina joins us to discuss their new single ‘Roller Coaster’, their inspirations what we can expect from them in the future! Make sure to check out our interview below:
We are happy to have you today. Tell us about your fall season so far! What have you guys been up to?
With the lockdown and everything, I’ve just focused on finishing up mixing songs that were recorded with the band before the lockdown that started in March. And of course, editing and releasing the music video for “Roller Coaster”
Can you share more with our readers about your latest release “Roller Coaster”? What inspired the single?
I write a lot in my car while driving. Melodies and words pop up and this one I started and finished writing on my way back to LA from a gig in Vegas. It was honestly a mix of emotions not towards one person but just to people in general. It’s not like I wrote it as a breakup song to a singular person it was more of my thoughts on how some people just can’t be clear but will hit you up whenever they feel like or when they are drunk haha. I guess we all have been in that situation so it’s a tribute to us all that have felt a bit used and not given the attention we actually deserve. Or the answers we needed in the moment. So yeah it’s about heartbreak but not like a deep and sad kind of heartbreak, more like “ehhhh this sucks and you’re messing with my mind” kind of thing.
How did the band first get started?
Wow. So KQ have had so many different band members throughout the years. But the band itself started in 2011 after I left a record deal with Universal as a pop solo artist. I was craving the pop punk rock I was born to perform. So I became independent and have followed my heart ever since.
How did you all decide on the band name KingQueen?
KingQueen actually was my solo artist name and nick name. After a long night out with my drag queens I was named KingQueen and I kept it and performed under it and I love it and I love what it represents and it’s truly me and the sound of the craft we perform.
How would you describe your sound to someone who just listened to your music for the first time?
Energetic, powerful, in your face and inviting at the same time. It’s a mix of the past and the future.
How has these past few months of quarantine affected you all creatively?
Creatively it’s actually been a blessing. I’m obviously not happy about this pandemic and I miss performing live sooooo much! But it’s given me the time I’ve begged for these past years to just sit down and tune into the mixing and production part. Truly work through the songs. And I love it. Now we have tons of music coming out that I’m truly proud of since I got to work through it with no distractions.
What advice do you have for anyone interested in starting their own band?
Do it. It’s not easy! It’s a relationship, learn when to let go and when to give. Some people will stay some people with go and that’s the heartbreak of music and bands but don’t worry, those who are meant to go all the way will be there. And don’t take it all personally! Keep doing you. Keep going!
How do you get pumped up before a big event?
Ohhhh man. It’s like so exciting I get so nervous and excited at the same time it’s like a ball of energy so honestly, I do nothing all day I’m lame. I am quiet and I just prepare mentally and then as soon as my feet touch the stage it’s like lighting comes through my body and it’s showtime. It’s where I feel like life happens. Life is that stage, the people, the band, the music and the lights. I love it!
Biggest lesson learned in your career so far?
There are so many. But I think the most important one is to let go of all the noise. The times I didn’t quite enjoy the stage as much was when I knew someone from the industry that was important was watching and I regret that! I let it cloud myself and it kind of ruined my moment of fun because I was thinking to impress rather than just do what I always do. So I think that’s a big lesson because it’s important to connect and enjoy and do your thing every time. Industry people are just people and opinions. In the end of the day what matters is how you feel about yourself.
Are you currently working on any special projects?
Yesssss!! Releasing a single every 2 months, both with the band KingQueen and solo as Ina Of KingQueen. I do solo stuff for different genres or song I don’t think fit to perform with the band and then collaborate with other artists too. The next one is “Bad Kids” with She and Bandits and Blake English. Super excited for you all to hear!
Thank you for speaking with us! For our final question, is there anything else you would like to add?
KING TYGUSS approaches music as a calling, with artistry that carries the force of Gospel truth. He is the kind of Gospel hip-hop artist who treats every track as ministry, using rhythm, testimony, scripture, and raw emotion to reach hearts inside the church and beyond it. His work feels rooted in something lived rather than performed. That honesty, along with his spiritual conviction, gives his music a weight listeners can sense right away.
A devoted educator, army veteran, and proud servant of Christ, KING TYGUSS returns with one of his most commanding and spiritually charged releases so far, “Made For This Moment.” The single brings together hard-hitting modern drill production and an uplifting Gospel-centered message, shaping the track into a declaration of faith and a rallying call for believers walking in divine purpose.
At its heart, “Made For This Moment” celebrates spiritual awakening, identity, and victory through Christ. The song speaks to those who know they were created for a higher calling, soldiers for the Most High moving boldly through faith and purpose. With passionate lyricism and a firm, commanding delivery, KING TYGUSS reminds listeners that Christ gave His life for humanity, and through Him, believers can begin to understand why they were made and what they were destined to become.
Musically, the record carries as much range as its message. It is built on a dark, bass-heavy drill foundation that grabs attention immediately, driven by booming low-end percussion, sleek electronic drums, and eerie melodic textures. Even with that intensity, the instrumental leaves enough space for KING TYGUSS to move across the beat with sharp flows and magnetic conviction. From the opening moments, the hook locks into an anthemic energy that stays with you after the track ends.
As the song develops, “Made For This Moment” takes a surprising but natural sonic turn, shifting into a glossy, haunting early 2010s pop atmosphere that recalls the cinematic edge of Iggy Azalea’s “Black Widow.” Tense synth stabs, shadowy melodies, and polished electronic details blend smoothly with the aggressive drill framework, creating a dynamic listen that reflects the depth and urgency of the song’s spiritual message.
What makes “Made For This Moment” so impactful is KING TYGUSS’ ability to connect modern mainstream production with unwavering Gospel truth. He brings faith into contemporary sound without softening its message, creating music that feels spiritually grounded while still speaking clearly to today’s listeners.
The result is a soaring Gospel anthem for every soldier of Christ who has accepted the call to action. It is for those living boldly for Him, carrying His message each day, and knowing deep in their hearts that they were truly made for this moment.
With “Made For This Moment,” KING TYGUSS continues to show that Gospel hip-hop can be sonically inventive and spiritually transformative, offering music that inspires strength, conviction, and steady faith in a generation still searching for purpose.
Check this heartfelt tune below, add it to your favorite repertoire, and share it with other soldiers of Christ.
With a biography that reads like a mystery, I’d best describe The Traveling High Priest as a prophetic spiritual phenomenon wrapped in the form of an artist, minister, and messenger. His artistry does not operate within the ordinary boundaries of music alone; it feels like a fusion of prophecy, spoken-word ministry, gospel rap, spiritual storytelling, and supernatural theater. He presents himself less as a conventional entertainer and more as a vessel carrying divine revelation through sound, speech, prayer, and presence. Welcome aboard!
Now that we are here, it wouldn’t hurt to talk about that ethereal performance he recently delivered with the single “Right One” featuring female vocalist Jhonni Blaze. This is a spiritually charged and emotionally immersive collaboration and marks The Traveling High Priest’s first-ever gospel release and serves as the official lead single from his highly anticipated upcoming album. Already generating major momentum online — including nearly one thousand TikTok creations — “Right One” is quickly proving itself to be more than just a song; it is becoming a movement of healing, reflection, faith, and emotional honesty.
From the very first seconds, “Right One” creates an atmosphere that feels both intimate and transcendent. The intro arrives like a warm tropical breeze, carried by silky island-infused rhythms that sway with grace rather than force. The cadence is smooth, fluid, and deeply inviting. Gentle Afro-Caribbean percussion rolls beneath the production with hypnotic precision, allowing the beat to breathe naturally while soft melodic textures drift across the instrumental like sunlight reflecting on ocean waves. Every element feels intentional, warm, and emotionally alive.
The song immediately finds its emotional center through Jhonni Blaze’s unforgettable hook:
“You said you’d change. I believe every word. Gave you my heart even when it hurt. Stayed through the nights when love felt cold. Held on to you when I should have let go.”
Her delivery is soulful, vulnerable, and magnetic — setting the emotional tone for the entire record while bringing a powerful sense of human fragility and longing to the forefront. Then comes the arrival of The Traveling High Priest, whose entrance completely transforms the energy of the track. Delivering in his divinely inspired and unclassified spiritual language, he brings an otherworldly presence that feels less like conventional performance and more like prophetic expression poured directly into sound.
As he enters, the production effortlessly morphs into a floating, atmospheric Afro-Amapiano groove layered with minimalist yet deeply textured percussion. The beat does not rush. It lingers. It breathes. Dusty underground drums, airy melodic spacing, and smoky rhythmic textures create a hypnotic sonic environment where every word, cadence, and vocal inflection carries spiritual weight. Even without understanding the exact language, listeners can feel the emotional and spiritual gravity behind his delivery.
The chemistry between The Traveling High Priest and Jhonni Blaze becomes one of the song’s defining strengths. Her melodic vulnerability and his spiritually charged presence complement each other perfectly, creating a listening experience that feels healing, uplifting, and emotionally transporting. As the groovy Amapiano stabs settle into the mix and the fading harmonies dissolve into the instrumental atmosphere, “Right One” leaves listeners suspended in reflection, faith, and feeling.
The accompanying music video further elevates the experience. Visually stunning and cinematic in presentation, the video places both artists in a scenic studio-inspired environment filled with striking photography, immersive lighting, and captivating aesthetics. Rather than relying on excessive distractions, the visual allows the music, emotion, and chemistry between the artists to remain the focal point — making it the perfect companion piece to a record already resonating deeply with audiences worldwide.
For The Traveling High Priest Thee, “Right One” is not simply another release — it is testimony transformed into music. Speaking openly about his battles with PTSD, anxiety, and depression, he reveals that the song was born directly from GOD’s guidance and his own personal journey toward healing and purpose.
That sincerity pulses throughout every second of “Right One.” Beneath its lush production and hypnotic groove lies a deeper message about spiritual discernment, emotional boundaries, redemption, and divine direction. The Traveling High Priest Thee uses the song not only as art, but as ministry — encouraging listeners to stop walking into doors GOD never granted and to trust the path GOD has designed specifically for them.
“Right One” is available now on YouTube and continues to gain momentum across streaming and social platforms as listeners around the world connect with its message of healing, faith, surrender, and transformation.

In an era when plenty of hip hop chases whatever trend is loudest, Mr.Reaper arrives with something darker and more inward looking. “My Escape” is a haunting new single that moves between psychological pressure and spiritual reckoning, turning fear into the starting point for a deeper kind of release.
At 2 minutes and 37 seconds, the track wastes no time building its world. From the opening moments, the atmosphere feels cold, eerie, and cinematic, like a signal coming from somewhere far away. It pulls the listener into a shadowed mental space where reality feels unstable and escape is less certain than it first appears.
That tension comes through clearly in one of the song’s most memorable lines: “We’re in a simulation, I don’t think they understand…”
The line lingers because it feels philosophical without becoming abstract. It speaks directly to the song’s central struggle, the need to break out of unseen mental and emotional traps.
As the production expands, heavy hip hop drums take control. Booming 808s, rumbling bass, and sharp hi hats give the track a tense, cinematic weight. The beat feels alive, built with purpose, and it gives Mr.Reaper the space to step fully into his darker lyrical persona.
Once he enters that space, he owns it.
Mr.Reaper moves across the beat with control and conviction. His voice is deep, steady, and commanding, carrying each line with emotional force. When he delivers:
“I can’t see, I can’t breathe, I’m surrounded by this mystery praying to God…”
“From darkness to light, we must choose what is in the light…”
“Walking to my destiny…”
the words feel like pieces of an inner conversation. They capture the pull between despair and hope, confusion and clarity, pain and transformation.
At its core, “My Escape” is a song about liberation. Not from a place, but from the prisons people carry inside themselves. It explores fear, betrayal, pressure, self doubt, and the identities that can form around pain. The track plays like a psychological and spiritual battle, where the hardest enemy to face is often the one within.
Still, there is awakening inside the darkness.
The title “My Escape” does not feel like a retreat. It feels like recognition. Freedom, in this song, comes from facing what hurts, understanding it, and turning that struggle into strength. The message is rooted in resilience, growth, and self mastery.
The cover art sharpens that idea. Its half human, half skeletal portrait reflects the tension between life and death, identity and shadow, reality and illusion. The skull suggests mortality and inner demons, while the human side points toward consciousness and awareness. Like the song, the image is bold, unsettling, and symbolic enough to stay with you.
With “My Escape,” Mr.Reaper delivers a release that feels deliberate, emotionally charged, and thought provoking. In a crowded musical landscape, his voice cuts through because it sounds committed to something real.
The journey inward may be the darkest path, but Mr.Reaper presents it as the one that leads toward true freedom.
