September of 2007 saw the debut of R.O.Y. with the release of his debut single, "TRYIN'", a minor success in the world of online music communities but R.O.Y. saw it no more than the launch pad to an ever-growing success of musical creations.
On March 8, 2008, R.O.Y. released his first widely accepted and well received single, "FASHION", a song dealing with the subject of conformity yet disguising it with an upbeat tempo and cheerful key. "FASHION" was soon followed by the release of three more singles, "Around the World", "Friends and Lovers" and "the FLAME", all released before the end of 2008. On February 24, 2009, R.O.Y. released his debut full-length album, "Reign of Yellow", containing his four previously released singles plus eight new songs.
Since the release of his debut album, R.O.Y. has been consistently active in the release of new material and the development of his craft.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A homie lover friend is what I'm looking for
A girl who can connect with the things I got in store
She can even kick back with da homies
Play spades, mackin' Aces and getting payed
Too much makeup is not a style
Uh, shakin' that rump and thangs
Girl you make me wanna do some thangs
Like step up on you and freak you with the digits
Nine-five-five BONE and baby gets with it
So I send a shoutout to you
Thanks for being my homie lover friend
(Here we go my friend) A homie lover friend
(Here we go my friend) A homie lover friend
(Here we go my friend) A homie lover friend
(Here we go my friend) A homie lover friend
(Here we go my friend) A homie lover friend
(Here we go my friend) A homie lover friend
(Here we go my friend) A homie lover friend
(Here we go my friend) A homie lover friend
Homie lover friend, yeah
Someone who can relate to my sex drive
Cuff her booty while we dance and she don't mind
And pickin' her up is obsolete
Because I see her at the club valeting her Jeep
She can turn a man into a mouse in a minute
Snappin' her fingers up and down and make you cool with it
Walkin' away, hummin' her favorite song
Ain't nothin' but the rip going on
We will be together for all times
I need a homie lover friend
A homie lover friend is what I'm looking for
Like "Damn R, them rims on your Benz is straight!"
(Here we go my friend) A homie lover friend
(Here we go my friend) A homie lover friend
(Here we go my friend) A homie lover friend
(Here we go my friend) A homie lover friend
(Here we go my friend) A homie lover friend
(Here we go my friend) A homie lover friend
(Here we go my friend) A homie lover friend
(Here we go my friend) A homie lover friend
A homie lover friend is somethin' inexpensive
You pay your way, I'll pay my way
Don't mind kickin' it with the homies when we hit the show
Or flex a cooler, while chillin' on the corner
Her ex wants to go strollin'
But she pages me to go bowlin'
But not quite the kind of balls that you're thinkin'
But the kind that be swingin' and swingin' and swingin'
Don't mind lookin' ugly when it's time to
Call me yummy yummy yummy y'all and it feels good
So if you see me push up on me
And let me know you wanna be my homie, lover friend
(Here we go my friend) A homie lover friend
(Here we go my friend) A homie lover friend
(Here we go my friend) A homie lover friend
(Here we go my friend) A homie lover friend
(Here we go my friend) A homie lover friend
(Here we go my friend) A homie lover friend
(Here we go my friend) A homie lover friend
(Here we go my friend) A homie lover friend
Now, if you're a homie lover friend and you're out there
Just throuw your hands in the air like you don't care
And let me know I got the right one, baby
Then give me the chance to say I love you, sweet lady
Now watch my cars, here's the keys
While I get my ball on, takin' straight G's
Uh, but some think I'm wet
My homie girlfirend be temptin' me to bet
And so I sniggle as I reach into the pocket of my shorts
Showin' straight cash as I watch 'em clear the court
Rollin' away, countin' ends
On my way to Sizzler's, with my homie lover friend
(Here we go my friend) A homie lover friend
(Here we go my friend) A homie lover friend
(Here we go my friend) A homie lover friend
(Here we go my friend) A homie lover friend
(Here we go my friend) A homie lover friend
(Here we go my friend) A homie lover friend
(Here we go my friend) A homie lover friend
(Here we go my friend) A homie lover friend
Said I need someone to satify my every need
Homie lover friend, oh
Said I need someone to satify my every need
Homie lover friend, homie lover friend
Break it down
(Here we go my friend)
(Here we go my friend)
(Here we go my friend)
(Here we go my friend)
(Here we go my friend)
(Here we go my friend)
(Here we go my friend)
(Here we go my friend)
(Here we go my friend) homie lover friend
(Here we go my friend) homie lover friend
(Here we go my friend) homie lover friend
(Here we go my friend) homie lover friend
(Here we go my friend)

Before I start, let me tell you what a homie lover friend is

A girl who can connect with the things I got in store
Someone who can share my interests and lifestyle
She can even kick back with da homies
She can chill with me and my friends
Play spades, mackin' Aces and getting payed
We can play cards and earn money at the same time
Too much makeup is not a style
I don't like it when girls put on too much makeup
'Cause when it comes to parties you know she gets buckwild
But she sure knows how to have fun at parties
Uh, shakin' that rump and thangs
I can't resist her when she's dancing and shaking it

Let's sing together about my ideal relationship
Someone who can relate to my sex drive
I need a girl who can keep up with my libido
Cuff her booty while we dance and she don't mind
I love when we dance and she lets me touch her body
And pickin' her up is obsolete
I don't have to pick her up for a date because she can drive herself
Because I see her at the club valeting her Jeep
I know she's independent and takes care of herself
She can turn a man into a mouse in a minute
She's so powerful that she can make a man lose his confidence
Snappin' her fingers up and down and make you cool with it
But at the same time, she can make you feel comfortable with her
Walkin' away, hummin' her favorite song
She walks away after leaving an impression on me
Ain't nothin' but the rip going on
And all I can think about is how much I want her
We will be together for all times
I know we have something special and it will last forever
Like "Damn R, them rims on your Benz is straight!"
She likes me for who I am, not just for my possessions
A homie lover friend is somethin' inexpensive
Our relationship is not based on money or material things
You pay your way, I'll pay my way
We share an equal relationship and take care of our own expenses
Don't mind kickin' it with the homies when we hit the show
She likes hanging out with my friends when we go out
Or flex a cooler, while chillin' on the corner
Or we can just hang out by ourselves and enjoy each other's company
Her ex wants to go strolling'
Her ex-boyfriend wants to get back together with her
But she pages me to go bowlin'
But she chooses me and we go bowling instead
But not quite the kind of balls that you're thinkin'
We're talking about bowling balls, not the other kind
But the kind that be swingin' and swingin' and swingin'
And we have a lot of fun doing it
Don't mind lookin' ugly when it's time to
She doesn't care about looking good all the time
Call me yummy yummy yummy y'all and it feels good
She loves me and calls me sweet names
So if you see me push up on me
If you're interested, please let me know
And let me know you wanna be my homie, lover friend
And we can start our own homie lover friend relationship
Now, if you're a homie lover friend and you're out there
I'm talking to all the people who can relate
Just throuw your hands in the air like you don't care
Raise your hands if you're proud to be in a homie lover friend relationship
And let me know I got the right one, baby
If you're doing it right, you're my perfect match
Then give me the chance to say I love you, sweet lady
And I'll let you know how much I care about you
Now watch my cars, here's the keys
Take care of my cars while I'm away
While I get my ball on, takin' straight G's
While I'm playing golf and winning big
Uh, but some think I'm wet
Some people may think I'm not cool enough
My homie girlfriend be temptin' me to bet
But my girlfriend makes me feel better and more confident
And so I sniggle as I reach into the pocket of my shorts
And I laugh to myself as I take out my money
Showin' straight cash as I watch 'em clear the court
And I'm not afraid to show off my wealth and power
Rollin' away, countin' ends
As I leave, I'm still counting my money
On my way to Sizzler's, with my homie lover friend
And I'm going to Sizzler's with my perfect match
Said I need someone to satisfy my every need
And that's exactly what my homie lover friend gives me
Homie lover friend, oh
