When COVID-19 brought the world to a standstill, it wasn’t just homes and businesses that went into lockdown—dreams were put on hold, creativity was stifled, and entire industries were shaken to their core. But out of the chaos and frustration, Pasadena’s very own Regal Rapstar turned adversity into artistry with his unapologetic anthem, “F the Coronavirus.” Released in March 2024 as the title track of his 4-track EP, the song and its accompanying music video have since stood as a bold declaration of survival, resilience, and defiance against the pandemic’s disruptions.
For Regal Rapstar, the pandemic wasn’t just a global crisis - it was personal. When the music industry ground to a halt, he found himself battling frustration and uncertainty, just like millions of others. Determined to turn that energy into something meaningful, he penned “F the Coronavirus” as a way to speak not just for himself but for everyone affected by the virus’s grip on the world.
Built on sharp lyricism, anthemic beats, and unrelenting energy, “F the Coronavirus” captures the anger, exhaustion, and ultimate triumph of a society determined to move forward. “I wanted to make a song that speaks for everybody,” Regal Rapstar explains. “This isn’t just about me; it’s about everyone who felt trapped, frustrated, or lost during that time. I had to make something powerful—something that people could look back on as a reminder of how strong we can be.”
The music video for “F the Coronavirus” brings the track’s raw energy to life with visuals that feel as much like a short film as a traditional hip-hop video. Gritty, dramatic, and poignant, the video serves as a narrative of humanity’s fight against the virus, depicting scenes of masked resilience and survival amidst a world turned upside down. It’s a visceral reminder of the pandemic’s impact and a creative snapshot of how communities found ways to adapt and persevere. “The video was meant to feel like a movie,” Regal Rapstar says. “I wanted it to be a visual representation of everything we went through and everything we overcame.”
The “F the Coronavirus” EP also includes standout tracks like “Sci Fi Sur Ga” and its remix, as well as “Doggystyle,” which provide a dynamic backdrop to the title track. Each song adds a unique layer to the project, but it’s clear that “F the Coronavirus” remains the centerpiece—a social vaccine delivered through music.
Regal Rapstar’s verses don’t hold back. His lyrics cut straight to the heart of the frustration many felt during the pandemic. With references to cultural touchpoints, the song fuses clever wordplay with universal emotions, creating an anthem that’s both personal and widely relatable. The chorus, “I got the touch like Midas, it’s Regal Rapstar minus the Coronavirus,” is a hook that stays with listeners long after the track ends, a testament to the rapper’s skill at crafting memorable, impactful music.
With “F the Coronavirus,” Regal Rapstar has immortalized a moment in history, turning pain into power and frustration into fuel. It is more than music - it’s a testament to humanity’s collective will to fight, adapt, and overcome. Whether you’re revisiting those pandemic years or simply looking for an anthem of strength, Regal Rapstar’s “F the Coronavirus” is here to remind you: the battle was hard-fought, but the victory is ours.
