Always well-dressed King Bogus, The Monarch, a Savannah native, has been making waves in the city and abroad. A former engineer in the Grammy award winning studio of Bangladesh, King Bogus has captured ear drums and respect on his travels. A lyrical standout, relentless MC and sometimes crooner; King Bogus has given listeners consistent and relatable content that draws from many genres.

King Bogus, The Monarch has been hard at work earning his regal title. The Savannah rapper recently released his latest album, “Death of a Simp,” to great response, with the record producing over 20,000 streams its first day, and tracks appearing on Spotify curated playlists.

A self-professed reading fanatic, King Bogus found his way to writing lyrics through family tragedy. When he was in the 5th grade, three of his grandparents passed away in rapid succession one month after the other. The shock to King Bogus and his family caused him to become dejected and mentally check out of school, until one day he began to express his troubled feelings in poetry.

Because of his older brother’s interest in music and 90’s rap, King Bogus began to think about rapping as a way to someday impress him.
