Breaking Atoms: The Hip Hop Podcast

The Royal Flush Fan Appreciation Society

Ep. 185

Royal Flush is one of our favourites; our listeners know this to be true. Last month, news broke that Royal Flush had been diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer. With that said, we wanted to make our love for Royal Flush even more known and do what we could to raise awareness about his situation and what we could do to help.


The family of Royal Flush are asking for our support during this challenging time. Your donations will go directly towards Royal Flush's medical bills, ongoing treatments and other essential expenses. Click here to donate.


Now go and play Ghetto Millionaire... LOUD!
