Years active 1995-present

Royal Fam is a Wu-Tang affiliated group with a seemingly flexible roster, centered around the omnipresent three of Timbo King, Dark Denim and Mikey Jarrett Jr. (of whom Timbo King is the defacto leader). Has included at various times Y-Kim The Ill Figure, Stoneface (now known as ShaRecka), Dreddy Kruger (now Wu-Tang's A&R), Q-Base, Roc & Jahrule. Like so many Wu-Tang affiliates Royal Fam have recorded an album but never had it released; an album titled Black Castle was so near release as to be given a catalogue number yet never saw the light of day beyond a few leaked tracks. Another Royal Fam album titled Yesterday, Today, Iz Tomorrow was leaked in 2000 without the group's knowledge or permission. Days, Months, Yearz was released but is very rare and hard to come across CD. It was announced that on November 22, 2005, Royal Fam would finally release their debut Black Castle through Nature Sounds Records.
