Robert McDonald Jr, creatively known as iAmKingEarl, can be described and characterized as many things: a Lyricist, Writer, Wordsmith, Podcaster, Artist, Musician, Knowledge Seeker, Truth Teller and even a Spiritual Advisor, Life Coach and Motivational Speaker. However, these are all traits of his that ones can easily come to discover after spending just a little time with him or delving into his many creative works. Although, when asked- and trust he’s asked this often -to give just one word to describe himself or his music, without fail, the one word he’d always choose, Revolutionary.
In everything that he does, iAmKingEarl makes it transparently clear that his goal- my apologies, his purpose in life, is to shift the culture and change the world. Thus the creation of Acquiring Glory, LLC.
Born in Dallas, TX, and raised in the heart of Oak Cliff, iAmKingEarl has seen and experienced a lot of different things- both positive and negative, happy and sad -all reflected in his art and music. Influenced by his neighborhood surroundings, his family and peers, the happenings of the world around him, the country he lives in and the history/future of his people, iAmKingEarl proudly and unapologetically exhibits a poise and versatility in sound, perfected by his many years in marching band.
iAmKingEarl has graced many stages as a performing artist, sharing his gift throughout his hometown of Dallas, TX and other cities throughout the state of Texas such as, Houston, Austin and San Antonio. For his latest project, “For What It’s Worth,” the EP, iAmKingEarl had a mixtape release party at Chop Shop Victory Park, located directly in front of the AAC where the Dallas Mavericks and Stars play. It was also on that night where he promised to one day headline his own sold out show there.
His most notable performance to date so far was his appearance at Dallas Lit Fest 2, hosted by All Vybes and Hitmakers Empire, where he did a live podcast interview and performance video which is scheduled to be released soon.
While some of his tracks and topics can come off as rigid or gritty in nature (you’ll come to learn that he loves to press buttons and push boundaries), he displays a profound musical versatility being able to create vivid imagery of the stories he tells about life, love and the pursuit of happiness in this beautifully twisted world.
iAmKingEarl is truly a breathe of fresh air and at the moment, Dallas’ best kept secret.
