Roll Out the Red Carpet is the only solo studio album American rapper Royal C of the Hard Boyz. It was released on August 13, 1996 via Epic Street. Recording sessions took place at the Hit Mecca and D.A.R.P. Studios in Atlanta. Produced entirely by Colin Wolfe, it features contributions from Joi, Javonne Walker and Theopilus Glass Chip.

Background

Charles "Royal C" Hood, whose group the Hard Boyz had recently joined Atlantic Records, had also signed a deal with a major label, Epic Records, who placed Royal C on their subsidiary Epic Street, which specialized in the hip-hop genre. Epic released the album on August 13, 1996 with popular hip-hop/R&B producer Colin Wolfe producing the entire album. With the exception of a music video for the album's lead single "They Don't Want None", Epic failed to promote the album and it did not do well sales-wise, which eventually led to Epic dropping Royal C from the label.
