From the heart of East Houston, Texas, comes Frankie — an artist who wears the title “storyteller” with pride. Inspired by legends like Tupac, Nas, Andre 3000, Big KRIT, J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, and Schoolboy Q, Frankie’s music is a lyrical journey that invites listeners into vivid worlds he crafts through his words.
Frankie’s sound is built on deep reflection and authenticity. “People call it lyrical. I hold the word storyteller in high regard,” he shares. “My whole thing is being able to paint a picture and a world for the listener.” That ability to connect and convey emotion is what sets him apart in a crowded hip hop scene.
In his home studio, creativity flows both in beats and bars. Frankie explains his process: “Writing is very much allowing the words to come to me. If it’s not there, I often don’t force it.” When it comes to beatmaking, the inspiration is multifaceted—sampling, drums, bass, rhythm, swing—there’s endless exploration and love for the craft. His collaboration with producer STIX, whom he calls “an alien” and “easily Top 3 producer in the world,” resulted in the single Yesterday. The track touches on mistakes from the past, personal growth, and the ongoing pursuit of excellence.
Life, with all its ups and downs, fuels Frankie’s motivation. “Allowing life to flow through me… for better and worse,” keeps his creativity authentic and raw. Beyond the music, he’s a devoted father who balances his career with responsibility, carefully planning his time to provide for his daughter while pursuing his passion.
Some career highlights have been monumental—getting a beat and praise from Logic, freestyling on On The Radar in Brooklyn, and headlining his first show nearly sold out. Yet, it’s personal loss, including the passing of his grandparents, that has given his music emotional depth and purpose.
Looking ahead, Frankie’s vision is clear: build a core fanbase, tour extensively, and sustain his family through his music. His message resonates loud and clear for every listener: Never give up. Always reflect, improve, and never settle.
