It has most definitely been a minute but the British bulldog himself English Frank is BACK with his eagerly anticipated debut album “Frankenstein”.
Achieving a large amount of recognition since appearing on the scene back in 2011, and having since then collectively achieving 15 million + Youtube views, Frank has undeniably left his mark on the UK’s rap scene in the short amount of time he has been active upon it.
Perhaps most famously recognised for his unpredictable energy and controversial content English Frank still holds the title of being the highest viewed rapper on musical media giant SBTV to date. Whether it's the complex delivery or the passionate and aggressive style he uses to rhyme, there’s definitely something about Frank that people continue to want to see more of. Now feeling that the timing is right, this new year sees the return of Frank bringing much awaited new material to the table via “Frankenstein” after not releasing anything for a year and a half. The eagerly anticipated project sees each track collectively coming together to offer fans an honest insight into where Frank is now at musically in 2014 whilst reminding people of why he grabbed our attention so abruptly back in 2011.
With tracks such as “Defining Moment” being a self-professed favourite of Frank’s, we get to see the transition he documents to his audience from youth to adulthood and a story of pain to gain featuring the vocals of Liverpudlian conscious artist Ayode Soul. “Outlaw” is another raw track that tells an un-glorified account of a young girl and boy’s story trying not to get brought down by the series of unfortunate events thrown at them on the streets - reminding people that mistakes aren’t always our fault, things happen everyday but it’s how we bounce back that defines us. Hard-hitting tracks like these provide an effective contrast to tunes more for the clubs like “150 Names” and “Any Genre”. Any Genre orchestrates vibes across Grime, Pop, House and Drum n Bass showcasing Frank’s ability to appreciate all genres whilst staying true to his original style.
The 15 track LP features collaborations with artists such as Margs, Don Jaga, Big Narstie and Mic Righteous amongst others.
