Exclusive Interview: Frankpo

[Boss]

What is your name and what city do you rep?

Frankpo, Queens NY

What is unique about you and your music?

Up-and-coming Hip Hop Artist. Songwriter. Entrepreneur. Ambassador of Positive Change

What shaped your music? 

Inspire people through the power of musical storytelling

When did you realize you were going to make music professionally? 

rap has always been personal for me. A reflection of my pass. But when I relocated to VA 2 years ago I started my own company (16MLLC). Which has lead me to believe more in myself and team as a business not only an artist. 

What type of music do you listen to? 

I’m open minded when it comes to what I listen to. If a record grabs me 30 secs into a song. 9 out of 10 chances I will listen to the whole song. Old school, New school, hip hop, R&B etc.

Who, to you, is the most undervalued music artist? 

I’m originally from Queens so I might stand alone on this Lol but I feel Stack Bundles is most undervalued music artist. It’s unfortunate how his life ended early but his aura was different when you met him. His passion for the game was at all time high. His work ethic was unmatched. His style, charisma, and skill was something the game has been and always will be missing.

How do you prepare for your performances? 

I pray before all shows. Water is a necessity and good marijuana Lol. 

What ignites your (song) writing flow? 

marijuana, headphones at the highest volume, peace and quiet

What do you do when you don’t do music (creative or otherwise) and that you are passionate about? 

When I’m not doing music. I’m designing for my apparel side of my company, filming & editing. 

Success to you is… 

success is being able to afford to work for yourself doing what you love to do.

What do you wish you were told when you first started rapping that you think would help artists starting out? 

no one should believe in you more then you believe in yourself, Dream bigger then your environment, and nothing grows in a comfort zone
