New track here from Franko Fraize. Franko goes in with the flow he is best known for over a laid back 150bpm beat. The beat was originally vocalled by Freddie Gibbs, Bun B, Chip Tha Ripper and Chuck Inglish for the track 'Oil Money'. Franko shows how a UK mc can really suit that dirty south type vibe.

The perfect excuse to post something by Apollo Brown, Franko Fraize pinches a beat off the Detroit producer's recent Clouds beat tape and makes it his own.

Franko Fraize is an MC I've been supporting for a couple of years now . I featured him on the 'On The Radar' series and have seen him go from strength to strength. His latest release is the free download 'The 140 Show'. Franko has never hidden his love for both Hip Hop and Grime and this release sees him perform both styles admirably. Mosttracks are a fusion of both styles whilst many tracks stray into Dubstep territory, with a general slant towards electronica. All tracks are produced by [...]

Something new from Franko Fraize that pinches a loop from the Les McCann song of the same name, and which you might recognise from 90s-era New Yorkers Cella Dwellas' debut. Keep up with Franko on Soundcloud.

Name: Franko Fraize Age: 24 From: Thetford Track on 'On The Radar': 'Blood of the Earth' Tell us the story behind the track: The track was a little track we made for Chronicredeye's up coming project 'Ruffneck Interlect'. DJ IC made the beat and me and Lyrical T went in on a Wu vibe. The tracks got a nice rugged Hip Hop vibe that gets a good reaction when we perform it [...]

Thetford's Franko Fraize and Lyrical T first EP is here - 'Something in the Making'. Kicking off with a couple of string-laden Hip Hop tracks before a Grime excursion on 'MCs Don't Know'. Then you get 2 more slabs of Hip Hop until the Shakedown sampling dubstep haunter that is 'Seems I Can't Deny' wobbles speakers. Dubby Reggae comes next followed by some Bassline-ish Dubstep whilst some Electro-Dub finishes things off. You get the picture - when Fraize raps "I'm not straight Hip Hop, I crossover" on 'Something in the Making', he meant it. This approach certainly keeps [...]

Got a couple of nice tracks from Thetford MC Franko Fraize whose EP with rhyming partner Lyrical T will be out soon. Franko Fraize is cast in the classic MC mould and UK Hip Hop courses through his veins - something evident in his lyrics and delivery. 'Gutter Street' is extremely reminiscent of Phi-Life Cypher, which by all accounts is a good thing. On this track Franko spits frenetically about life and death over a hypnotic beat. The second track [...]

Don't let image issues fool you (emcee Redeye is one of those white Rasta types), 'Knowledge is King' is actually a pretty good representation of that Hip Hop meets Jungle meets Reggae type sound. Don't let the Norwich accent or the slightly slurpy delivery put you off either. Redeye's recognisable voice sets him apart from other MC's simply because no-one else sounds like him. Aside from that, the lyrics are well written and appealing. Almost crew members Franko Fraize and Lyrical T show up pretty often and surprise American guests are Main Flow and Bronze Nazereth. [...]
