I spoke with battle rapper and hip hop artist, Frak on this episode. We chopped it up about quite a few topics........
We talked about his early days as a 14 year old in his first rap group, rapping on a Kanye West forum back in the day with Kevin Abstract of Brockhampton (2:17), how Frak initially got into battle rap through Tourettes Without Regrets as well as the benefits of concurrently being a freestyle and written battler (3:48), the concept of Bar Pong and how it's the Reading Rainbow of battle rap (6:34), Frak's new album "Limewire '03" and how it all came together (8:38), Talkback controversy with the Jordan Holloway profile and if a Yung Republicans match up will materialize with Frak (12:08), getting love from guys like Kendrick and E-40 (13:53), the back story to performing with Earth, Wind, and Fire (16:41)......
Frak asked me about whether I tripped out Dunsh or The Saurus when I interviewed them (18:00), getting awkward questions from family and friends about what battle rap is (18:37), being a teacher who freestyles with students as his day job (19:48), battles that fell out and who he wants to battle in 2018 (24:07), participating overseas in Spin the Mic and traveled over with Caustic (27:26), trying to monetize his efforts as an artist via merchandising, crowd funding, etc (30:32), who the sex god's ultimate "shoot your shot" woman would be (32:46), and more!
