FRANKIE BIGGZ
Interviewed by Angela

 

Who is in your group and what do they do or play? Who's in my group? I have the greatest hype guy an M.C. could ever have, his name is D.I.P. , with out this guy on stage with me, it would be pretty hard, but together we rock the crowd right. I'm still in the process in looking for a D.J. right now. As far as anyone else, I have a whole stage crew right now that I work with on the bigger type shows, people like video editors, camera operators, and sound guys..

Where did your name originate and what does it mean to You?

This is a great question, my name came from my whole family, when I was a little punk, they'd all call me "Chunky" Well that stayed with me through the years and one day my older brother was making fun of me by calling me " MC Frankie Chunky " so I was like " I'm big I ain’t chunky" and then I stopped short and was like "Frankie Biggz" It was like BAM ! there it is " Frankie Biggz".

How would you describe your music in your own words?

DETROIT...and trust me , I get this a lot, my style is my own, however people tell me that I sound a lot like
a " Latin Eminem " it's not in my voice as much as it's in my flow, but really, that flow comes from being around Mc’s in Detroit, and having the opportunity to produce a couple of these katz. people say to me a lot, " Why you wanna rap like Eminem dog." First off, I'm NOT trying to! And second off, by saying that to me whether you like me or not, is comparing me to him, and I'll take that comparison as a compliment. That Mother Fucker (Eminem) sells a lot of records and has the Best Production money can buy, I on the other hand am Producing myself as well as writing , so when I'm being compared to him, I think: all I gotta do is sell about 5% of what that man sells to his own audience and I'll be COOL! 5% of 25 million copies sold. That’s a lot of fucking Records in the Latin Industry. You do the math, So Thanks for the comparison STUPID !

Is your music exclusively in Spanish or do you have English songs too?

My record as of this moment is in English , however through the next few month I'll be in Miami Fla. working with my A&R team in translating the English into Spanish as well. I'll be one of the few people ever to release two records at the same time in English and in Spanish world wide.

How do you feel that everyone has treated you since you started in the music biz?

That’s a loaded question for sure. Having to deal with two labels, One on the English side and the other for the Spanish, can be a real treat indeed. Sometimes it's hard to understand what it is that they wanna do with me. One label feels this way, and the other feels another way. so I'm caught in the middle, But they treat me with a lot of respect, and I think the biggest reason is because number one, I'm producing this record by myself, and number two, I'm engineering it, and mixing it by my self .So all together what I do as Frankie Biggz is really a rare thing to find in any industry. They've giving me with a lot of creative control in my career, so for me that’s a lot of respect shown on both sides.

Is there any new albums, demos, videos or anything else that is scheduled to be released in 2005?

For 2005 , My record will be released sometime this Summer, there's been no street date as of yet. As for Video's, I'm shooting my first one now Independently for the underground. Street date on that release is May 3 2005.
