I watched FR4NKIE’s “To Be Frank” video and frankly, you should too.
The latest visual offering from the UK rapper shows the raw energy and evolution of his sound, leaving no doubt about his growth as an artist.
Directed by the talented Ellis Dawg, the video unfolds against the gritty backdrop of London’s streets. It’s a perfect canvas for FR4NKIE’s street-savvy lyricism, with collaborator LPNoID adding depth to the track’s hard-hitting narrative.
“This video really captures the essence of what I’m trying to convey with ‘To Be Frank,’ FR4NKIE shares. “It’s about being real, being honest, and showing the streets as they are.”
“To Be Frank” is just one record from FR4NKIE’s critically acclaimed project, “The Overview Effect,” which has been making serious waves across the UK music scene. The project has caught the attention of industry heavyweights, earning continuous airplay and coverage from BBC Radio 1, BBC 1xtra, Kiss FM, Kiss Fresh, and Rinse FM.
For those new to FR4NKIE’s journey, the artist formerly known as XP Burstgang has been a talent in the UK Rap scene for over a decade. His resume includes victories at prestigious events like Lord of the Mics and Red Bull’s Grime-A-Side tournaments, and his versatility shines through in collaborations with industry icons like Mike Skinner and President T. While his roots are in Grime, he’s successfully ventured into trap, drill, and even ballads, constantly pushing the boundaries of his sound.
“The Overview Effect” represents FR4NKIE’s growth, blending his trademark street sound with deeper, more reflective themes. It’s a project that not only shows his lyricism but also his maturity as an artist willing to explore new musical territories.
