FRANTIC FRANK, most commonly known as English Frank, back in 2008 released the album entitled THE HARD WAY. It took just three and a half months to write and record, and was mastered at the renowned Exchange by well-known engineer Mike Marsh, and the cover art was designed by world-famous graffiti artist Zombie.
Frantic Frank is a super spitter from South London, who has been making music on the underground for years, building up a loyal following and releasing several mix tapes including the ground breaking \"Freedom of Speech\", as well as the album \"Frantic Frank 'An Da Kraftsmen\".
Frantic pens all his own material, writing daily and spending hours on end at the studio. Some of his legendary performances have taken place at venues such as Plan B and Speaker's Corner in Brixton, as well as at Kung Fu.
Frank is part of South London rap crew the Kraftsmen, whose members consist of Prodigal Son, Manic Madnick and Mic Righteous, all of whom feature on the album. He is also a part of the People's Army, which is a collective of thousands of rappers coming together to promote harmony within the hip hop scene.
\"I hope to change people's lives\", says Frantic. \"I'm not trying to change the industry in any way, it can stay how it wants to stay. But I'll still be here making music whether the mainstream like it or not\".
