Between Flatbush Ave and Canarsie in a neighborhood called Old Mill Basin in Brooklyn is where the 24 year-old Italian/American Frank B. call's his home and hip-hop is what he calls his passion. He wouldn't put him self in the category of a "rapper" but being a true lyricist is definitely a category he falls into.

Frank B's lyrics clearly demonstrate the raw talent that he possesses and the strong out look that he has on life. Frank B is also known for his metaphorical style of writing, for example, these are some excerpts from some of his written material ; " wordsmith spit it perfect / u never herd shit / my verses / get up under skin an make ya nerves twitch / catch me in the 55 white drop like birdshit / interior is perfect / shit u couldnt purchase " & On a more serious note he also writes about important issues in life and the obstacles that you have to go through to achieve your goals and dreams "Sometimes I ask myself am I scared of success / can I bare this distress / I'm shooten for the top and ill be damned if it's less/ I demand the respect /I stand in my flesh /id be the same man in a tan Gs lex / or Gucci uptowns an the fanciest sweats" Those excerpts are just a small taste of how diverse and creative this artist really is.
