Frank White: Frank White | bio
Frank is in his first debut film as he plays himself in "At All Cost".
Frank White is back with his Highly Anticipated Album "Driven". The CD/DVD comes in a special package and is a Collector's Edition, limited versions will be printed. The CD has 20 tracks and the free DVD comes with a 30 minute Documentary and 3 Music Videos and Live Show performances. This CD includes some of the best rap artist in the state of Texas, including E.S.G from the Screwed Up Click which is featured on the song "Behind Tint". The album also features GodWon who is labeled as "Houston's Best Kept Secret"on the song "Ride Wit Me". Madd Hatter's own Reggie Jamz is also featured on the album with a slow song called "Dangerous". Frank really out did himself with this album with production from Multi-Platinum Producer Sean Blaze who is best known for the "Blood Houndz" Track on 50 Cent 10 million selling "Get Rich Or Die Tryin" work with Frank to produce some of the Hottest music heard this year!!The name may be ordinary, but Houston independent rap label owner Frank White has proven he’s an extraordinary businessman. With over a decade of experience, White is redefining how the world sees “southern country rap.” This album is considered to be Gangsta or reality rap, with songs like "What's Really Going" speaking on issues of the public trying to tell rappers what to say. "I feel like rappers should say what's on their minds, not what they think people want them to say or what they think people will agree with! I made this album to touch every emotion in your body, not just dance, but dance, not just kill, but think, this album is designed to feel what I see as a void in Hip-Hop, hopefully people will see the time I put into the album and understand the type of music I laid down. I have fun party songs, but I also have other songs speaking on political issues, like in "Hustle Hard Sleep Later" I talk about the hanging people in Texas. I went to school down the street from the prison where they hang people that was a life changing experience for me I was there when we hung a women, we didn't have to go to class because that was a historical day, I just couldn't believe it, when it happened. This world is real and we the people make rules and govern ourselves we don't understand the influence and power we have.
It was 1996 when White decided to leave his hometown of Amarillo, Texas and take his talents to the Bayou City, thinking Houston could bring more luck in the rap arena. It’s there that he developed a love of “Screw Music" and the Houston style of rap.
"When I first moved to Houston, I met "Big Hawk" and he greeted me with open arms even though he didn’t know who the hell I was! Once I found out how open armed the game was, I decided to pursue my career as an indie label owner (Unkutt Records) with my brother Prez-D and a writer and producer.”
The brothers’ hard work is paying off. With seven releases from Unkutt Records and sales that are turning heads (they sold 25,000 units independently), White and his brother are looking at a bright future in the rap game. And they’re working with some of the best talents to make that happen.
“The beats in our music are hot,” White said. “They’re produced by Q-Stone, who also produced for Slim Thug, Trae of Guerilla Maab, and Z-Ro.”
White – has worked with artists from California, New York and Texas, including Sean Blaze who has worked with 50 cent on the Get Rich or Die Trying album and Chammillionaire on the Sound of Revenge.
White’s job is not without its difficulties. Among the most challenging, obtaining a distribution company he can trust to handle his music.
“Getting distribution deals are difficult right. Independent labels are struggling with finding individual handling as the music industry is moving away form the store front.” White said.
White is confident if anyone can make it happen, he can. His goal is to prove himself as an artist, produce quality music, stay consistent day to day and grow as an artist.”
And with multiple projects on his plate, White believes the sky is the limit.
“Five years from now, I see myself as part of the new revolution in the music industry. Since I hate to lose and love to win, I know I’ll make that happen!!
Frank has also parlayed his skills to acting starring in his first debut "At All Cost" a movie that was patterned off his life. The movie is also a great buy if you don't have it already.
