Are we feeling good?

It's hump day for

us.

Yes, it is.

Yes, indeed.

So first and foremost, got to give you your flowers.

Always say it.

I've been saying that a huge fan will continue to be a fan.

To me, you bring a different type of energy to the city.

You bring a necessary energy to the city.

I feel like you are gonna go down in history as one of the best to do it from Milwaukee, and keep inspiring me.

Every time I look up on Instagram, I be dying laughing, because it'd be so dope, but it'd be funny.

The stuff that he comes up with is out of the box.

I just seen you with a wig on, on like a animated video, I don't know if it's the newest song.

Yeah, it's fire.

Fire.

Yeah.

Fire.

Fire.

So let's get into it.

Who is Big Frank?

Man, I'm Big Frank.

You know what I'm saying?

Like, Bernardo, when you hear Big Frank, man, think of it just a kid from the hood, you know what I'm saying?

Coming up with a lot of dreams, trying to make everybody happy.

I mean, I can't please the world, you know what I'm saying?

Everybody ain't gonna like you, but...

You gotta focus on the people that do love, you know what I mean?

Because that's what matters the most.

And what's about Frank?

Frank be lit, man.

Yeah.

Frank be lit.

24-7.

Yeah.

So I see you have a streamer's university.

You guys created, like, a streamer's university.

Yeah, uh, Codges, uh, announced the application for the streaming university.

It ain't even gotta be me, bro.

Just somebody from the city, bro.

Yes.

Somebody.

Gotta get on there.

Did they use your song, didn't

they?

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

They use the song.

Yeah, yeah.

So somebody gotta get on there.

It ain't even got, no, low key.

It ain't even gotta be me, bro.

It could be anybody else from Milwaukee, bro.

Any content created from Milwaukee, from MKE on that stream.

We up one.

Yeah,

yeah.

For sure.

Absolutely, absolutely.

But I do think y'all deserve it.

I'm not gonna lie.

I do think y'all deserve it.

I also think that it would be dope if someone else from the city got it.

But I do think y'all deserve it.

And I would love to see that.

I would.

But if they invite me,

it's a wrap.

Oh,

it's a wrap.

Yes, indeed.

They got another

thing coming.

Yes, indeed.

I'm gonna be in there wildin'.

Out of everything you did, what's your favorite Big Frank moment?

You know what's crazy?

My favorite moment was back in 2022 when I did that show in Atlanta in order.

I thought it was just me.

I thought I was only getting booked because it was a 21 Savage birthday party and I got booked for that.

So I'm thinking I'm just gonna be the one to open up for 21 Savage.

And so I came there, I see a whole lot of different celebrities.

I'm like, whoa, hold on, wait.

The first dude I seen was Lil Yachty.

I'm like, all right, that's Lil Yachty.

I'm talking to the promoters and he's like, yeah.

Duh, you know what I'm saying?

And then I got on stage, I did my thing.

Ray Schrummer come out.

What's dude name?

This is a bad time saying this name right now.

Pete Diddy's son, King Cones.

Dude, King Cones.

I seen him, I'm like, oh, that's lit.

Oh, bro, bad boy.

I'm like, yeah.

Then I'm like, who else came out there?

Laquille was there.

Then the last person, Drake was there.

And I lost my mind when I seen him.

I said, aw, man.

I made it.

Mama, I made it.

So you telling me I should have the same stage with this man?

I'm like, hey, that was a moment for me.

was a

moment for me.

I can tell that.

I

can

say that to my kids.

You know what I mean?

Out of all of the music you made this far, what is your favorite one?

Your favorite project, favorite song, favorite video, which one you like the most?

Taco's in tequila was overly tight.

I had to say to y'all, shout out fella, man, for the uh, what's the name for the, for the merch.

Yeah, shout out fella.

So yeah, man.

So I'm like, I'm like, man, that ain't gonna mess with it because, you know what I'm saying?

It was like a different crowd out there.

So I was thinking like, man, that ain't gonna get turned to me.

And I was the first one.

So I was like, it was like butterflies going everywhere.

I don't even know why I was scared, but I was.

But as soon as I came out there,

And I like I performed like a song that nobody knew yet And they were still overly like it was still like in gig because they seen the presence and stuff like that.

Oh, yeah, I'm good now So I got out of that some like

yeah, this turk.

Yeah, you get to meet some celebrities backstage.

Uh, I met P.D.

Pablo I met him already.

I got a song with P.D.

Pablo, but yeah, I got a song with P.D.

Pablo.

It's old though.

I ain't dropping it.

I don't like it

We can do better than that.

You know what I mean?

We can do

better than that.

I met Soulja Boy a little bit.

It was like a hurry up.

Like a

hurry

up.

I couldn't really vibe like that, but I ain't get to meet Rick Ross.

I met Frankie J. Hey, let's do that shit.

That was a good song during when we was 18.

I met Mims, this is why I'm hot.

This is why I'm hot.

Y'all know that, right?

Okay,

okay.

Y'all ain't

vibing with vibe with

me.

No, we waiting for you.

I mean, that wasn't my favorite song at the time.

I mean, it

was a number

one hit, but that wasn't my,

I mean, you know.

Mims has a better song.

Yeah, he

has a

better

song.

Yeah.

That's all I meant.

So as someone who is, we were talking last week about how a lot of artists from Milwaukee

are not homegrown, how they always leave, they never come back.

How has it been with the success you've had in still being a citizen of Milwaukee?

Physically being here, still moving and grooving throughout the city while you're elevating your career?

It's a good thing and it's a bad thing.

Let me talk about the good first.

I'm not just a rapper.

Like I'm a caring person like when I see people out in the public I talk to them.

I acknowledge them.

I don't like The whole big Frank stuff go out the window like I'm really like a people's person

You know

I mean I'm people be saying like oh dude look mean I don't want to walk up to him, but all the time it ain't like that

Yeah,

you just gotta you know I'm saying just interact with me You know I'm saying just just chop it up with me and I swear like I'm the coolest person ever like but yeah when I see the people I talked to him and everything

And I be out here like on my bike and stuff.

I talk to the kids and see me.

I stop talking to the kids.

But then the bad on the bad end, man, it's a lot of stuff to say about that.

But on the bad end, people be like, oh, man, dude, dude's still here.

He ain't he ain't doing nothing.

Some stuff like that.

Yeah.

Why should I pay to go see?

Why should I pay to go see him?

He probably don't burn a lot somewhere.

You know what I'm

saying?

Like, you get that type of hate too.

So, yeah, that's how I put it.

We still win it, baby.

That's right.

That's how I

put it.

Y'all seen you put something in your story about that.

You trying to keep the business, the business.

Yeah.

For sure.

Got to.

Yeah.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

Well, I'm glad that you're here.

I mean...

It's worth it.

I'm also, you know, I also want to shout you out too.

The very first time we ever, I remember Frank, we booked him for a locking program, me and Von did.

And that's when I seen like his commitment in the community, like when it comes to these kids, that's the most important thing to me is like, you can make the best move music, but if you don't have a sense of community.

then what is it all for?

You know what I mean?

So, every time I see you, you're always, to your point, you're always interacting with the people.

To me, I feel like that's what makes you the most successful.

Like your music is fire, but your love for your community and city, the way that they hold you down, you hold them down.

And I just want you to keep doing that because it matters.

As you can see, you got...

Kids running to the window, right?

But I appreciate it.

I just wanted to give you your flowers on that.

I appreciate that.

It's not a lot of artists from the crib that do that.

They don't do it at all.

Meach.

I mean, Frank, no.

I mean, we done done a lot

already.

Behind the scenes in, just in front of the public on stage and stuff, just the energy he bring is just kind of unmatched.

You

know

what I mean?

You know, the songs, the consistency of songs he keep giving

in the

city to kind of party to kind of do all of that.

And just setting the example of how to go from, you know, being like a comedian, looked at as a comedian to really pursuing the rap career and really sticking to it even when people say, man, you should go back or, you know, they got their own.

Views of how he should do it.

You

know what I mean?

He's steady sticking to his formula.

You know I mean you going from backpack to to eat way to eat a rub.

Yeah, so there it is.

You know I mean and They got to keep up.

Yeah, they do we got to talk about that the beginning of your journey and how you started We got to go to break to pay some bills.

I was listening to you.

You're right.

I was listening to that.

I was listening to cuckoo cow.

I was listening to much because much was rapping back

then.

I

was listening to BC the Kid.

I was listening to the L book.

I was

listening to all that.

Twang Entertainment, Tess O'Lo, R.P.

Tess, I was listening to all of that, Bandkit, all of that.

I

was

listening to

everything.

You came up in that

area.

So you got a joint with Cuckoo and Baby Drew?

Yeah.

Come on now.

That's got it.

I got

both of them on the track.

How did that come about?

Tell us the story.

You know what's crazy?

We was listening to Baby Drew old songs.

And I'm like, I'm finna sample one of Baby Drew old songs.

Cuckoo Cow took this man about three weeks.

It got done, then they sent him out.

I mean, I dropped the audio.

It went viral on Facebook, but it didn't really do too much on YouTube because I got to drop video to that.

I think it's dope and it's important because a lot of, you know, different generations, they don't really do collapse with the people that came before them.

Like, we rarely ever see it.

And then to have both of them, they haven't been on the track together since you don't want to see it.

What's so crazy?

I knew exactly what happened.

It's crazy.

Check it out.

Check it out.

You hear me?

You driving with me?

You in the passenger seat?

Say less.

So look, I was doing a skit because you remember we was talking about the skits and stuff like doing the comedy.

I did because I used to rap like do the rap parodies back there.

It used to like try to rap like everybody else.

That's what I was doing.

If you know me, know me when I had to dress doing a rap parody.

So yeah.

So I pulled up that beat on YouTube.

I'm like, this beat too fire.

I'm like, all right, say less.

I pulled the beat up and I was just playing, so I just started rapping on it.

I'm like, oh, this going crazy.

So when I did the video, it's crazy.

Dude, when I did the video, I was on the toilet.

So I was putting the phone by me, I

was

just asking, hey, too many, too many, hey, and then it went viral.

So I'm like, okay.

All right, we got the videos coming, then every, like, all the celebrities was doing it.

NBA Youngboy, Baby Momma was doing it.

NBA Youngboy, Kids was doing it.

Lotto was doing it.

Everybody was doing it.

I'm like, oh yeah, this the one.

And then SZA followed me, ASAP.

Yeah, oh god.

There was a lot of people following me just, man, going crazy.

That's when you knew you had one?

Yeah, that's how I knew it.

That's how I knew it was it.

But what I messed up about it was, I wasn't doing no interviews.

I wasn't flying out to do no videos because a lot of platforms that do videos and stuff like that was telling me they're like,

Give me a free flight.

Let me shoot the video for you.

From the block hit me up.

I

didn't do it.

All the platforms hit me up.

I did not do it.

I thought I was just gonna do it just by myself, but that was a lesson learned

up.

You end up doing all that when you had Eater

Up.

See, I had to go through it to learn it.

So when Eater Up came up, I did all that.

Went to Texas to do From the

Block.

Yeah, I remember that.

I did all

that.

That's fire.

So the experience down in South by Southwest or just like you said, you had to go through it to learn it.

Like you have any other other things for the for the youth to that's going through music right now that could be discouraged when they when they miss opportunity.

Man, they got to keep going.

They got to they and they got to take criticism too.

Like we can be listening to something right now.

You cannot rock with it and not and not and not mess with it.

I take it home.

and make something out of it, and it go up.

You gonna be like, dang, you did that.

I wasn't messing with it.

Just like that.

Like, so, yeah, man, for the youth, man, y'all just gotta keep going, man.

Y'all just stop listening to what other people say, because that's, I mean, it'll make you mad a little bit, make you feel some type of way, but hey, if you feel it in your heart that you got it, better do it.

What was the transition like going from content creation to artists?

I was doing both.

At the same time.

But it's

like the artist was just like popping more.

So I leaned over to the artist more.

Yeah.

So like, yeah,

yeah.

You're going from one of the funniest.

Yeah.

Yeah.

To one of the hottest.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

My kids were doing it.

They was they was all in when when he was doing a content creation.

I think all the kids.

So what's your

favorite funny video?

You know what I mean?

It's just me and bro.

But

we

mused with Rock Nation, though, for like a year.

It was good.

I feel like I ain't needed them because it was like... I was still doing me, bro.

I ain't gonna lie.

I'm hard headed because when I feel like something hit,

And I know it's gonna hit.

I'm still gonna do it.

Yeah.

I'm still gonna do

it.

Rock Nation didn't believe.

Hell, no, they didn't believe that.

They didn't believe that, bro.

They didn't believe which one?

Which song?

There

it is.

They didn't even set that up.

That was me and Sonny.

I did that on my

own.

They just... We're gonna get it cleared and stuff like that.

I ain't trying to hear it.

But yeah, though, like,

if they do all that, it's at three million views.

Yeah, four million.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But yeah, though, I feel like, man, if you got the right people behind you, man, the right team and tell you the right thing.

Them labels don't really be putting on.

I mean, it worked for some people, though.

Yeah.

You know what I'm saying?

It worked for some people, but it ain't worked.

I think it don't work for me.

It's a different day in age, too.

Like, y'all don't really need labels.

Yeah, cause it's like, I don't, I don't need the machine, bro.

Like how the, how the way, how the way we just did it, like the going viral, like me licking up with Tommy, the mayor stuff, they calling us robbing big.

You remember the show?

They was calling us that how the way it was going viral.

You know what I'm saying?

Me and Nas still going viral.

I ain't, I really didn't need that.

I ain't need that label.

I ain't,

I

ain't need it.

I ain't need that.

I'm

doing me.

I know that's

right.

So, um.

But you having the most impact on the youth, how is you trying to use your influence on them to change what they think or what they got going on in the Milwaukee streets?

Man, bro, I know that's a lot.

Not for real.

It ain't known to you.

It ain't

known to you, but how can you use your influence?

I actually, you know what's crazy?

I actually got to go in the streets.

I got to talk to them.

You know what I'm saying?

It's like how they be doing like bad stuff out here.

somebody that they listen to and that they look up to, I think they need to talk to them.

Like me or some other rappers out here that they look up to.

You know what I mean?

If they just need to hear that, you know what I'm saying?

They just need to hear that good ear.

And we ain't gotta, you know, they going through so much stuff.

I don't want to be hard on them.

I just gotta, you know what I'm saying?

Just sit down, just have a peaceful talk.

Some may listen.

Some may don't listen.

But you did your part.

But I did my part.

to like, you know what I'm saying, trying to give them the courage and give them the, you know what I'm saying, the motivation, not even the motivation, just to just know what's right and know what's wrong, you know what I mean?

Oh, this can

happen.

Yeah.

You ever thought about pulling up to a teen takeover?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I thought about pulling up to a teen takeover just to like cut it out, but I don't want to be like, hey man, get your.

It's all gonna be that one person that's gonna talk crazy.

But yeah, it don't like, I be one to pull up to the teen tag.

We're like, man, this ain't it, bro.

I mean, if y'all pull up with the speakers and just throw a little

free concept.

They'll

get geek.

They'll get geek for show.

Then that's what I'm real a man.

Then I'm gonna talk to

them.

Yeah.

Absolutely.

Y'all got to just give them

something.

They

be, oh, I think Frank went

up.

Because that's unexpected.

Yeah.

And it's genuine.

They catch their attention.

Yeah.

So I was just wondering if

they know, if they know you ain't coming on OBS, they gonna, they gonna rock with you.

They gonna rock with you.

Because most of the time you see when

you put up.

Look at me throwing out solutions.

Let's go with

it.

I've been holding

that one.

Okay, me?

I've been holding all it.

You know, I mean, especially when you got the power to influence.

Yeah.

And if you around, you know, if you could pull up.

I mean, I don't expect to just do it.

Yeah.

Who's your top favorite five artists of all time?

In Milwaukee.

Oh, just anybody dead or alive.

We got T Grizzly number one.

We got JP number two.

I'm sorry to talk about Milwaukee.

Oh, what's dude name, bro?

What is this man named?

I'ma get back to it.

And I got Looney Baby.

So first and foremost, I love that.

And you don't have to apologize.

I think it's dope that only one of the artists was not from Milwaukee.

The other four was.

That's fire.

I mean, we some out there the other day too.

Like how Milwaukee, listen to Milwaukee now.

Yes.

We came up, it wasn't that

way.

It wasn't that way.

I mean, we had, we still had our industry like, you know, but it wasn't this.

Man,

every time I'm in the car, I'm playing Milwaukee, like Milwaukee music, Milwaukee art.

It's

almost, it's not a second thought.

At

all.

Like you just so used to playing like that's what's the hottest stuff in the street.

Yeah, it's natural.

Yeah.

So where do you see yourself the next year?

You know, what's your what's your hopes after the tour?

I just want to keep going up.

Just keep.

Doing the doing the damn thing

you

come up with a name for the tour Nope ain't coming

with

a

name with it yet.

I just know I'm

I think I would love to see some endorsements with you, like some really cool endorsements.

I think that'll be good.

I mean, we

created the glasses.

Yeah.

Yeah.

We

got the big Frank glasses.

I think that's fire, man.

I lost

all my goggles.

Come get some more, man.

Shut up, KV,

Playmaker.

Making plays, man.

I was trying to tell you.

I didn't know he was doing that.

He showed up.

I had to give it to him.

I had to give him the frame, because he wasn't there.

I'm like, he got some glasses when we came to the frame.

What glasses are you talking about?

He said, man, you just told me to do frame glass.

I told him to do it, but I know

he went and did it.

We have been talking about me and Meach on the show.

We've been talking about not just the teen takeovers, but just violence with the youth stuff for them to do.

They need something to do.

We were thinking about having a citywide water gun fight.

What you what you think that'll look like big Frank?

Water gun fight.

It may work.

So back in the day.

What we used to do is we used to pull up on people on the bus stops and spray them down with the water guns.

I

mean, they doing that now with uh, the pellet guns.

With

the pellet guns.

With real guns.

Yeah, they doing the pellet

guns.

Yeah, they show it.

I think we should do it.

And I think we should get everybody involved.

I think it'll be fire.

Water balloon fights.

I mean, I think if we get, it's really, if we get the sponsor to get the...

The balloons,

the water guns,

and we can really, you know, if it's, you know, hand them out like that, you'll see people using them past that day.

You know what I mean?

It just has to be enough.

You

know,

it just can't be an event.

You gotta be something like we passing them out for

free.

You

go have your own fun.

I think that'll be fine.

I did it like a little, me and Nas did it.

Nas just hit me up like, hey, let's do it like a little.

Let's throw a kickball event.

Yeah, y'all did do

that.

I was

lit.

I'm like, say less.

Go ahead, add y'all the picture there and put it in track, GPT.

Say kickball.

Then I'm like, yeah.

Then like, Penny Kins pulled up.

You know what I'm saying?

I'm like, come on, be on the team.

It was good.

It turned out real good.

There was a lot of people there.

There was a lot of people there.

And there was a lot of people just there to see us.

You know what

I mean?

Yeah, so love we got four one four big Frank in the building We got to break the pay some bills do not touch that dial one on one point seven the truth

building?

Yes,

indeed So Frank, huh?

Got you on your team online every day

Is it hard to stay together?

Yeah.

Because if he times like some big going on, the other person can't make it, then it's like, I gotta do it right there and there.

Like how we linked up with Zeddy.

Me, JP and Zeddy will link up when he came onto the baby tour.

Nas had his kid, so he couldn't come.

So I'm like, damn, all four of us, that would have been

turnt.

So like it's it's hard.

It's hard trying to like keep everybody together.

So what's what's like what is like having your brothers did but then having JP like that's on the same thing with his level he either took off

yeah

with it with just having that having somebody that close that that's going through the same

thing

Turn good.

Valid.

Good with me.

Y'all like share point and share

stuff?

Yeah, if I'm like in the wrong, he would tell me if he in the wrong, God tell him like it's good to have a brother like that, not a yes man all the time.

So, so yeah, it's like, we too locked in.

Just like with Nas, I'm locked in with him.

That's my, that's my dog.

Even though Nas shoutest in the mud, but that's my boy though, but he know right from wrong too.

Keep me on it, y'all know.

Man, bro, but that's my boy though.

Y'all

know it on TikTok.

Man,

bro.

For all of the young artists that's listening, what advice or what can you speak to as far as how important it is to have a team, like a real team, especially during the time like this?

Yeah.

How important is it to you?

It's way important and you can't do it yourself.

That's what I had to learn.

I thought I had to, thought I could do it myself.

That's why I was talking about that backpack stuff.

When that went viral, I thought I could do literally everything myself.

I think I was just, I ain't had that much attention like before and I'm just like, oh yeah man, if I could do this myself and do all this by myself.

You think

I got something to do with like today's music scene, like you record yourself, you find beats on YouTube, so everything else you will automatically think.

I can do it myself.

I'm doing this.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Because it's some young people that they're they're like a they're captured like a little viral song that go fed on TikTok or something.

They feel like they don't need nobody.

They can do it.

I'm telling you, brother.

Stuff go viral every day.

It go out that quick.

Yeah.

I'm telling you, like, and and people like kids are like, like, how can I say this?

A young person will drop a song here.

Go viral.

They're here.

Stop.

Drop it.

And he feel like that one song is just going to do it.

It ain't like that.

Yeah.

It ain't like that.

You got to you got to keep the other rhythm going.

Yeah.

So you experienced that?

Yeah.

Backpack.

Yeah.

I thought, like, man, I'm good.

Shout out to the boy, man.

JP, man.

You know, like, he don't do the music I make no more.

Like, the music we use make him do that no more.

You know, he do the R&B.

But we got so many songs, you'll think he'll still do it.

And it's like... Because he

ain't got you doing R&B.

It's a song, y'all got just like a barbecue song or something

like that.

Oh yeah, he got me.

It's called O4 Baby.

Yeah, you know what I'm saying?

O4 Baby, I like

that.

I'm like, okay, I'm gonna switch it up

there.

Y'all both on

there, old school sounding.

Facts.

Facts.

And it's good, and it's actually good.

Yeah,

that's fire.

And it's actually good.

But yeah, like he like he in the R&B phase right now.

He doing R&B and his R&B songs is fire.

But I told him like, yeah, man, I'm gonna still drop these songs.

The songs that I got you on, you know what I mean?

Just like the Chocolate Factory stuff.

That song, that

video two years old.

That's what I

was gonna

say.

That was a while ago when

they was

promoting that they be on the scene and stuff

that they did.

That video two years old.

The reason why I got dropped, because I'm not with them people no more.

So I'm like, you know what, cool.

Baby drop it.

Wait till I'm done and then I'm gonna drop it.

Then I dropped it and now it's doing numbers.

I knew it, bro.

If I would have dropped that like two years ago, it would have been hit a million.

It would have been hit a million.

Just like the last song we got, Locked In, That Side of Meal, the song we got, Oh.

That's that.

That's out of male.

Everything we drop is out of male.

So hopefully this one hit a male.

So just to keep you chimed in when we were talking about earlier, how was it when you turned 18?

How did you feel?

Like, did you feel grown?

Did you feel like I'm free?

I felt free.

Yeah.

Like, ooh, I could be out soft as 12.

God, let me go to the party.

How many out here?

So how much did you expect being 18?

Like, did your mama get on you by like, are you grown or, you

know?

No, my mama was still on that.

She didn't care about none of that.

Like, she like, boy, I know you 18 and all, but hey, but I'm glad she did that.

You know what I'm saying?

Like a mother like that man if she ain't tell me all that stuff.

I don't know what I'd be I don't know what I'd be doing

Yeah,

so it's like yeah, I'm happy she did that like getting on my tail getting on my heels and stuff like that

with the music scene here Do you feel like Milwaukee?

What do you feel like we need as far as for you guys for successful artists who are still living in Milwaukee?

What are we missing?

We missing like two pieces of that puzzle.

I don't know what it is.

I don't know.

I'll be thinking about that every day because literally everybody going crazy and they on way though.

Yeah, I feel like I don't know.

This is my opinion.

If this is my opinion, if people will come together, like how Atlanta do it.

Yeah.

Like how New York do it.

Yeah.

Tell them about T4TC, man.

You ain't get to perform.

It's for the city.

Yeah.

That was just that wasn't

it?

Like, you know what I mean?

If if man, you know how many people was there?

Yeah.

Oh my god.

I'll

be wanting

to do that

again.

I think we should do it again.

If it felt so good that day.

Yeah.

It was over.

It's probably a hundred degrees.

I ain't gonna lie.

It was

a hundred degrees,

but it was

like, I

felt like jump

jump for peace.

It was bigger than that.

It was bigger than Jennifer B. I don't know.

It was like a Fires Reform concert where our wave was there.

Yeah.

That's how I felt.

That's fire.

We

had everybody there.

Everybody

was there.

See how everybody was together.

Everybody was talking to each other from rappers to Kati creators and everything.

That's why I feel like my opinion, if we just all come together, we're going to be strong.

It's phenomenal.

The team gonna be, man, it's gonna be a strong team, boy.

I swear.

I feel like your generation is doing a great job, though.

Yeah.

I really do.

Like, we've had collaboration back in the day, but it's different now.

The way you're all rocking and rolling, you're all able to get to it, it's completely different.

Completely different.

Got everybody coming to the window.

Thanks, Big Frank.

Look how he turned up.

Before we go, Frank, what's some advice you have for the youth?

Or just anybody?

Something you've been wanting to tell them from the...

Man, listen to y'all damn parents, man.

They all start off at home, like, do right.

You know what I'm saying?

Do right by your parents, do right by God, you know what I'm saying?

Pray, like, you know what I'm saying?

Just do right, man, because I swear, boy, like, that table could turn so fast on you, man, you gonna regret it.

Just do right, y'all.
