Frank Follows "Racist (My Dick Ain't)" Video With HBK Gang Collaboration
The Song:
Early this month, akaFRANK, the Full Pull Ent. rapper and HBK Gang affiliate, released the video for what's fast becoming his breakout single, "Racist (My Dick Ain't)." Not only has the song been picking up steam (and radio play) in the Bay Area, but the track also continues to earn Frank international acclaim, highlighted by a recent London, UK, performance, at one of the city's most popular parties, Player's Ball.
Now, as he continues to prepare for the early 2013 release of his upcoming mixtape, The Boycott, akaFRANK is releasing the tape's second official single, "Awesome Jawsome." The song, premiered today by The Fader, features fellow HBK Gang affiliates Iamsu!, Jay Ant, and P-Lo, and the track picks up, raunchily, where "Racist" left off, an ode to the women out there who, as FRANK jokingly says, "Have a 'good head on their shoulders.'" FRANK takes the second half of the first verse, following behind P-Lo, and really, his opening bars say it all: "Is you gon' suck it or not, 'cause we smoking on killa," raps FRANK. "Take this banana, go gorillas."
Like most HBK Gang collaborations, "Awesome Jawsome" came together effortlessly, the four guys hanging out at the studio together, kicking back, and that comes across in the ease of the order that each rapper appears on the song – P-Lo opens the first verse, akaFRANK closes it; Iamsu! opens the second verse, while Jay Ant closes out the song. "Iamsu! produced the track in like 15 minutes, if that," recalls FRANK. "I've been working with these guys since high school, and they're some of the most talented people I know. Making hits with them is easy."
