Frenchie (Brick Squad Monopoly)

We’ve had the absolute please of speaking with Frenchie from Brick Squad Monopoly (BSM), which is also associated with hip hop artist Waka Flocka.

Frenchie is in a genre that’s considered hip hop and gangsta rap. He’s passion from music extends throughout his entire family he said, “ My whole family is involved with music from my Aunt Debra being Gucci mane and Waka Flocka’s manager to my uncle DJ Hurricane who was the Beastie Boys DJ.”

When I asked him what moment in his life did he decide that he wanting to start rapping he told use the moment he realized he wanted to rap he was watching a Kriss Kross music video. I guess they made him JUMP, JUMP.

Frenchie got his name from his father who was a big street legend in the early 90’s on the streets of Queens, NY. Frenchie has gone above and beyond making his parents proud that for sure!

I asked him if he mostly writes his music or if it comes naturally and he can just go in the both and record he said, “Both it all depends on how I’m feeling in that moment or during the day.”

It may come as a surprise, but Frenchie doesn’t just listen to hip hop music. He listens to everything! In fact one of his favorite groups is One Republic, which, is a rock band that was formed in 2002 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. If would be awesome if we had another Hip hop and rock collaboration, but then again that’s just a thought!

When not working on music you can find Frenchie playing basketball, trash talking the boys while playing PS3 and hanging out with his kids. When he’s having an off day you can find him listening to his own track entitled ‘Doubt Me’  and he was last caught listening to Trick Daddy ‘Thug Holiday”.

I asked him to describe his perfect performance he said, “One where I take my shirt off, pour water on my dreads while shaking it and got the whole crowd going crazy as if we’re in a mosh pit. 

I wanted to know his most EMBARASSING thing that’s happened to him. He likes to jump around like a mosh pit so I knew there had to be something he told us, “ One day I was performing and my shorts fell down. I don’t know how it happened, but it did.  I was like oh sh*t but then I said fu*k it and left it off and just kept performing like nothing happened and everyone in the crowd ended up thinking I did it on purpose.”

He’s currently working on Concrete Jungle 2 and he wants fans know that, “ I want the fans to know that Yeah do can do you. Make music which makes you happy and makes you feel good about yourself or the situation.”  All of Frenchie’s projects have come at difference phases in his life and I believe that through each phase he can only get better.  “Shout out to my family, friends and most importantly my fans.”
