Remain yourself, never sacrifice your morals but our hustle and our work the competition at all times.”
What is inspiring you right now consistently to work on your endeavors?
What is inspiring me is just working to innovate and cultivate a new sound and culture in Hip Hop. Really working to prove the core foundation and primary principles of the music I love is still alive breathing and thriving to this day.
Who were the most influential people in your life?
My oldest brother Phillip was the first person I ever heard rap. My older brother Phelan was my very first feature when I actually started recording. My mom and pops without them I would’ve never known I could have dreams and accomplish them. My team Jaleel, Rashod, Jude, Tommy, Joie and Alicia they don’t have to work with me or believe in me they choose to and that’s why I appreciate and love them. Also have to thank my big homies Marcus, OJ and Myke and the rest of the Sigma Zeta Chapter of The Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Incorporated.
Frank Vibes ends the interview with a piece of advice that others can take back from the work he is doing. He knows his struggles have pushed him to be the person he is. “I refused to give up, that’s it. That’s all no matter how touch or how hard it got I wouldn’t give up. Only person that can save you is you so trust God, trust yourself and be your own hero. Always be yourself and allow your imagination and true intentions to speak for you. Let what you create speak volumes to where you don’t have to say anything the art does for you.” Frank Vibes remains focused on his goals and has quality work every time he creates. An artist worth looking at. From the moves being made in the city, he aims high, and is constantly inspiring others throughout his journey.
