Frank Lee White - My Life
Artist: Frank Lee White
Producer: Don Cannon
Album: Gangsta Grillz Presents: Hard White [Hosted by DJ Drama]
Label: Hustla Incorporated
Booth newcomer Frank Lee White would be the first to admit that he’s, well, a little bit troubled – in the course of mixtape cut My Life, he reveals that he’s got a drinking problem, he’s fathered children with two different women, and he’s got quite a bit of emotional baggage due to a less-than ideal childhood. The ATL emcee is a mess and he knows it, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to change; on the hook, he sings, “I’ma do what I wanna/ Even if it means I’m a goner.” While White’s unrelentingly depressing self portrait isn’t accompanied by the kind of dark humor that made self-deprecation work so well for Eminem, it’s hard to take him completely seriously when he’s rapping over what sounds like a downbeat version of the theme from The Price Is Right (not that Don Cannon‘s beat is bad at all, just odd in this context). Regardless, this is definitely a catchy record, and should stir up some anticipation for the release of his DJ Drama-hosted Gangsta Grillz Presents: Hard White mixtape.

The production wasn't bad at all. This joint was pretty decent. It was sincere and avoided ignorant ciliches. I'm going to look for more from him. Good debut to my ears.

I was feelin the production as soon as it started, although it does sound like a beat for an uplifting song rather than a depressing one. I liked his flow, and he let it all out on this one. His wordplay/ lyrics were pretty cool, especially in the third verse. The hook actually worked for me on this one... in rotation

Today was the first day I ever came into contact with the music of Mr. Frank Lee White. I am not feeling the stage name - c'mon fam - but the story and mood of the record are hard hitting. I love emcees who ACTUALLY HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY and that is the case with White.
I look forward to more of his mixtape tracks... nice job on the beat Cannon. |

wonder what happened to Frank after that Warren G-Mike Jones joint. Track is solid and he comes off good once again.
