It's been a while since I've posted any new content. As you probably can see there has been a revamp in the site, the Young has been dropped and the logo has changed. All in the name of growth. Below you will find 2 live recordings from my most recent gigs at Atlantis The Lost Bar. Please press play and enjoy.
Sometimes in life things never seem to go the right way. It is dependent on the character of a man on how these times are handled. Well ladies and gentlemen the man known as Frankie Vado is a man of great character and passion. He's put his life into his music and has finally released his debut album, with production by Phoe Notes he presents: Yesterday's Reject.
The difficulties of being objective towards the music of a great friend, means that I won't review the album. But I will vouch for the album and the great music that encompasses it. Click the link above to check it out on iTunes or check below for a preview.
It's been far too long but don't fret, I've made some updates to the site. Added a music section where I'll post my personal picks and from time to time stream albums or mixes of mine. I also plan on using the "For The People" section a lot more. Had great success with my niece's Kicks for Kids campaign, gonna try and spread that success and help where and when I can.
Also I will be expanding the shop soon. New T's and goodies! Oh the joy!
G Funk step to this I dare ya... 20 years ago this song came out, it instantly was a classic. The beat, the lyrics, the hook, Warren G & Nate Dogg had you feeling as if you were riding in that drop top Impala with them. You saw the gang of freaks you helped Warren from getting jumped. You put in, on the East Side Motel...Here's to a classic moment in Hip-Hop RIP Nate Dogg.
I remember I had the album on cassette tape, me and my brother would put it in our red boom box and jam to the album. When the tape popped I was devastated. Check out Regulate & some other tunes below of the classic variety.
It's not always easy for people to come see me spin, so I recorded part of my set and have posted it below for your listening pleasure.

More than the posthumous album title of one of the best to ever do this thing we call rap, this life we live called Hip-Hop. Lyrically he could rap circles around any of these young cats today. Kendrick's & Cole's included. He held his own with Biggie, Nas, Jay Z all of the titans of rap. His crew Terror Squad shined bright under his tutelage, Armageddon, Prospect, Remy Martin, Fat Joe, Cuban Link all spit some their illest rhymes had the best part of their careers under Pun. One of the best posse cuts of all time co-starred Pun, Nature, Nore, Cam'ron, Jadakiss, & Styles P. Where y'all think Khaled got it from, he was around these Terror Squad in the early days he saw how Pun made the crew tight. These days you don't see it much anymore, a charismatic rapper with a tight crew that could feature on a commercial track or give you hard hitting lyrics that the streets felt. Held his own but let his crew shine RIP Pun in an era where music was at it's best you shined, years later the people still can't deny your legacy.
