Details:
Fortuna, California. A land named by turn of the century lumbermen for its prosperity and proximity to the Pacific Ocean, Redwood valleys and running rivers. Similarly, its lush appeal, different in some ways, local-son and battle-primed emcee, Franco, applies it's natural beauty to his art - rhymes. As a seasoned member of Humboldt County California's vibrant and various, if not precarious, music scene, Franco has made the rounds of local clubs, bars, and rap-ciphers, cutting his teeth in the small, but tightly knit, rural underground hip-hop community. A focalized point of inspirational for Franco's songbook nonetheless.

Franco's true impact has materialized itself in the form of a stand-out solo EP (Rollw/thePunches) and his featured role in Where You From. The latter a film by Sabrina Lee, documents Franco's drive to succeed at the notorious Scribble Jam emcee-battle, formally held annually in Cinncy. A powerful statement to his determination in the face of artistic adversity. It's sure to expose the world to his tenacity and pension for dominating the battle-stage.

It goes without saying, Franco's appearance in the battle-heavy documentary Fresh Coast Battles signifies his place within the ever competitive field of hip-hop. Having traveled extensively around the U.S. in search of battle trophies, Franco always ultimately returns to his born-place of Fortuna. Bringing his scope full-circle, his forthcoming solo album 'Roll with the Punches' stakes his claim to a still quite pristine region, a place he happily hangs his weathered battle gloves upon returning from the ring. On "Born With Da Gift" he states âI was in between work just burninâ some leaves/ When the smoke filled the air and it hurt me to breath/ Whatâs our purpose to be?/ I questioned my beliefs and I thought to myself we deserve to be free!" With 9 joints produced by NYC born / Bay Area honed beat-maker phillipdrummond, and guest verses from Lush One and Nocando, this is the new fresh coast. Bringing the vivaciousness of the city to the redwoods is the crux of Francoâs current concept. Inhale youâre about to go on a trip.
