The Plug (0:21).
The Interview (1:31).
Within about 10 seconds of hearing Fly Anakin for the first time, I knew this guy was born to rap. Immediately, his raspy voice caught my attention, sounding like he had a built-in plug-in in his vocal chords… making his dazzling bars sound so special.
In this episode, Richmond-born Frank, otherwise known as rapper-producer Fly Anakin joins the show. We discuss how he found his voice, established his vision for the almighty Mutant Academy, his recent achievements in FlySiifu’s and Frank, and the impressive world-building that went into creating his cheeky and romantic new album, Skinemaxxx.
The strain of hip-hop Frank likes to create, and making “mindless music” (1:39).
How Frank developed his voice - RMPP patron q from nogod (8:27).
The Richmond, Virgina music scene and its influence on Frank’s musical tastes (12:51).
The moment Frank realized music could be a real career path (15:54).
The vision that Mutant Academy was founded on (18:27).
FlySiifu’s and the creative chemistry with Pink Siifu (23:57).
The importance of Frank, and overcoming insecurity (28:35).
Why Foisey is the jelly to Frank’s peanut butter (34:35).
The thinking behind separating the release of Side A and B of Skinemaxxx (38:34)
The concept and sound of Skinemaxxx (40:45).
The artistic growth Frank experienced creating Skinemaxxx (46:36).
Upcoming work and shows from Fly Anakin, and Mutant Academy (51:05).
