Another Day Another Dollar
If I don't make I feel stagnated. Not to say that I am only driven by monetary satisfaction but when the smoke clears judgement is always in the form of dollar signs. Yes on a personal level we have other ways of setting a value of persons, and ourselves. BUT what I speak of now is business. No room for personal in that. I have a goal, however scattered it may be right now, a goal it is. With each passing day, I learn; and as i learn, I seek more. Reach for the skies they say. I want the world!

CONTROVERSY SELLS
To those whom are tired of writing about gossip; to those who feel like there has got to be more than the muckraking that has become life, I say CONTROVERSY sells. Aside from naming the clear #winners as a result of, we can all be honest with ourselves the juice is in the details. Saving face with our craft is feasible but how efficient? Noting that the efficiency that I mention is synonomous with success, I feel obligated. How often do we whole heartedly concern ourselves with the stale? The simple? The sophisticated? NOT OFTEN
When we find ourselves able to, we seek substance- the news worthy. Where would we be without publicity? Is it not the dream of all man kind to be worth mentioning? Attention subconscious- come out of your hole, your dirty little secret is out. Guess we aren't as resevred as we thought we were.

Good Listener is a good learner
Ever feel like you learn more by listening than actually speaking? More times than I count that has happened to me. I find myself getting much needed insight through these one-sided conversations, be It good or bad, the result is enlightening and dare I say uplifting.

Meet Frito
FRITO grew up like the majority of his peers, in a single parent house hold with just his mother, a matriarch who worked mightily at trying to guide him through the jungle that was his home. Born and raised in the downtown section of Harlem, home to some of the most notorious street legends, hustlers and basketball players NYC has ever seen, it seemed as though 1 of those 3 options would be his only way out. Not gifted in basketball and not patient enough to rap, FRITO got caught up in the addiction of fast money and began selling drugs at a very young age. His youthful years were marred by continuous run ins with the law,
"The 1st time i got arrested i was so young i was more worried about my mother finding out than the consequences i would have to face"
-Frito
The years to come would unfortunately be more of the same. However negative it would seem, there is something to be said about the true ambition of a hustler, a true visionary; one who has the uncanny ability to turn a negative into a positive. That positivity would strike upon his being releasedfrom a 6 year prison sentence. FRITO decided It was time to utilize alternative means to living the same dream that he always desired- TO BE GREAT!
With the mundane aside, FRITO drew on his love and affinity for the HIP HOP culture. RAPPING became his #1 priority. Always known to be clever with words, humorous and have a unconditional love for music FRITO knew that this was what he was destined to do..
" I remember one of my homies tellin me fri u bullshittin u nice u and u can take us to the top"
-Frito
Presently working on his upcoming mixtape entitled 12 STEPS TO GREATNESS Frito brings originality and vivid images of the experiences he's seen and felt firsthand through clever lyrics. His penchant for imagery, and story telling ability can be seen witnessed on the projects 1st single CASANOVA...
"For me Casanova is a tale of growing up and trying to survive in Harlem, in a place known as NIGHTMARE ON 12th STREET"
-Frito
In a game where everyone is concerned about image and for lack of a better term, FOLLOWING, FRITO manages to stay true to himself and what he believes in." Focused and determined to win at all cost, FRITO is one artist to be aware of.
12 STEPS TO GREATNESS, EP coming soon!
