Interview With Hip Hop Artist Frost G
Hi Frost G! How are you?
I’m doing good.
Tell us about your background getting to where you are today.
A Military brat born in Syracuse, NY & raised in Killeen, TX. I grew up loving hip-hop at an early age. Being born listening to NY hip-hop juggernauts like Nas, Ma$e, BIG, DMX, Lox, Talib Kweli, and Dipset, to name a few. To being raised on TX hip-hop juggernauts like DJ Screw, Lil Flip, chamillion, Lil Keke, Paul Wall, Slim Thug, Z-Ro, and Trae Tha Truth to name a few. It became an inspiration for me to be able to have people relate to my testimonies & help people get over whatever situation they going through. Love became a passion & I just kept chasing & investing in myself till I made something off the talent God gave me.
