FreshCoast/Grind Time Presents: Frontline Interview

Locksmith is testing his mettle with a solo career. While putting the finishing touches on his debut LP “Frank the Rabbit”, Locksmith is releasing the single “Therapudic” which is already making its rounds on mixshows and getting regular spins on KMEL and Sacramento’s KBMB.

The Richmond-born emcee hasn’t lost his trademark raw lyricism, precise delivery, or stinging critiques of the status quo. Whether it be industry games or governmental corruption, Lock calls it how he sees it on the new track. With his lyrical prowess over super-producer E-A-Ski’s lean, menacing beats, Locksmith transcends all Hip-Hop boundaries.

From his studio in Oakland, Lock expresses his excitement about his solo release and claims that “Frank the Rabbit”, which features Royce the 5′9, Jake One, Left of the Frontline and E-A-Ski, might surprise heads.

“Sonically, it’s very different from what I’ve done in the past” Locksmith adds. “There’s lots of instrumentation, a little reminiscent of old school Hip-Hop.” As for the concept, it’s a wild ride into the darker, uncensored side of his brain, an idea he got from one of his favorite flicks, “Donnie Darko”.

“Frank the Rabbit” will hit stores this summer.
