Here is a classic battle that took place on MTV in which finalists Reign Man battled Lockmith of The Frontline from Richmond, California Bay Area. The video used to be on Youtube a while back but deleted due to copyright issues but the battle has been recently added on Youtube again. For those of you who never got a chance to see it, here is your chance.
Remember that Locksmith will be releasing his new upcoming album called “Frank The Rabbit” and he is working with Producer E-A-Ski, Frontline group partner Left, & other artists. Locksmith has 3 hit singles: “I.M.G.M.I.”, “Toss Up”, & “The Rapudic” all produced by Mr. Ski. He is also going to continue battling in Grind Time to obtain more promotion through “Promo Battles” so keep up to date with the production of “Frank The Rabbit” and look out for more battles up to come. (Battle Of The Bay 5 Coming Soon).

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.
