♫♪  Franc Bacon - Wet (Mixtape)

Artwork by Mr Two Three (NYC)

Finding an original rapper like Kool Keith in the modern music would is impossible. Undoubtedly, you’ve MC’s vying for their own lime-light, a place to harness completely on their own, like their predecessors. Then you find that everyone is doing that same thing on social media. So you turn to the idea that copying is beyond the art of becoming original, yet what typically becomes of that is stale repeatable points and critique on similarities/impressions. With Franc Bacon, this is not the case, and Wet (Mixtape) is the perfect example.

There’s a lot of comparative influence in Wet (art by Mr. Two Three), but it’s all over, which makes it hard to pin down Franc Bacon’s specific role model. As well, he isn’t exactly original, but withholds a unique voice through how quickly he traverses heartfelt, humorous, alpha, and metaphorical tracks and beats. Franc Bacon manages to train his body with the music and adapt to the preciseness of breath and flow opposed to how HE represents HIM. Like how “You do you” is turning the modern world into a bunch of turn sniffing aficionados, Franc Bacon passes on self-stench, and relies on where the music takes listeners, opposed to him taking you directly there.

Franc Bacon suggests you should probably get Wet, and not just on a Thursday, but until your soaked:
