The cousin of
Waka Flocka Flame, rapper
Frenchie represents Queens, New York, but his music is heavily influenced by the Southern punch of groups like
Three 6 Mafia. He got his start rapping in
Gucci Mane's posse and releasing a series of underground mixtapes including the Trap-A-Holics-hosted Chicken Room (2009) and the
DJ Scream release Yellow Brick Road (2010). His break came in 2013 when he signed to
Gucci Mane's label Brick Squad and released the mixtape Long Overdue. ~ David Jeffries
