As a member of Baltimore
group Black$taff24/7, Raw Skinny has been a part of several group
projects. The collective began releasing mixtapes of their own with
various recordings from local Baltimore and out of town artist called
RawAudio. They have released seven installments to the series and plan
to drop another on in the summer of 2013. By branding themselves as a
brash lyrical group of rebels they were able to obtain their own
Internet Radio show on Baltimore station HARDBODYRADIO. $taff Sundays
aired consecutively for 25 weeks in 2012-2013 and generated thousands of
listeners on blogtalk radio. The group plans to release their new
project C.H.O.P. in the summer of 2013.
Bio:
Raw Skinny aka Frankie Grimes is a multitalented
musician from the City of Baltimore, Maryland. His Career as an artist
started with his 2010 mixtape Boiler Room. By using various samples from
the movie Boiler Room and blending his recordings he was able to create
a cinematic feel. Later that year he was a featured artist on the
compilation mixtape We Own the Night from Baltimore rap collective
Black$taff24/7. Although he was not featured on a majority of the
mixtape he was able to solidify his position as a core member of the
group. 2011 brought the release of his second project, the critically
acclaimed Dirty Sock Money. The mixtape was highly praised throughout
the Baltimore rap community and garnered thousands of views on the
popular mixtape hosting site datpiff.com.
Dirty Sock Money was the subject of many reviews and postings through
the summer of 2011. In June of the following year Raw Skinny released
Black$taff24/7 Presents…The Blackey Bulger Tape hosted by DJ Black
Wizard for hot16radio. Again this project would be able to generate
thousands of views on mixtape site datpiff.com
as well as his SoundCloud page. For this project he would return to the
formula of blending movie samples with his own recordings.
Black$taff24/7 group member Country Haze is featured on a majority of
the project and both artists complement each other very well over the
unique production selections. On April 20th 2013 Raw Skinny released his
newest project The V.R.G Collection Vol.1: WAKEDAFUCUP to rave reviews.
Raw skinny is a rare and unique artist that needs the opportunity
to share his views to the world. From recording to producing,
preforming, hosting, promoting, marketing, graphic design, and
engineering he has a wealth of talent to spread through the mainstream.
