Who is Bobby Franchise

Interviewee: Bobby Franchise

Who is Bobby Franchise is the question we are going to answer today. He is a humble but also serious guy, from the rap game in Halifax Canada. He has conviction in his voice and has no reason to be fake or act like he is someone else. Bobby’s Bio has been put into great detail on his Internet networking accounts (you can read it on his Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/envyfranchise) for many reasons but the main thing is: to be open with the people interacts with. His life growing up was difficult, facing tragedy after tragedy its no wonder his music seems effortless and his drive endless. He is sure that if he keeps at his writing and performance that he will indeed make it to the TV screen and make millions. He respects people who respect him and plans on bringing them with him or returning favors when he can, reppin’ his record label “CA” to the fullest with the soon to be released mixtape, he is sure to leverage himself. HOOKEDUPB and Bobby Franchise had a conversation over the phone to bring you answers to the question: “Who is Bobby Franchise”:

Out of all your talents what one do you think is your strongest?

I would say my writing abilities- I mastered my craft! I worked on it- I make sure everything is on point and sounds good.

Skosha Shane Sidney is your producer does he make the beats from scratch or does he use instrumentals?

Ya, he is my friend; he definitely makes them from scratch- they come right from his head! Skosha and Dirty B make my beats those are the guy’s I’m taking with me to the end. If you don’t know Skosha’s beats than you will soon! He produced a previous mixtape called: “Heavy Hitters Vol. #1”, … he is also producing the "Who is Bobby Franchise" mixtape which is gonna be CRAZY….but for the new album that I’ll be working on, I’m going to shop around for beats. I get a lot of my attention in Hip Hop from the singles I put out, the other mixtape (“Heavy Hitters Vol. #1”) didn’t get pushed that hard.

You are working on a mixtape called: “Who is Bobby Franchise” can you elaborate on that?

Straight up, I came up in group home, my mom gave me up when I was 10.. I was in permanent care for 9 years…my father was killed when I was 17, he was beatin to death by two guys then they tied him to a shopping cart and the cops found him in a lake , Who is Bobby Franchise is an album based on my life …I’m that dude that had no luck really, and I’m not asking people to feel sorry for me, I’m proud of who I am now. Everything that has happened made me stronger!

Other than working on your mixtape what have you been doing to progress from the bottom up?

Oh man I use Facebook to the fullest I could win a Facebook award on there for networking…I know people from all over the world on there! THANK YOU FACEBOOK for real man! Also practicing- I just keep at it. I never let anyone put me down, jealous ones will try and put you down, I see it everyday!

I know some people say that other people’s life stories are unbelievable, which is something you have probably heard before; why did you make yours so explicit on your artist bio?

Well, because I want to be open with people. I just want people to know I’m real, that my story is as real as it gets. I’m tired of playing games with people! I don’t go overboard like I don’t mention names of course.

I am working on a movie it’s a Trilogy, its three movies (coming out later in life). I know Ellen Page she is world famous, she got a role in X-Men3, and also played the main role in JUNO. I plan on meeting up with her, and giving her the script for the movie that will be titled: “Based on a True Story”- everyone will want to see it just for the title!

How long have you had a good following in Halifax for?

In Halifax when I was about 13-14 years old I was a poster boy for a skateboard shop; I was a model for them for years! I was just a kid nobody really respected me. But I get stopped on the street now, like I was at the Drake concert and people came up to me like: "are you Bobby Franchise”, and that’s cool.

What is the music scene like in Halifax Nova Scotia?

Man, it’s every man for himself! Huh, I don’t like these rappers I hang out with real people, that do real things like work est…all the people are stuck-up, and all these people have never left Halifax before so when you don’t leave you don’t know what there is out there. I don’t want to come off as a hater; Halifax has a good scene there’s lots of talent, but if everyone worked together it would be a lot easier!

Why did you choose to tattoo your face with the maple leaf?

Because, I rep Canada to the fullest! I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else for lots of reasons- like health care. It’s a great country to live in and I hope you agree too. Also I want to be remembered … I feel I am unique … and that’s what will take me places ..

I seen pictures of your new tattoo; how many do you have now?

I just got a new sleeve…I have about 14- 15. The new sleeve is like the Louis Vuitton print but the LV is replaced with: CA- record label, my record label. It’s (record label) on the come up and it’s going to make me a million dollars, I’m going to take it as far as I can- I’m going to rep it to the fullest.
