916Frosty is one of the best up and coming rappers in Sacramento

916Frosty is a rap artist based in Rocklin.  Currently, he has 16 tracks on SoundCloud, and has plans to expand his viewers/plays. Overall, the style and sound of his music can be compared to well known hip-hop artists such as Nav and The Weeknd. Also, Frosty brings his own unique twist through his beats, melodies and lyrics, he keeps his hopes up high to gain more popularity.

Frosty brings a unique way of mixing styles and integrated classic songs into his beats and melodies. His songs always have a dramatic and explosive bassline, a clean drum beat and recognizable voice. His voice has a certain raspy quality, which is unique from other artists. His holiday song “A Very Frosty Christmas”; integrates melodies including “Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer” and “Frosty the Snowman” into this very modern pop/rap orchestration, creating a retro sound with a bass driven twist. I personally think his music stands out from rappers and has a powerful impact on the listener. The music blends very well with his voice and he has an ability to bring emotion into his music, which is a truly beautiful thing.

Other songs such as “False Alarm” bring influence from childhood cartoons like Dragon Ball Z, using jangly guitar riffs and unique melodies, and bringing a more electronic sound to these tracks. He brings a refreshing sound with his most popular songs “Enough” and “In my Heart”, using a strong bassline and hard hitting lyrics about relationships and teenage lifestyle. Lyrics such as “I was never good at s*** / Music was my call / I can’t trust these people / They just want to see me fall / I’m just tryna make it / With my back up against the wall” shows the struggles of being an artist but also shows his determination to be successful.  Also, top hip hop artists including XXX, and Quavo have listened to his music and enjoyed it, leading them to repost two of his tracks. With over two million plays on SoundCloud, 916Frosty is one of the fastest growing independent rappers in the Sacramento area.
