Franchise The Rapper was born in Queens, New York, lived in Gilbertsville, PA through his youth, and has spent the remainder of his time primarily in Orlando, FL. Franchise's music was influenced by some of the '90s and '00s most lyrically adept emcees. His music centers around self-belief and chasing your dreams. His unflinching confidence, effortless charisma, intricate cadences and genuine respect for the artistry and culture of his genre, have made him a fan favorite in Orlando's hip-hop circuit. In his first year performing, he was crowned Best Male Performer at the Fusion Showcase Awards 2019, besting over 300 competitors. With his consistent work ethic, and the support of his city, Franchise is showing major potential to be the next star out of Orlando.
