It’s clear why Riky Rick co-signed Frank Casino—this is a generational talent, and his skills come naturally. After taking time away from the game, Frank is back with a 10-track project (in true Illmatic style), showing his day-one fans that he still has what it takes to command the rap scene.

 

Frank Casino’s highly anticipated By Design is a well-crafted project that features some of the industry’s finest, including PH Raw X and Thando Zitha on “Long Life.” The standout track “Pretty MF” includes a stellar feature from 25K Don Kilo, while “Fast Life” sees 30 Turo and Ney delivering a smooth collaboration. One of the most unexpected but powerful collaborations is on “Rich Is G Pt2,” where Stogie T and Cassper Nyovest team up, reminding us of the abundance of talent in South Africa.

 

Despite the star-studded features, Frank shines the brightest on his solo tracks. Songs like “Another Weekend,” my personal favorite, channel a vibe reminiscent of Drake’s Fancy—smooth, catchy, and filled with swagger. Tracks like “Palm Tree/You” and “Extra Special/City” showcase Frank’s ability to draw inspiration from love, painting vivid pictures with his words. You can feel the introspective energy as he delves into different emotions and experiences.

 

“Rich Is G Pt2” featuring Stogie T and Cassper Nyovest stands as a powerful reminder of the strength of South African hip-hop. Wrapping things up, “Bosses” closes the project with audio from two legendary figures, Jay-Z and Tupac, grounding the project in timeless wisdom.  Oh snap, the intro to By Design features renowned comedian Loyiso Gola, delivering a powerful narration that sets the tone for the masterpiece. With his signature style, Gola explores the concept of “design,” adding depth and introspective layers to Frank Casino’s vision

This project is perfect for the weekend—something to indulge in from start to finish. Frank Casino’s return proves that taking time off can result in something well-rounded and intentional. Check the link below and let us know what you think of By Design!
