The Chase

It's winter 2002 and Freck was on his daily routine: hit the corner with four and half ounces of coke in his pocket, wait for his associates, collect money then pass off the "work". But on this particular day something was different, wrong even. Freck's associates were over ten minutes late. Since there's a first time for everything a super confident Freck shrugged off the tardiness and passed time by talking to the neighborhood females, and collecting their phone numbers. After jotting down a couple of digits Freck looked up and saw cop cars, detectives, and vans all advancing in his direction. "I tossed the coke and ran". There were better days...

The Beginning

This story begins at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia where 2 proud parents gave birth to a freckle faced, fair skinned, straight haired baby boy named Jeffrey Whitters sometime in the 80's. At 3 years old Freck moved to his grandmother's home on Haverford Avenue in West Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Soon after the young couple moved around the corner with Freck and his older sister to a 2 bedroom apartment. Seven years later the happy family moved to their first home. An ambitious Freck needed more. More space, more freedom, more than a weekly allowance so he made the streets his home from then on in.

The Rebirth

From the age of 18 to 22, Freck was arrested 19 times. Freck's last arrest (19 months) which was his longest stint in prison would prove life altering. While incarcerated a female who sought to cheer Freck up mailed him issue after of issue of a magazine she knew Freck would fancy. Obviously any man locked in the bing would normally receive Playboy, Hustler, or Black Tail but not Freck. Aware of his impeccable taste she sent him a luxury magazine for millionaire's Freck often read named The Robb Report. A mesmerized Freck studied each and every page. The magazine became Freck's new inspiration. Freck adopted a new moniker: Freck The Billionaire.

The Wonder Years

Freck attended Martha Washington public school from kindergarten to 8th grade. Went to Overbrook High School where he eventually graduated from. Had his first legal job when he was a mere 13. While everyone was playing video games and riding their BMX bikes Freck was coming to shocking revelation. "I busted my ass all week at the daycare for a bullshit $150... I can't even buy kicks with that type of bread...". Unlike his young counterparts Freck The Entrepreneur didn't go to the local Toys R Us with his pay, he went to the local drug dealer and copped an 8 ball (3.5 grams) of crack cocaine. Freck bagged it up and it was the easiest money one could ever make especially when you know everyone in the whole neighborhood and everyone knew you; every store owner and salesperson, every bus driver, every dealer (big or small), every thug, coward, and most importantly every junkie. It's hard to forget a young and reckless freckle face youngin', that's running around the streets of Philadelphia, slinging a potent product like Crack Cocaine. Before you knew it Freck was the flashiest kid in Overbrook High School toting a fist full of dollars.

The Release

Finally two weeks after serving his sentence in CFCF Freck's cell mate had a male R&B artist he was bringing to shop to Track Masters. Freck just went along for the ride to New York City. As they listened to the demo they got to a song that featured a rapper. Tone from Track Masters was like "niggas coming up from Philly, they hot". So Freck's friend said "my man right here, he crazy". Tone looked at Freck and said "you hot?" and Freck said "nigga, is your beats hot?" After Freck rapped it was history; Jermaine Dupri, LA Reid, Arista Records, record deal, $100,000 advance.

The Reality Check

Everything thing was lovely; a feature on Tamia's album. Everything was going smooth; recording with the likes of Foxy Brown and Omarion. Cruising at 100 miles per hour in that new Bentley GT, until BOOM! The Titanic hit the iceberg. Arista record label behemoth L.A. Reid was fired after what seemed to be an amazing year of success after success. Freck survived the wreck but it was like going through rehab. The young star was still recording, still doing his thing, but things were coming to a grinding halt. Freck began writing for Young Rich Hilfiger, son of Tommy Hilfiger who was recording out of Siz Studioz. It was here that Freck met JiCE of Sizzle Records. There's gotta be a future....

The Here And Now

Now that the Trackmaster deal was mutually dissolved, Freck was faced with a huge decision. It was here at the crossroads, that young JiCE approached Freck with the idea of building the project and street buzz before approaching opportunities that await newly released "free agents" in the off season. Freck chose to ink with the fledgling Sizzle Records and the rest is the future. It was this idea of "build it and they will come" that paved the way to this collection of future mixtape masterpieces and album classics. With the Billionaire mentality, full of confidence, wit, and conviction, Freck skillfully bridges the gap between "the block and the yacht". Songs like the Baby Boy produced "Cook It" paint vivid pictures of Philadelphia's inner city landscape and graphically shows you what can happen to ambitious youth without a creative outlet available. Then you have the clever yet playful Just Blaze produced "Break You Off" featuring Fabolous, which shows you a brighter side of life. Here Freck describes a night of fun in the club, and the cat and mouse pursuit of flirtatious females playing hard to get. Now that Freck Billionaire's street opus "A Fistful Of Dollars" narrated by mixtape king DJ Clue is flooding the streets of his home state of Pennsylvania and abroad, the lead single and video for "Cook It" is blazing radio and TV, it's only a matter time before the majors come calling. Finally you can forget the beefs, the dramas, and the artist's who get situations because of their super human stories, but have no music. There is an artist's artist, a fan favorite whose music speaks for itself and his name is Freck The Billionaire.
