Daily Inspiration: Meet Frank Lucra

Today we’d like to introduce you to Frank Lucra.

Hi Frank, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
since before i could read or write i was artistically inclined spending a lot of time at my grandmothers house she would have me painting and just encouraging expression to the fullest, she was a painter herself and had such cool taste and so did the rest of my family they all did something artistic whether it was music, painting or cooking so ive just always been naturally creative, i loved music as a kid i still remember the first album i ever like listened to on my own, it was britney spears baby one more time, i always remember my step dad listening to like linkin park and dmx and 50 cent and my mom always had on snoop and tupac or erykah badu. but it wasn’t until i found lil wayne that i fell in love with hip hop music, i had posters of wayne i remember and i think i wrote to him in prison once haha. i remember playing call of duty and just jamming and at the time FaZe clan was popular and so watching their videos introduced me to other artist like Logic and Kid Cudi. my step dad was in the army so i moved around texas a bit and it wasnt until after my dad moved on base right before highschool started that i met friends on the bus through common music interest, i showed them Pro Era and they showed me Kendrick Lamar. Shortly after that i started freestyling with them after getting off the bus, or rather they would encourage me to, over time i fell in love with it and eventually started learning how to make beats and record my own songs and post on soundcloud. it didnt take long after for my music taste to start expanding and my ear to start developing, every song for a long time was me trying and learning something new and refining my craft. now after so much time i feel so confident in my ability to craft and the community of likeminded people around me. it took a lot of sleepless nights, alot of cursing myself put until i got the right take, blood sweat tears and all. suffering losses. but i wouldnt have it any other way

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
i mean really early on in life i struggled with my mom having cancer, watching her beat it just to watch my grandma my bestfriend also go through the same thing and not make it, i think about her to this day still. and man its been a long road, ive been through alot with people who come and learned what they could and turned around and acted as if they never knew me, a lot of fake people.
i lost some friends who i cherish and love cause they were so unapologetically themselves and so unique and just pure souls man.
i think you know i struggle with giving myself time to grieve losses like that, especially when my grandfather passed back in 2023, having to attend his funeral on my birthday. financial hardships always i mean who doesnt struggle with the bills especially as an artist. it hasnt been a smooth road at all but i probably wouldnt change anything about it if i could

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
most people know me for talking my shit on beats, really well. i think what sets me a part is the fact im a southern white rapper that doesnt say the n word and has a good ear and pen. i always say im a soufside stepper with a nas flow. word to ye!

What are your plans for the future?
i have a lot in store for 2026 and i think i just need to focus on staying consistent with promoting myself and shooting content! i have an album thats more of a passionate project that i have been sitting on but along with that a bunch of new material and music from me and Growchild. under the name Gloom Brothers
