Frank Ski is known for his impressive music catalogue in Hip-Hop, Rap, Gospel, and Baltimore club-music, which has greatly influenced some of Hip-Hop's most memorable singles. One of his popular songs was recently sampled in the No.1 Billboard Hot 100 single "WAP" by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, as well as the 2018 hit "In This House" by Lil Wayne and Gucci Mane. Ski is one of several prominent signings out of Sony/ATV's new Atlanta office, reflecting its ongoing commitment to the city's thriving music community.
