Comethazine

Frank Jahmier Childress (born July 6, 1998), known professionally as Frank Kole and formerly as Comethazine, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and musician. He is best known for his platinum-selling single "Walk", which peaked at number 20 on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart and "Bands". Both songs were included on his debut mixtape, Bawskee. In 2019, he was an XXL Freshman and performed his cypher alongside rappers Roddy Ricch and Tierra Whack. His latest mixtape, Bawskee 5, was released in November 2022.

Career Childress began posting his music on audio distribution platform SoundCloud and video distribution platform Spotify as a teenager, allowing him to quit his job as a mechanic to focus on music full-time.

In early 2018, a feature on SoundCloud that allows their original sound file to be switched was abused for an unofficial upload of rapper YBN Nahmir's song "Bounce Out with That", that was replaced with his song "Bands", causing it to acquire the chart data of "Bounce Out with That". It is unclear who perpetrated this, though the account associated with the switch has since been removed. This incident helped increase the popularity of "Bands", which later appeared on his debut mixtape Bawskee. Another song on the mixtape, "Walk", became a viral hit and propelled Childress to further recognition. In 2019, he was selected to be a part of the 2019 XXL Freshmen Class. Comethazine announced the creation of his own record label, Hench Mafia Records, in June 2019.

On March 27, 2020, Childress's debut studio album as Comethazine, Pandemic, was released. His next project, Bawskee 4 followed on October 23, 2020, preceded by the music videos for "We Gone Win", "Air Max", and "Derek Jeter".

On November 17, 2022, Bawskee 5 was released. Childress previewed the tracklist in a tweet posted the day prior.

Musical style and influences Comethazine's music has been compared as a mixture of Playboi Carti, Smokepurpp and Tay-K, and has been referred to as anti-melody, a derivative form of trap that uses the bass as a source of melody instead of traditional instrumentation. He has cited rappers such as Big Mike, Pimp C, Chingy, Jadakiss, Special Ed, Chief Keef, Playboi Carti, Eminem, Waka Flocka Flame, 50 Cent, and Jim Jones as musical influences.
