What is behind the name Fresco?
Fresco means Fresh in Italian, I'm fresh and Italian so I thought it fit. I actually got the name from DaVinci's art style awhile back.
When did you start to create music?
I used to dabble and write verses, but I didn't take music seriously until this past march when I began working with Soleternity. He's been a huge inspiration and it's been a pleasure to work with such a seasoned vet.
How did your involvement with Battle Rap come about?
Well I won every freestyle tournament there is to win in Chicago / Milwaukee Grillz N Skillz, Scribble Jam Prelims, Mic Club Tournament, Rhyme Spitters etc. I went undefeated until I finally took my first loss at scribble jam but that's when I was asked to be part of a league called Grindtime. From there I went on to travel to Canada, Australia and England to dominate battles.
Are you working on any new projects (albums, mixtapes) or collabs?
I have a new project called MMXVII (2017) dropping with Soleternity before the end of the year and it is pretty much the tightest project you'll hear. We hit a lot of different styles and it's some unheard of shit.
Is there anything you want your fans to know about you?
I want everyone to know that despite my battle rap persona, I'm actually a really nice person and I LOVE TO PLAY VIDEOGAMES! League of Legends, Counter-Strike and Quake just to name a few favorites. I was even sponsored back in the day and won a bit of money playing.

Be sure to watch out for Fresco's upcoming project titled "MMXVII (2017)".
