WCS Exclusive: An Interview w/ “Hip Hop Homicides” Executive Producer P. Frank Williams

On Thursday, November 3, 2022, the show Hip-Hop Homicides premiered on WE TV. The show humanizes slain rappers and properly investigates the events surrounding their deaths to bring closure to their families, friends, and fans.

The show’s Executive Producer and Showrunner, Mr. P. Frank Williams, is an Oakland native. He was also the producer and co-host with civil rights attorney Ben Crump on the A&E investigative series, Who Killed Tupac? Previous credentials include, but aren’t limited to, the 2004 Olympics and BET’s award-winning American Gangster series. The man’s motto is, “Why [would you] shoot the breeze about it when you can be about it?”

And it is with that mantra and passion for his craft he has garnered an Emmy and won the NAACP Image Award 8X in his career thus far.

It is my honor to be joined here on West Coast Styles with Mr. P Frank Williams, and I want to thank Mr. Billy Johnson Jr. for making this interview possible.

I grew up in Michigan, and graduated from high school in 2005. I then attended Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee, where I majored in Music Business and received a Bachelor's of Business Administration Degree. During my time in school there, I began writing for Billboard magazine. And then, after contributing to a Nashville-based music site as a hip-hop correspondent, I was able to transition into a role as a features writer for AllHipHop.com. If Sidney Shaw from 'Brown Sugar' were to ask me, "When did you fall in love with hip-hop?", my answer would be Snoop Doggy Dogg and Coolio in the mid-90s. Therefore, I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to now be at West Coast Styles and be conducting interviews and creating think pieces about how the culture has affected people, politics, and society as a whole. Peace and blessings to all.
