On September 12th Franz Diego of Illuminous 3 will be celebrating the release of his debut self-titled album entitled "Franz Diego" at the Uptown Bar. This will be Franz's third release this year following the release of his EP in January and his mixtape in May which can both be downloaded for free at http://www.franzdiego.com. Franz Diego has been a well known fixture in Twin Cities hip hop for the past 5 years, performing and releasing projects with his group Illuminous 3, Co-organizing the Twin Cities Celebration of Hip Hop, Hosting Radio K's hip hop programming on "The Beat Box" and co-creating and hosting the local podcast Listen To MPLS.
The production on this album presents a very diverse and strong taste of what producers in the Twin Cities have to offer with all the mixing and recording done by Medium Zach of Big Quarters and beats from Benzilla, Brandon Allday, PC, Eyecue, Noam The Drummer, Fire Like Water and even a track by DJ King Otto. The reception of Franz as a solo artist has gone over very well with much praise through blogosphere and local DJ's.
