Text EntriesKid Frost (Arturo Molina Jr., b. 1964) is a rapper, songwriter and record producer from Los Angeles, California. Kid Frost is known as the Godfather of Chicano Rap and a west coast Hip-Hop pioneer. He pioneered a sub-genre of Rap and became a trendsetter by introducing Spanglish rhymes over beats with samples of oldies and Chicano cruising classics. His music propelled Chicano culture around the world. His music career started in the early 1980s and his Rap name, Kid Frost, is a tribute to the rapper Ice-T, who he often battled at Hip-Hop functions in the Los Angeles area.
