About this user

For Al Nuke, born Curtis Franklin, life has always been full of excitement. Whether it was a tumultuous childhood, growing up on the streets of Detroit, or launching a successful rap & film career, Franklin's accomplishments have proven that tenacity and talent are the key ingredients to achieving your dreams.

Franklin began creating music at the early age of 13. After many years of developing and honing his skills, he decided it was time to put them on wax. In 1996, he released his debut album Lifestyle of the Rich & Infamous. His first single Out Da Door made an immediate impact selling over 10,500 records out the trunk of his car and over 8,500 sound scan sells throughout Metro Detroit.

The release of his second album Under Pressure featuring the single and undisputed street anthem My People garnered Franklin a Nomination for Best Artist of the Year by Pearl Music Awards Association. It also yielded two hits Ain't No Playa & Ball and earned him underground respectability thus sealing his reputation as a legitimate artist in the mid-west hip hop community.

Franklin's third album My World sold a respectable 5000 units and laid the groundwork for his fourth and most auspicious album to date Big Business. This amalgamation of gangster, dance and R& B provides something for everyone. Singles like Me n U & Ballin featuring Badd Azz and Yuckmouth, provide a vivid portrayal of gangster life for the hard-core audience, Party Non Stop and Nukie are both bouncy and upbeat for the krunk club crowd while Promises, featuring Keith Washington, reveals an even greater depth.

Not wanting to limit himself to music, Franklin searched for other outlets to challenge him creatively. He turned his attention to local television. There he hosted the long running cable show, Video Vibes and wrote and directed several commercials and comedy skits.

He also tried his hand at acting and was cast in several high profile independent films including MVP (2004 Sundance Official Selection) and Gangstresses Part II the follow-up to the acclaimed Gangstresses then came a role that he'd been searching for: an opportunity to co-direct and star in Street Life.

Street Life, a documentary about the reality of American ghettos, featured Missy Elliott, Method Man, Ludacris, and many others. The film was heralded as a "must see" by BET and was distributed by Xenon Pictures. The success of Street Life inspired Franklin to pen the screenplay for his next project.

In the winter of 2003 the multifaceted Franklin began writing the screenplay for 17000 Block. The script presents an original voice based on the rawness of his life experiences. It explores the gritty, ruthless underworld of Detroit and attempts to provide insight. A year later the film began production with Franklin credited as writer, director and actor.

The satisfaction of completing his first feature film has fueled Franklin's muse. In 2005, he formed All World Enterprises, an entertainment company dedicated to nurturing artists in various mediums. As CEO of AWE, Franklin has created for himself an outlet to express all facets of his artistic abilities.

For Curtis Franklin, life has come full circle. He has exhibited longevity in a volatile industry and continues to set his sights on higher goals.
