the start of nothing.

This website began following a series of Frank Ocean preservation projects across various blogs. After porting over what existed there, the project has expanded into something far greater. The mission of this blog is the documentation and archival of Frank Ocean-related materials. This includes complete lists of performances, songs, videos, and a news archive dating back to 2009.

While Frank may believe in the immortality of ideas beyond the life of hard drives, we strive to preserve those digital fragments to inspire later generations.

In active development is a mixtape of Frank Ocean rarities as well as a contributor blog dedicated to long-form opinion and analysis pieces.

This is a fan-driven website that has no affiliation with Frank Ocean or his label. If you would like to reach out with tips or writing pitches, feel free to do so here.
