Two years ago, Frankie J was touring like crazy, promoting his first solo album in North America.

We are currently testing some new video technology. Please let us know what you think of the new format. Windows Media Player required.

At the time, he told andPOP that he didn?t care about making money or getting famous; he just wanted the chance to keep doing what he was doing.

Now, a five-minute drive away from the initial interview, Frankie J spoke with andPOP again, this time promoting his sophomore album, The One.

He had the same smile, the same down-to-earth attitude, and same commitment to his craft. There was one key difference though: a large FJ diamond necklace around his neck that one could not avoid staring at. He wasn?t showing off, nor was he trying to intimidate anyone. It was a sign of his hard work. He made it.

Watch the interview to see Frankie talk about his success, his new bling, his son, working with Baby Bash and Irv Gotti, his Spanish remake of More Than Words, and much more.
