Back when Ned Luke had Twitter he followed DJ Pooh, Young Maylay and this guy all in a row. The first two are understandable but who is this guy? Another thing is he seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth like Ned Luke as his last tweet was in July, he also does not mention GTA once despite following R* DJ Pooh and YM. Seems like someone has told him to lay low and be quiet for a while and I have a pretty good idea who that could be.
The only thing is he doesn't really look like Frank from that pic at least. But this could be the case of the character bearing little resemblance to their VA like Niko's VA
Update: Did some detective work his name is Shawn Fonteno and he's starred in two films both dirrected by DJ Pooh with one also starring the voice of Sweet from SA.
In the two scenes I saw him in he didn't look much like Franklin (he's allot chubbier) but when I heard him talk I was like oh sh*t he sounds just like Franklin
Comparison Video
Comparison picture He's heavier looking than Franklin but I can see a resemblance now
Update: OG Solo has closed his twitter account a day after we made the discovery, his account was inactivate for months before now. Definitely suspicious...
More info from Rutran
QUOTE (Rutran)
OG Solo (Shawn Fonteno) is also known as a rapper from Los Angeles, Watts CA. Affiliated with another Watts rapper - Kam and early Ice Cube's Lench Mob crew (everybody are affiliated with DJ Pooh).
As well Solo is known for beatin' up Ice Cube on the streets back in 1997.
Beef between Ice Cube and Cypress Hill (watch from 9:55 to hear short interview with Solo about what's going down - stoling Ice Cube's chain, Rolex watch and knockin' him out) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6G_AfAm1vaQ

Sounds like him! We should probably wait til the release to just be sure if its him! And it would make sense if he played Franklin seeing as this guy is affiliated with dj pooh and dj pooh has had quite a few connections to rockstar. And if this guy was Franklin, that would mean that rockstar found voice actors for 2 gta protagonists through pooh.

What do you mean by "starring the voice of Big Smoke"?

That's 100% Franklin's voice. That iphone screenshot is from my thread about Ned Luke's following list from way back in April. I remember seeing OG Solo on the list and trying to find more out about him. I'm glad this thread got posted.
