Frost spent parts of his childhood on military bases in Guam and Germany. He began rapping in 1982. As an MC, he named himself Kid Frost as a tribute to Ice T who he often battled . He soon joined Uncle Jamm's Army. As a solo artist, his earliest 12" electro rap records came out on Electrobeat Records and Baja Records.
Trivia: His song "La Raza" was highly popularised among the non-initiated due to its appearance in the soundtrack of the computer game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, in which it was featured in the fictional Radio Los Santos radio station.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yo soy jefe, maton, yes the Big Boss
My cuete's loaded, it's full of balas
I put it in your face and you won't say nada
Vatos, cholos, you call us what you will
You say we are assassins an we are sent to kill
It's in my blood to be an Aztec Warrior
Go to any extreme and hold no barriers
Guantes, chingazos, simon tu sabes, get down
Right now, in the dirt
What's the matter? You afraid you're gonna get hurt?
I'm with my homeboys, my camaradas
Kicking back millaje, why pa mi no vale nada
Yo soy chingon ese, like Al Capone ese
Controlo a todos solo never try to swept me
Some of you don't know what's happening que pasa
It's not for you anyway, 'cause this is for the Raza
This for La Raza, Raza
This for La Raza, Raza
This for La Raza, Raza
This for La Raza, Raza
The form I'm speaking is known as Calo
Why sabes que loco? Yo soy muy malo
Tu no sabes nada why yo vienes halo
Been hit in the head too many times with the palos
Still you trying to act cool, but you should know
You're so cool that I'ma call you a culo
You're just a pee wee, you can't get it ever
You're a leva
Your own barrio doesn't back you up
They just look at your ass and call you a pool butt
And so I look and I laugh and say que pasa
Yeah, this is for the Raza
This for La Raza, Raza
This for La Raza, Raza
This for La Raza, Raza
This for La Raza, Raza
Cruising in the calle, headed for the bolo
No want to go with me, so I had to go solo
And when I go out alone I'm packed
I touch all that chavalas when they know that I'm strapped
Every time that I pack my piece
I pull it out quick all the nonsense desease
Just like the song when you're 18 With A Bullet
Got my finger on a trigger, I'm not afraid to pull it
If it gets out of hand I know some mafiosos
Quick to pull out cuetes on some stupid ass baboso
Sitting there wondering what's happened, que pasa
Yeah, this is for the Raza
This for La Raza, Raza
This for La Raza, Raza
This for La Raza, Raza
This for La Raza, Raza
In Kid Frost's song "La Raza," he represents and celebrates his Chicano culture as a warrior by stating that it is in his blood. He is proud to be Chicano and he is not afraid to hold back. His tone is confrontational and aggressive, which is emphasized by his use of technical terms and familiar Calo, a Pachuco language, to show his solidarity with his fellow Chicanos since it is considered to be an important element of their culture. The lyrics reflect the anger and resistance that Chicanos face within society, with many people quick to view them as gangsters and troublemakers without truly understanding their culture.
The rapper creates a vivid image of gang violence and street life, describing the territorial battles that are prevalent within Chicano neighborhoods. The song conveys a sense of union, pride, and solidarity with his fellow Chicanos through the empowering chorus: "This for La Raza, Raza." Frost's lyrics break down the barriers between different groups who try to pit them against each other, which highlights the key themes of unity, strength, and pride among Chicano people.

If things get out of hand, I know some Mafia guys
Quick to pull out cuetes on some stupid ass baboso
Quick to pull out guns on some stupid idiot
Sitting there wondering what's happened, que pasa
Sitting there wondering what's happened, what's up
Yeah, this is for the Raza
Yeah, this is for the people
