  East Side Story is the second studio album by American rapper Kid Frost. It was released in 1992 through Virgin Records, making it his final album for the label and also his last album under the alias of 'Kid Frost', as he would change his name to 'Frost'. Production was handled by Will Roc, Tony G., Mr. Mixx of 2 Live Crew, Geoff Rios, Mike Greene, K-Cut and Frost himself. The album features guest appearances from Rich Garcia, Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E., A.L.T., Denetria Champ, Joe Harris, MC Eiht of Compton's Most Wanted, Prince Teddy and Scringer Ranks.
  
  The album peaked at number 73 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and at number 54 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart in the United States. It spawned three singles: "No Sunshine", "Thin Line" and "Another Firme Rola (Bad Cause I'm Brown)". Its lead single, "No Sunshine", made it to #95 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and #20 on the Hot Rap Songs chart. "Thin Line" only reached #11 on the Hot Rap Songs chart, and "Another Firme Rola (Bad Cause I'm Brown)" wasn't charted.
