YUP!

Knock Madness available November 26th

“The whole thing that got me here was controversy,” admits Hopsin. In 2010, the Panorama City, California native’s back was against the wall. He was unhappily signed to Eazy-E’s former label with a debut ('Gazing at the Moonlight') failing to meet his artistic and commercial expectations after years of acting on a major network and a feature film. Hardly a “kiddie rapper,” the emcee took to the Internet and released, “Sag My Pants,” an instant rewind. “I lashed out against Ruthless Records. I knew that would have some shock value. But at the time, I had to do whatever I could do.” Hopsin’s survival mechanisms have guided him through life. As a youth placed in special education classes, Hop overcame the obstacles to become a video editor, music producer in addition to rapper. He is also co-founder of the low profile indie-powerhouse Funk Volume, currently with 600,000 Youtube subscribers and 1.2 Million Facebook Likes. This 2012 XXL Freshman is at the top of his class.
In the three years since 'Raw', Hopsin has steadily supplied his thousands of album-buying fans with free music, notably his “Ill Mind of Hopsin” series. The artist is still fearless in maintaining the spirit of lunchroom battles with SwizZz years ago; “I don’t care to burn a bridge if I didn’t want to cross it anyway.” In the meantime, he appeared on Tech N9ne’s video single “Am I a Psycho?” as well as a top 3 album by Insane Clown Posse, the Mighty Death Pop. “The key thing is I don’t hang around bullshit artists who convince me to make bullshit songs. I just hang in my basement with the same people I’ve always hanged with. I’m the same guy; I haven’t changed.”
With cover stories and a plethora of seven-figure Youtube content, the self-made talent is sticking to his formula on his third LP, Knock Madness. “It’s gonna be hard to top—I’m calling it right now,” he boasts, claiming it’s just “an enhancement” of his work. Moreover, he wants to punctuate his career. “this will probably be my last album for a long time.” elaborating, the recluse promises “the biggest tour I’ve ever done, and I’m leavin’ for a while” as devotes his attention to Funk Volume.
While controversy may have made Hopsin a star, skill and courage made him a fan favorite. Hopsin has the attitude and charisma that makes hip hop unpredictable again.

Pound Syndrome

Forever III

[Verse]

Mind in the tunnel, thoughts ricochet off steel beams

Echoes of the hustle, cash flows in fractured dreams

Concrete veins pumping life through the dark

Graffiti scriptures, hieroglyphs in the park



Dust on my kicks, city grime in my lungs

Every word I spit sharper than switchblade tongues

Pockets thin as shadows, but the spirit stay fat

Manhole covers steaming, that’s the city’s breath chat



[Chorus]

Underground, where the beats get raw

Echo in the chambers, breaking the law

Rhymes like train tracks, never derail

Subway reverie, inhale, exhale



[Verse 2]

Turnstiles spinning like roulette at the station

Chasing that next meal, no time for vacation

Lights flicker, rats scurry, survival's the test

City symphony plays, chaos orchestrates the rest



Pipes dripping rhythm, walls whisper pain

Metro cards worn thin, a journey through the mundane

But I’m Picasso with a mic, painting subway art

Lines connect like transit maps, a poet’s heart



[Bridge]

Train brakes screeching, life’s abrupt stops

Passengers staring, stories untold, heart drops

Underground gospel, sermons of the street

Truth wrapped in riddles, over kick-snare beats

Subway Reverie
