It would probably be easier if we told you what Hopsin doesn’t do, but Hop is an MC, producer, director, actor, and editor. And his journey has been anything but painless.
Stuck in special education classes, Hopsin did not see much of a future in high school. His teachers did nothing but reinforce the feelings that he wouldn’t amount to anything; especially if he continued to waste his time attending classes where nothing was actually being taught. So with no money and only a few real friends, Hopsin dropped out of school in 2004.
Determined to be one of Southern Cali’s premier MCs Hopsin bought an $8 microphone from Wal-Mart, installed Fruity Loops on his computer, and locked himself in the basement. As time went by he knew that his lyrics and production had surpassed what he was hearing on the radio. He combined his skills with a new image [often seen wearing white contacts] and emerged from the basement.
In 2007, Hopsin signed a major record deal with Ruthless Records, and released his freshman album, “Gazing at the Moonlight” in October 2009. Unfortunately Hopsin was never able to get on the same page as Ruthless, so in 2010 he decided to cut ties, and join his own label, Funk Volume.
In November 2010, he released his sophomore album, RAW, and has not looked backed.  Since then Hopsin has headlined over 200+ shows around the world, grew his Facebook page to over 2 Million fans, and racked up millions of YouTube views.
Hopsin released the highly anticipated album, “Knock Madness” in November 2013 and spent 2014 touring in over 100 cities around the globe. He's preparing to take over once again in 2015.

23 // REAL // Sold Out // MKII
JCO is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, engineer and record producer. At only 23 years old, the Kansas City artist is hungry to dominate the game in every aspect. JCO has become known for his unique, unexpected style - formed through his own production, incredible work ethic, and lyrical ability as an emcee.

In the later months of 2012, JCO burst into the scene with his first recorded single. He continued to write and record until the end of 2016. It was then that the young artist picked up an interest in making every aspect his own. Since learning to perfect his craft independently, JCO became an independent rapper, producer, engineer - and just about everything else.

The Summer of 2017 brought us JCO's first official project, REAL, which he produced the majority of himself. With a few tracks produced by friends, the other 90% of the project was entirely JCO. The mixtape seemed to spark a flame in his eye, as the next Summer, we were given a second, even more self-produced product, titled Sold Out. Since the release of the second title, several singles have been dropped while the next album, "MKII" is out now.
