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.

It's always encouraging to see new talent breaking through due to pure determination and talent. Merseyside-based duo Truth Be Told are more than deserved of their popularity, which stems from both crowds and fellow musicians alike.

When their debut EP received key support from Richie Hawtin back in 2012, their sound was exposed to ears around the world, and things really started to change for them from a career perspective. They kept the momentum up by releasing on Hector Couto's Roush label and from there their music secured plays from Jamie Jones and Darius Syrossian.

After a string of releases, Truth Be Told developed their reputation even further by becoming an in-demand name, playing at numerous gigs up and down the country as well as shows internationally. Now you can find the lads involved with Sante's Avotre imprint gaining #15 in the Beatport charts, featured as Friday Fire from Danny Howard, plays from Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1 and an official remix for Eddie Amador on his legendary track 'House Music'.
