In 2007, he was signed to Ruthless Records, and has since founded his own record label, Funk Volume, in 2009. Hopsin has released two studio albums, Gazing At The Moonlight through Ruthless Records and Raw along with the mixtape Haywire (with SwizZz) through Funk Volume. He is due to release a collaboration extended play with Travis Barker and his third studio album Knock Madness in 2013. He is well known for his use of white colored eye contacts in music videos, performances, and interviews.

Early life

Marcus Hopson was born on July 18, 1985 in Los Angeles, and was raised in the Panorama City neighborhood of Los Angeles.[1] He attended James Monroe High School, where he was placed into special educational classes.[2] Hopsin has been an avid skateboarder since the age of twelve, as many of his music videos feature him skateboarding.[3] He started rapping at sixteen years old, and took his hobby more seriously by 2003 which is the year the majority of the tracks from Hopsin's self-produced album Emurge were recorded.[4] He dropped out of high school during his senior year in 2004 to pursue a career in music, purchased a microphone, and installed Fruity Loops onto his hard drive.[2] While starting his music career, Hopsin decided to sport colored eye contacts while performing in his music videos. He stated that he used the contacts to give himself a memorable appearance and differentiate himself from other African American rappers with the cliché appearance.[5] He credits Eminem as the rapper that initially got him interested into hip hop music.[6]

Music career

2007–2009: Struggle with Ruthless Records and beginning of Funk Volume

Hopsin had initially signed with Ruthless Records in 2007. He was origional hailed as one of driving forces behind attempting to bring Ruthless Records back to previous glory.[7] Hopsin's debut single "Pans In the Kitchen" was released on May 27, 2008.[8] The album was set to be self-produced by Hopsin and feature no collaborations with other artists.[7] However his debut album, Gazing at the Moonlight was not released until October 27, 2009, with little to no promotion.[9] Shortly after the album's release, Hopsin sought his release from Ruthless Records due to lack of financial compensation, artist support, and promotion.[10] Shortly before the departure from Ruthless Records, Hopsin appeared on Psychopathic Records WFUCKOFF Radio on [[Mars_(rapper) | Mars'] show "Suicide Hotline" and announced during an interview that he would be signing to Mad Insanity Records the label that houses Mars and Kung Fu Vampire. The following day, Hopsin recanted and said it he would be staying with Ruthless when approached by fans. The archive of the show was edited without Hopsin's interview and the two rappers parted ways. A few short months later Hopsin founded his own independent label, Funk Volume, with Damien Ritter. SwizZz, who is Damien Ritter's younger brother and a former classmate of Hopsin at Monroe High, was the first artist to be signed to Funk Volume. Shortly after launching Funk Volume, both Hopsin and SwizZz released a collaborative mixtape titled Haywire in June 2009 to promote the label.[11] Funk Volume origionally wanted to sell it for retail sale, but were unable to due to Hopsin still being contracted by Ruthless Records at the time.[12] On mixtape website DatPiff, it has been certified Gold for being downloaded over 100,000 times and it later made available for purchase for digital download via iTunes and Amazon.com.

2010–2011: Success with Funk Volume

Hopsin released "Nocturnal Rainbows" as the first promtional single off of his upcoming second album Raw on August 1, 2010.[13] On October 8, 2010, Hopsin released a music video for the song "Sag My Pants", the first official single off Raw on YouTube. The video became a YouTube success and currently has over 24 million views.[14] In the song Hopsin pokes fun and disses other rappers such as Lil Wayne, Drake, Soulja Boy, Lupe Fiasco, Rick Ross and Tomica Wright, the owner of Ruthless Records. Hopsin's second album, Raw, was released on November 19, 2010. In March 2011, Hopsin went a two-month nationwide tour to promote Raw with the I Am RAW tour.[15]

In July 2011, Hopsin released the fourth installment of his "Ill Mind of Hopsin" video series which later received over 21 million views on YouTube. In it he disses Tyler, the Creator of the Los Angeles hip hop collective, Odd Future.[16] On October 31, 2011, Hopsin was featured in a mobile battle rap game, Battle Rap Stars by Jump Shot Media.

2012–present: Mainstream breakthrough and Knock Madness

In January 2012, Hopsin landed a spot on MTV2's "Sucker Free Sunday" by appearing in Tech N9ne's music video for "Am I A Psycho?".[17] In February 2012 Hopsin appeared on the front cover of XXL as part of their annual "Top 10 Freshmen list" along with fellow rappers French Montana, MGK, Danny Brown, Roscoe Dash, Iggy Azalea, Macklemore, Don Trip, and Kid Ink.[18] In July 2012, Hopsin released the fifth installment of his "Ill Mind of Hopsin" video series which hit YouTube with huge success. It had received over 1 million views in less than 24 hours and currently has over 28 million views.[19][20][21] In "Ill Mind of Hopsin 5" Hopsin expresses his frustration with jaded youth and disenchantment towards other rappers who are unrelatable. It had also charted at number 17 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Digital songs chart.[22] In October 2012, Hopsin made an appearance on a BET Cypher during the 2012 BET Hip Hop Awards alongside SchoolBoy Q, Mac Miller and Mystikal.[23][24]

Hopsin's upcoming album, Knock Madness will be released on 26 November 2013,.[25] So far the confirmed featured guests for the album are Dizzy Wright, SwizZz, Jarren Benton, and Tech N9ne.[26] Hopsin also plans to get Yelawolf on the album, and had also mentioned a track that he and Travis Barker collaborated on which might appear on the album as well.[27] He has said the album will have more of a positive message and said it will be "better than Dr. Dre's Detox."[28] Hopsin and the rest of the Funk Volume artists went on a three-month worldwide tour in the fall of 2012 which included 54 shows in 60 days in the United States, Europe, and Australia.[29][30]

In December 2012, Hopsin had hinted on his Facebook and Twitter pages that him and Travis Barker are working on a project together, further details on the project were yet to be released. However, in late December, Travis Barker would say they are working on a collaboration EP which would be released in 2013.[31][32] Then on February 5, 2012 Hopsin would say all the production had been finished for the EP.[33] On January 24, 2013 Funk Volume released a music video featuring the entire roster; Hopsin, Dizzy Wright, SwiZzZ, Jarren Benton and DJ Hoppa for a song titled "Funk Volume 2013."[34] On March 30, 2013 performed at the 2013 Paid Dues festival in San Bernardino, California.[35]

Positive influences

Hopsin is staunchly against drug and alcohol usage, and has criticized how mainstream entertainers promote usage of drugs and alcohol to youth. In some of his tracks, such as "Nocturnal Rainbows," he emphasizes his dislike for drugs. Hopsin has stated that he tries to be a hip hop musician who can instill positive influences in people who listen to his music.[5][26]

Problems playing this file? See media help.

In July 2011 Hopsin released "Ill Mind of Hopsin 4" which in the second verse he disses Tyler, the Creator of the Los Angeles hip hop collective, Odd Future and his "Yonkers" music video.[16] Hopsin said that he hates Odd Future's music, noting its negativity and "random" lyrical content and criticizing the group's production values.[36] Tyler responded via Formspring, stating that although "[Hopsin] can rap," Tyler felt that Hopsin was "bitter" and attempting to "get a name" by dissing Tyler and Odd Future.[37] Hopsin later said he did not have a beef with Tyler.[38]

Soulja Boy

Hopsin's feud with Soulja Boy dates back to Hopsin's single "Sag My Pants", in which he disses Soulja. In late 2011 Soulja Boy called Hopsin "dope" but said that he wouldn't bother dissing him until Hopsin got more known.[39] On August 25, 2012, Soulja Boy made controversial comments towards Hopsin on one of his webcam chats with his fans when Soulja stated "Fuck Hopsin. I'm about to go in the studio and record this Hopsin diss real quick". Way then said "That nigga’s a bitch; fuck that bitch ass nigga."[39] Three days later on August 27, 2012 Hopsin and Soulja confronted each other on Tinychat where Hopsin goaded Soulja into dissing him.[40] On September 3, 2012, Soulja released a Hopsin diss entitled "That Nigga Not Me", to which Hopsin has not responded.[41] In an interview with Tim Westwood following that diss, Hopsin put down the diss song as horrible and said the only rapper he has legitimate beef with is Soulja Boy. He also said he is contemplating "smashing the hell out of Soulja's career."[42]

Orlando arrest

Photo by the Orlando Police Department, August 26, 2012.[1]

On August 25, 2012, Hopsin was scheduled to perform at Club 57 West, a popular night club located in Orlando, Florida. At the last minute, the club promoters chose to pull the last opening act, causing a verbal altercation between the club promoters and the artist's entourage. Some witnesses claim Hopsin tried to settle the argument verbally, while Hopsin claims he tried to defuse a fight outside of the club on his way to 7-Eleven (without indicating whether this was the same conflict, or something unrelated). At one point, Hopsin even offered 15 minutes of his own set to help find a solution to the problem.[43] Hopsin was detained shortly thereafter once police responded to the initial call stemming from the altercation inside the club. According to court records, he was arrested for disorderly conduct.[1] On September 21, the assistant state attorney decided not to officially file the information.

Acting career

Hopsin got his start in entertainment appearing as a background extra in movies and Disney Channel TV shows such as John Tucker Must Die, Even Stevens and Lizzie McGuire. His most notable work was on That's So Raven, which he worked on for seven years, starting when he was 15.[44] He also made an appearance in the 2009 film Fame as a rapper.
