Gerard Damien Long (born November 9, 1990), better known by his stage name Hodgy Star (formerly Hodgy Beats), is an American rapper and record producer. He is a member of the hip hop collective Odd Future as well as the former duo MellowHype with Left Brain, and MellowHigh with Domo Genesis.

Music career

Hodgy Star was an original member of Odd Future along with Tyler, the Creator, Left Brain, The Super 3, and Casey Veggies. Hodgy was the first member of Odd Future to release a solo record, with The Dena Tape in 2009. As a member of the duo MellowHype with Left Brain, he has released four albums; YelloWhite, BlackenedWhite, Numbers, and INSA (I Need Some Answers).

Hodgy Star has been featured on various albums including Bastard, Goblin and Wolf by Tyler, The Creator, Earl by Earl Sweatshirt, Rolling Papers by Domo Genesis, 119 by Trash Talk, and The Odd Future Tape, Radical and The OF Tape Vol. 2 with Odd Future. He appeared on "Outta Control", a song from Stones Throw rapper M.E.D.'s album Classic, produced by fellow Los Angeles native Madlib. Hodgy also appeared in the music video for that song which was released after the song was released.[1]

Hodgy Star has released five solo mixtapes: The Dena Tape, Untitled EP, Untitled 2 EP, Dena Tape 2, and They Watchin' LoFi Series 1. On October 31, 2013, MellowHigh (Left Brain, Hodgy Beats, Domo Genesis) released their debut album MellowHigh on Odd Future Records. The album debuted at number 89 on the US Billboard 200.[2] In 2015, Hodgy revealed that he his almost done with his solo debut album and also working with an artist Dj Kaunn. He also starred as a feature artist on Alison Wonderland's remix of The Buzz, by Hermitude.

Personal life

Gerard Long was born and raised in Trenton, New Jersey. He is of Jamaican American, Fijian and Filipino descent. At the age of nine, he moved to Southern California with his sister after his mother got remarried.[3] He attended Pasadena High School in Pasadena, California.

On August 1, 2011, his long-time girlfriend Cortney Brown, gave birth to their son, named Trenton Gerald Long. Vyron Turner (Left Brain) is Trenton's godfather.[4]

In November 2015, Hodgy started going in on Tyler, The Creator crying about how Tyler went his own way because Odd Future started to sink because certain members like Hodgy smoked too much weed and lost their ambition. People quickly realised that Hodgy was a has-been who has anger issues stemming from his troublesome childhood and his immense immaturity when handling simple tasks such as maintaining his composure and humbleness. Hodgy is considered one of the most selfish members of OF.
