Biography
Hopsin—Marcus Jamal Hopson—is an American rapper, songwriter, and record producer from Los Angeles. Born July 18, 1985, he rose to recognition through a signature visual identity: white-colored eye contacts worn in music videos and live performances. His professional trajectory began when Jerry Heller signed him to Ruthless Records, resulting in his debut studio album Gazing at the Moonlight in 2009. That same year, Hopsin founded Funk Volume, an independent label through which he released Raw (2010) and Knock Madness (2013), establishing creative autonomy early in his career. In 2015, he signed with Warner Records and released Pound Syndrome, which peaked within the top 20 of the Billboard 200 and remains his most commercially successful album. His fifth album, No Shame (2017), came through Undercover Prodigy, a joint venture with 300 Entertainment launched in 2016, though it received mixed critical reception and lesser commercial returns. Beyond his solo work, Funk Volume functioned as a regional label, signing and releasing projects for artists SwizZz, Dizzy Wright, and Jarren Benton before dissolving in 2016. In 2020, Hopsin joined the board of directors for Artist Republik, a media-based technology company. As a Cancer born in mid-July, his zodiac nature aligns with the introspective and rebellious tone of his production. Rappers perform live, record albums, and produce tracks—roles Hopsin has embodied across two decades.
