The original Ill Mind, Hopsin stopped by Hot 97’s Ebro in the Morning for an impressive interview that all aspiring artists should take note of. The high-energy interview started off with the basics, such as the origin of his stage name, his infamous That’s So Raven cameo and how he started his own label (Funk Volume) after his deal with Ruthless Records went sour. But, things got really interesting around the halfway mark when Hopsin started dropping music business game, such as the importance of creating an image, harnessing the power of the internet and the challenges that come along with adjusting to fame. All in all, this proved to be an informative interview. Not just for artists, but anybody with a dream and the drive to get there. Check it out below and stay on the look out for more from Hopsin, as he just signed a new distribution deal through Warner. Also, be sure to pick up a copy of his upcoming album, Pound Syndrome, dropping July 24th.
