His primary musical influences included <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jackson">Michael Jackson</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eminem">Eminem</a>, with many listeners drawing stylistic comparisons between Hopsin's lyrical delivery and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eminem">Eminem</a>'s.</p>
<p>Although Hopsin’s initial exposure came from uploading self-produced rap videos online, his passion and distinct style quickly attracted attention.

<h2>Career and Rise to Fame</h2>
<p>Hopsin began his career as an independent hip-hop artist in 2004. Using basic home recording equipment, he produced an unofficial project titled <em>Emurge</em> in 2002, which he later distributed locally in Los Angeles. After several minor projects, his breakthrough came when he signed with Ruthless Records. His debut single “Pans in the Kitchen” and his first official studio album, <em>Gazing at the Moonlight</em>, were released in 2009. Despite the milestone, the project received little promotion. Frustrated by a lack of financial compensation and support, Hopsin parted ways with the label.</p>
<p>In response, he cofounded the independent label Funk Volume alongside Damien Ritter and fellow rapper SwizZz. In June 2009, Hopsin and SwizZz released a collaborative mixtape, <em>Haywire</em>, to promote the new label. Funk Volume went on to sign other artists, becoming an important stepping stone in Hopsin’s career.</p>
<p>Hopsin's second studio album, <em>Raw</em>, arrived on November 19, 2010. The album featured singles such as “Nocturnal Rainbows” and the provocative “Sag My Pants,” in which Hopsin criticized mainstream rappers including <a href="/biography/drake">Drake</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soulja_Boy">Soulja Boy</a>, and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lupe_Fiasco">Lupe Fiasco</a>, as well as Tomica Wright, the head of Ruthless Records. The latter reflected his dissatisfaction with his experience at his previous label.</p>
<p>In 2016, creative and personal differences led Hopsin to leave Funk Volume. He soon established a new independent label, Undercover Prodigy. Under this banner, he released the track “Ill Mind of Hopsin 8,” a diss aimed at former business partner Damien Ritter, continuing his tradition of using music as a personal and artistic outlet.</p>
<p>In addition to music, Hopsin has taken on small acting roles. He appeared in the 2009 film <em>Fame</em> as a Senior Rapper and starred in <em>Bomb The World</em> (2010) as a character named Face.</p>

<h2>Personal Life</h2>
<p><a href="/biography/hopsin">Marcus Jamal Hopson</a> has never been married and has stated in interviews that he considers himself too young and self-aware of his complex personality to commit to marriage. He does not have biological children but is an involved uncle to his siblings’ children. Hopsin has had legal troubles in the past, including minor arrests, but he remains outspoken about his stance against alcohol and drug abuse, both in the music industry and society at large.</p>

<h2>Media Presence and Publications</h2>
<p>Hopsin maintains an active presence across major social media platforms, including Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, where he engages regularly with fans. His independent journey and music career were chronicled in the 2013 documentary <em>Independent Living: The Funk Volume Documentary</em>, in which he appeared as himself. The film offers insight into both his personal motivations and the formation of his former label, Funk Volume.</p>
