H.O.P.E., the young Cali-bred MC, is about to change how the whole world looks at the Westcoast. Born Marquis Wright, Hope grew up in the heart of Compton. He was raised purely off Hip-Hop stating " all my dad used to play was Tribe and alot of what we now consider old school Hip-hop." As he got older he played with rap, until he formed a group with some of his highschool friends, who were managed then by now friend/partner Julien Edwards. After the group fell out, he knew he had to succeed in the Hip-Hop game.
"If im not doing music, then what the hell am i here for?" exclaimed H.O.P.E. "I cant see myself doing anything other then this." With his freshly-unique flow and whitty, yet captivating lyrical content, people are already begining to whisper about H.O.P.E. being one of the best in LA. With influences like Jay-Z. 2pac, Biggie and NAS...H.O.P.E.'s future is looking brighter then ever...
"I listen to the greats, cause thats what I'm aiming for. Nothing less."
