About A-Boogie Wit Da Hoodie
The Bronx-bred artist Artist Dubose, better known as A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, first hit the rap scene with the breakout hit “Still Think About You” which was featured on his 2016 debut mixtape, ARTIST. A Boogie quickly proved himself to be one of the game’s newest heavyweights after XXL dubbed him as “one of the hottest and newest up-and-comers in hip-hop” and included him in the 2017 Freshman Class. The young star also went on to release the 5x platinum single “Drowning feat. Kodak Black” and 4x platinum “Look Back At It,” along with the 2x platinum certified single “Jungle” and platinum certified “Timeless.” During the fall of 2017, A Boogie went on to release his highly anticipated, now gold certified, debut album, THE BIGGER ARTIST, which quickly sprung into the Top 5 on Billboard’s Top 200. He also became the top emerging acting in the U.S. as he simultaneously sprung to #1 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart. It is easy to see why The New York Times named A Boogie “the most promising young rapper the city has produced in some time.” A Boogie earned a BET Award Nomination for “Best New Artist” at the end of 2018 in addition to releasing his 2x platinum sophomore album, HOODIE SZN, which made its debut at #2 before spending three nonconsecutive weeks at #1 and maintaining a stunning 17-week streak within the top 10 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. The album also soared on streaming, garnering over 83 million streams the week it went #1. After embarking on his sold out “A Boogie vs. Artist” Tour, A Boogie released his third studio album, Artist 2.0, and its subsequent deluxe edition which boasted collaborations with Young Thug, Roddy Ricch, Gunna, DaBaby, Summer Walker, Khalid, Lil Uzi Vert, and more, and debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 with over 120,000 album equivalent units, topping HOODIE SZN’s debut week. Following the album’s release, A Boogie made a stunning debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, performing the fan-favorite track, “Me and My Guitar,” accompanied by H.E.R.. In 2021, A Boogie reemerged with his latest single, “24 Hours” with rapper, Lil Durk.
About Trippie Redd
Michael Lamar White IV, better known as Trippie Redd, is a rapper from Canton, Ohio. After working on mixtapes like 2016’s Beast Mode and Awakening My InnerBeast, Trippie Redd delivered his most involved work with 2017’s A Love Letter to You, which reached the Top 100 of the Billboard 200. He soon relocated from Ohio to Atlanta as his fame grew. A Love Letter to You 2 followed and debuted in the Top 40 of the Billboard 200 albums chart. That same month, Trippie joined with Lil Wop for the EP Angels & Demons. Before the end of the year, he scored his first Hot 100 entry with the Travis Scott-assisted single “Dark Knight Dummo.” In 2018, Trippie Redd issued several singles in anticipation of his debut studio album, Life’s a Trip. The LP placed the artist’s voice at the center of many songs, highlighting his unique vocal style as both a rapper and singer. Just a few months later, he returned with the mixtape A Love Letter to You 3, another chapter of depressive and angsty lyrics on both sung and rapped tracks. His second studio album, !, arrived in 2019. Its title was inspired by the album ? by the late rapper XXXTentacion and continued Trippie’s emo rap musings. Trippie released his third studio album, A Love Letter To You 4, on November 22 2019. With features from Juice WRLD, Lil Mosey, YNW Melly, YoungBoy Never Broke Again and more, the album earned Trippie his first #1 on the Billboard 200 chart.
