'''Marcus Jamal Hopson''', better known as '''Hopsin''', an alteration of [[Last-Name Basis|his last name]], is an underground rapper whose style is generally described as angry, cynical and somewhat melodic, and is often compared to early [[Eminem]] albums. Hopsin has admitted that Eminem is one of his primary influences, so he seems to be aware of this. He is very critical of mainstream hip-hop's glorification of drugs, alcohol and glamorized gangsta lifestyles, as well as mainstream rappers who use them as part of their act. He also releases yearly freestyles on his [[YouTube]] channel.
In 2009 he released his debut album, ''Gazing
In 2016, he left Funk Volume, citing a financial dispute with Dame as the main reason for leaving. The label shut down soon after. He released ''No Shame'' in 2017 under his label Undercover Prodigy.
