Don’t let the facade fool you. The young Pinay to the left is indeed cute and stylish, but she is also a saucy femcee and a full-time law student. Hopie hales from the West Bay and has been grinding on The Bay’s indie scene for a minute now. 

Her first album, Diamond Dame, won her some underground buzz, and her forthcoming Raw Gems tape is poised to do the same. I know a lot of emcees who rap as their full time hustle, so I got to respect a young woman about to earn her JD while also droppping an LP. Give Hopie a few spins, she might literally eat your favorite rapper. Don’t believe me? Peep her video for “Yummy” below.
