Sugar Water

San Francisco emcee, Hopie, has been a fixture in the underground hip hop scene since her first release, 'The Diamond Dame', in 2008, which immediately earned her placement in URB Magazine's Next 1000. After her first release, she set aside music to get her law degree from U.C. Hastings, emerging intermittently to release several music videos, create a T-shirt line with popular streetwear brand, Adapt, and perform at Guerilla Union's Paid Dues 2010. In 2011, Hopie returned to the music scene with two independent albums: 'Dulce Vita' (February 2011) and 'Raw Gems' (September 2011), both produced by The Diamond Dame producer, 6Fingers (Vallejo, CA). In 2012, she was named one of the Bay Area Freshman 10. Hopie has collaborated with some of the most exciting names in underground hip hop, including MURS, Exile Radio, LuckyIAm, Psalm One, Chuuwee, and Bambu, and has been mentored by and worked closely with Del the Funky Homosapien. Sugar Water is Hopie's highly anticipated fourth independent release. Comprised of an eclectic collection of instrumentals submitted by various notable underground producers throughout the U.S., Sugar Water is Hopie's most comprehensive project showcasing her ability to tackle a variety of topics while still embracing the playful lyricism that garnered her growing fanbase. If you're a fan of past albums 'Dulce Vita' and 'Raw Gems', Sugar Water is the marriage of both, plus more.
