Wow, Guess Which Former XXL Freshman Says He’s Quitting Rap!

After being named as one of the XXL Freshman in 2012 alongside Danny Brown, Machine Gun Kelly, Macklemore, French Montana, Future, Kid Ink, Don Trip, Iggy Azalea and Roscoe Dash, L.A.-based rapper Hopsin went on to have a moderately successful career. It was much more on an underground level, but he consistently toured and put out solid projects, just not on such a mainstream level like some of his classmates. (Save for Don Trip and kind of Roscoe Dash…this may be the most successful class yet!) Unfortunately, the cutthroat rap game may have proved to be too much for Hopsin, and he took to his Facebook account last night to announce his indefinite retirement.

Hopsin released the tracklisting to his up-coming, Knock Madness via a series of tweets. The Funk Volume artist has been dealing with label issues and at this point, he’s thinking about giving up his career as a rapper due to those issues, among other things. Hopsin now gives us an early release of the cover art for the project that’s dated, Nov. 26th. “I wanted to show what early wrong decisions can do to youngsters in the long run,” Hopsin says. “I also wanted to show what they can possibly miss out on.” When your labeling isn’t making the necessary moves, do it yourself.
