Hopsin was back in full force in 2018 after facing a few setbacks the years prior. After announcing that he left Funk Volume and launched his own independent label, he came through with new music and launched the rollout to his album No Shame. Following the release of the album, he continuously delivered new music throughout 2018 but fans are hoping he delivers the follow-up this year. Today, he returns with his first track of the new year.
Hopsin is back in his bag with his new track, "You Should've Known" featuring Dax. The rapper delivers a haunting anthem that's carried by a hair-raising piano loop and crunchy beats. Dax really has the stand-out performance as he holds down both the first verse and the hook. Hopsin's bars don't disappoint either as he completely demolishes the second half of the song.
Peep the new record below.
Quotable Lyrics
Check out the drip (not)
I keep the juice in the oven
Life is an everyday struggle
But keep to yourself, homie,
You shouldn't Budden
