Kreayshawn is borderline terrible, we all know that. I mean “Gucci Gucci” was cool, but it has become pretty evident that she has no real value to the world of music. Hopie, a rising female San Francisco MC that I am only hearing for the first time today, reminds me a lot of Kreayshawn, only without all the corny lyrics and random drama we have come to expect from the puntable hip-hop version of Lady Gaga. I mean, their voices are nearly identical, they both create catchy rap tracks, yet Hopie seems far more genuine and true to the actual craft. Even the cover artwork you are staring at above seems like something that little rodent of a rapper would put out, right? No shots at Hopie though, I think we need more fun and loving females in hip-hop. Anyway, Hopie’s full-length Raw Gems is out now, and it features the likes of MURS, Del the Funky Homosapien, Moe Green and more.

Bay Area female emcee Hopie may not yet be a household name but that could all soon change once the hip-hopper's brand new self-released album Raw Gems, which with production by 6Fingers captures the artist at her best and in some excellent company (guest spots from MURS, Del the Funky Homosapien, LuckyIAm, Moe Green, Psalm One, Josie Stingray, and Donwill) makes its way out into the hip-hop sphere and hip-hop fans catch up on this San Francisco secret. The new album, which dropped this week, is the third full-length album from the artist who until very recently went by the rap name Hopie Spitshard and who was also known as simply Hopie Spitta. Tomorrow night (Thursday September 15th) the Manila, Philippines born and Daly City, San Francisco raised artist will be throwing a big record release party / hip-hop showcase at 330 Ritch for which she'll be joined by an array of local talents including DJ Snayk Eyez, La Femme Deadly Venoms, Rocky Rivera, and Hard Candy,
