Over the years, hip-hop artists have stayed true to the genre’s cardinal rule of staying authentic, and Boogiefrmda8 is no different. Rapper Boogiefrmda8 is all about authenticity and being genuine to oneself, and he is taking over the music world with his unapologetic sound and blunt persona.
Boogie grew up in a rough neighborhood in Compton, California, and started rapping at the age of eight, having fun freestyling with his cousin. By the time he was in high school, it had developed into a passion, and he gained the attention of many by rapping over other artists’ beats. Fueled by the hype he got, Boogie decided to advance on his rap career and write his own tracks.
“I grew up in Bompton on 148TH AND LONESS. Young Boogie was around five when my dad used to have me on the block with him. At one point, I was the lookout. It’s crazy because he didn’t tell me to lookout, I did that shit on my own. I was paying attention to my dad and the OG homies lifestyle. Off back I learned who were the OPPS and that include the police. I rap about what I seen and what I been through,” the rapper shared on how his upbringing influenced his sound.
Using his experiences as fuel for his raps, Boogie has harnessed a firm conviction in his music that screams certainty, individuality, and confidence in what he is doing as an artist, quickly imposing a belief that he has a one-of-a-kind persona as a rapper among the other artists in today’s concentrated music industry.
When asked what inspired him to dedicate himself to a music career, Boogiefrmda8 insightfully replied, “I wasn’t inspired by anyone. I knew my calling; I visualized my ending, and my end result is what keeps me motivated. If that makes sense?”
Boogie’s intrigue in expressing his emotions through words fuels his passion for making music, as well as the goals he wishes to achieve along with the progression of his music career. At the core of his motivation to make music is the need to strive hard in order to reach the ending he visualizes.
“Get money, follow your dreams. It’s perfectly OK to be the underdog. You ain’t gotta have a bunch of cheerleaders following you around. As long as you stay true to yourself, your craft, and stay grinding everything else will line up as it is supposed to be. Be your own man and if a nigga can’t accept that you don’t wanna be around their fake ass no way,” Boogie urges his fans.
The rapper is currently promoting his recent single “Not Him,” which is now available on different music streaming platforms like Soundcloud, Apple Music, and Spotify.
With his continuous rise in the hip-hop scene, Boogiefrmda8 has proven to be more than just a baritone voice layered over rhythmic beats. He has built a sizable fanbase for himself among the underground scene, and his audiences will surely get the time of their lives listening to his self-titled mixtape Boogiefrmda8 set for release in the next few months.
Boogiefrmda8’s career is just starting to take off, and he has many plans for the future, including headlining his own sold-out show in a few states and across countries. He also wants to do more for the community, especially for the kids and the elderly.
