![]() ![]() And although all of these recent outputs (save for "The Growing Process") have been good, none of them have been great. 1" by Jarren Benton was a really strong EP, and "Hoppa And Friends" and "Pathomania" by DJ Hoppa and Kato respectively were decent enough, but "The Growing Process" by Dizzy Wright was a huge disappointment. Not to say there haven't been good albums released under the FV banner this year, because there have. Being that all of the label's artists are contributing an album and creating a large contrast from 2014 where a maximum of one project was released from Funk Volume. So on paper it would seem like that was a great thing. They've released five projects as of the last seven months and have a sixth slated towards the latter portion of this 365 day rotation. Especially since 2015 has been such an interesting and somewhat mixed year for FV. I am actually a big fan of Hopsin and really wanted "Pound Syndrome" to deliver. ![]() I am one of the rare few who doesn't fall 100% on either side. While others see him as an immature, corny and gratuitous Eminem biter who rides shallow instrumentals and addresses issues with the most on-the-nose approach possible. Some hold Hopsin as the savior of a faltering genre, who will call out bull *** when he sees it, and educate his fans on what is really happening in the world. But It seems as though the Rap community as a whole is extremely split on the California emcee. He has found great success with his co-founded record label Funk Volume through, not just his own music, but also that of Dizzy Wright, SwizZz and Jarren Benton's respective musical outputs. I don't know if there is a more polarizing figure in the independent Hip Hop space than Marcus Hopson. Review Summary: This is a really pleasant surprise.
