A versatile lyricist, Hogg wants the world to know he is not
the average
Chicano rapper. Although "reppin' Mexicans to
the fullest", Hogg feels his unique voice, metaphors and
clever punch lines will help him to stand out amongst the
sea of up and coming Latino acts.
Hogg’s love for hip-hop began at a young age, rapping over
instrumentals with friends. His talents were recognized
early on by his cousin, who would often brag about Hogg's
skills and encourage him to take it to the next level.
Unfortunately, it was not until the tragic death of his
cousin in 1993 did Hogg start getting serious about rapping.
Always remembering his inspiring words to change his life
and get off the streets, Hogg remembered his cousin's wishes
for him to become a successful hip hop artist. Now, he not
only presses on in memory of his cousin, but also as an
example to his younger brother. Hogg hopes his musical
accomplishments will help to serve as an alternative to gang
life not only for his brother, but for youth everywhere.
“This multi-dimensional approach is sure to aid in Hogg
Boss's mass appeal.” Hogg's manager, Cliff Ritchey, Jr.
seems to think so too. As one of the ground-breaking
facilitators of Latin rap's introduction to the mainstream
music scene with the success of A Lighter Shade of Brown,
Ritchey feels Hogg Boss is a seasoned artist on the verge.
