Always doing shows ,blogging and out networking, Hopie knows what it take to make it in the game, With the release of her solo album The Diamond dame she's been making waves, and with the new Hopie x Adapt colab in the works Hopie's got a lot on her plate.
but when you are as hungry as she is you should.

It's not easy being a female in the male-dominated rap world. Popular rap music seemingly propagates only one-half the human experience -the male half- and a narrow perspective of the male experience, at that. Because most rap lyrics remain inherently misogynistic, female MCs enter a game already predisposed to treat them like shit. This on top of having to proving their rap skills in an already saturated scene.

With a natural swagger and unapologetic confidence, HOPIE SPITSHARD comes at you hard as any man, and with no reservations. She embraces her identity as a female rapper and proudly announces her Filipina heritage: two significantly underrepresented groups in hip hop culture. Once you hear HOPIE'S melodic lyrics playfully control a beat, you know you've got a HOPIE track; so decidedly feminine, yet strong and resolute, almost cocky. You can hear her hold her own against raspy-voiced male samples or hugging a 16-bar directly preceeding a burly male MC. HOPIE SPITSHARD has such a unique delivery, it doesn't fucking matter if she's female or male; you just know she can fucking spit.

HOPIE SPITSHARD was born in Manila and raised in SF's Sunset District and Daly City. At 11, HOPIE started rapping and composing music as "Kae Hope." By 19, was a seasoned singer/songwriter. Throughout college, she performed monthly with a cover band its lead vocalist/drummer and had regular recording sessions around the Bay Area. At 22, HOPIE joined the rap duo, "The Wrong Hands," and released a collaborative album, We All Fall, in February 2008. HOPIE then teamed up with respected Vallejo producer, 6Fingers, and released her solo album, The Diamond Dame, on July 8, 2008. To date, HOPIE has rapped with high caliber rappers, such as Del the Funky Homosapien and Bambu, and has opened for Casual, Pacific Division, Kiwi, and many more. In Spring of 2008, Urb Magazine nominated HOPIE for inclusion in their prestigious Next 1000 issue, which showcases up and coming musicians. HOPIE currently lives in SF's Excelsior District and attends U.C. Hastings Law School. HOPIE cites Andre 3000, Del & B.I.G. as her main influences.

HOPIE SPITSHARD may very well be the female to shatter the stereotypes about females in rap. Unlike other women prepackaged for the rap audience, she has full creative control over her "sound" and "image"- basically, she's not gonna hoe it up to compensate for her gender. It's about time the hip hop generation get more credit. They DO want to hear something different, they DON'T want dumbed down lyrics and played-out sexism, and they DO want an intelligent female voice in rap. Trust me, they've already started listening for her. C'mon, be a fan.
