Hailing straight from the Motor City is an artist that you don’t want to sleep on. He goes by the name of Hype and that is something that he definitely lives up to. From his honest lyrics and undeniable swag, he is proof that the flame for real Detroit based hip hop has not yet been extinguished.

Hype is no stranger to hard work, for the last two years he has been in the studio committing himself to his first project entitled “Overnight” What started out as a diss record in a friend’s studio has turned into the creation of an entire album filled with passion and real life experiences. Since the age of 15, he has been writing so it’s only natural that his passion for music would ignite an urge to put out an album. After observing the success of other artist, Hype decided that he was ready to share his talent and love for hip hop with the world.

Hype (named by one of his best friends after hearing his music) is more than a name for this up and coming Detroit artist, it perfectly describes his music. With songs like “I Lived It” and “Welcome, I’m Here,” there is no way that you can deny his ability to get you “HYPE.”

When asked how he describes his music, Hype says, “I really listen to artists’ lyrics to try and understand where they might be coming from. My music comes from my heart , if I haven’t lived or experienced it someone very close to me has. A lot of people who don’t know me describe my music as lyrical and passionate. Other people from Detroit feel that it is very personal.”

With a passion fueled by musical influences like Jay-Z, Eminem, 50 cent and 2pac, Hype is determined to build an empire for himself just as they have. The desire to be great instilled in him by his mother and grandmother growing up is evident in his will to succeed in every aspect of his life. His continued dedication and constant desire to learn more are exactly why Hype is destined to become a household name.

So what can we expect from Hype in the future? He says, “ I plan on working with a lot of other Detroit artists for my first full-scale mixtape, which I plan to drop by the summer.”

I’m looking forward to watching the development and success Hype will experience as he begins his career in the music industry. Speaking with Hype and listening to his music I know that hip hop is more than just a hobby for him. He has a genuine desire to put out good music and with his strong “can do” attitude, I have a feeling that Hype will definitely meet success at the front door. The music industry is full of sharks and negativity but something tells me that Hype has what it takes to make any naysayer think twice.
