Hopiho

At 15, Hopiho, a native of Cameroon, was already stringing together verses and mimicking favorites like Snoop Dogg, Bone Thugs and 2pac. 

After completing high school, Hopiho flew to Canada to pursue his undergraduate studies at the University of Ottawa.  It was there that he would meet the future members of the group 8e Art: Marco Brown, Oriki and Hermes. A revolutionary and eclectic rap group, 8e Art would go on to have resounding success in the Ottawa region.  

The Cameroonian rapper has distinguished himself as one of the most productive and respectable artists of his region. His subtle punchlines are often integrated with Zouk, Coupé Décalé and R&B to create an Afro Fusion Hip Hop that anyone can relate to. Although his message is most often in French, he is bridging the cultural gap with his melodies and bass that one can only bump to.
