We had the good fortune of connecting with Hoodrich Hardaway and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Hoodrich, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
I chose to pursue music because I was always good at it. I can draw, paint and Ect. So music was more like painting pictures with words to me. The activities and environments in Memphis is what influenced my musical passion.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I make that southern trap , Crunk, Laid back, Bossed Up, Luxury, Memphis street music. What sets me apart from others is that I’m special, I’m one of a kind, My cockiness comes from my confidence. All my new upcoming projects are straight fire. I should be on a major label soon for sure. I’m a trendsetter. Peep the play don’t miss the plot. I got Hot 🔥 from my first solo song ‘Whole Lottaa” which is on YouTube and caught the attention of CEO 32 of 32Ent which discovered Oj the Juiceman. I kept working and developing my own style. It wasn’t easy. Surviving the dangerous streets of Memphis and making music at the same moment. But I have a great team around me that always pushing me and motivating me to elevate to the next plateau. Focus on your craft, do right amongst others as our selves, keep a positive interest and outlook even when things seem challenging. ExtraBandz Ent, Feathers and Ect, And 32Ent is the Biggest thing in my Journey. We are very intelligent business minded individuals. We incorporate our connection to the streets. Into a more positive response with our music entertainment. I’m also in partnership with Feathers and Ect in a Non profit organization called H.U.H. Humans Uplifting Humans.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
My Go to spot whenever I’m in Memphis is definitely the Iconic Beale Street. Drinks from Wet Willies and everything to eat is delicious. I like hanging outside with my homies in different parts of the city. When I get hungry I got go to Crumpys, Trap Fusion, Dixie Queen, A and R BBQ, or Jimmy wings Gang. Memphis we have a lot of hot artists so it’s always something to do within the city.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to Keep it Authentic and Give a Shout-out to My Mentor CEO 32 of 32Ent. He’s a Pivot in my Journey and continues to be a good example of leadership. I would like to Thank Stevie J of love and Hip Hop for great support.
