A Boogie wit da Hoodie

A' comes from Artist. And 'Boogie' from the Bronx. 'The Hoodie' part came from just having a hoodie on a lot. ”

Why do you think my name is Artist? I'm an artist. ”

I wasn't really comfortable going to college. ”

Hip-hop originated from the Bronx specifically; that means everything. I'm down the block from where hip-hop was born and raised, so I'm glad I am here and I'm able to represent New York the way I am. ”

Being self-made means putting yourself in position to help others put themselves in position to be successful. ”

My mom is proud of me. My pops proud of me. Everybody keeps motivating me. ”

The album 'Hoodie SZN' is about the result of where I come from: it gave me this black heart. And the black heart represents depression. ”

My first mixtape especially - that came from a heartbreak. ”

This is the most fun thing in the world to me, making music. Sitting down, I can make songs and not leave the booth, ever, and I love it. ”

Everybody should start listening to love songs. ”
