WE ARE THE HOODIES
THE HOODIES, A DYNAMIC RAP DUO FROM NEW YORK, CONSIST OF BROTHERS EBEN "E-CLASS" NETTLES AND UMAR "YOUNG POPPA" ABRAMS. THEY GAINED WIDESPREAD POPULARITY THROUGH THEIR VIRAL "IN THE WHIP" SERIES, WHERE THEY SHOWCASED IMPRESSIVE FREESTYLE SKILLS AND UNDENIABLE CHEMISTRY. RAISED IN A HOUSEHOLD RICH WITH HIP-HOP INFLUENCES, THE HOODIES WERE INSPIRED BY GOLDEN-ERA ICONS LIKE TUPAC, NAS, NOTORIOUS B.I.G., JADAKISS, JAY-Z, AND 50 CENT. THIS INFLUENCE SHINES THROUGH IN THEIR SOUND, BRINGING A NOSTALGIC FEEL AND TIMELESS DELIVERY THAT SET THEM APART FROM TODAY'S TRENDS OF MELODIC HOOKS AND MUMBLE RAP.
WITH A UNIQUE BOND ROOTED IN BROTHERHOOD, THEIR MUSIC FOCUSES ON SHARP LYRICISM AND HEARTFELT MESSAGES, FAVORING SKILL AND AUTHENTICITY OVER POPULAR STYLES. SINCE THEIR BREAKOUT WITH THE 2016 "IN THE WHIP" VIDEO, THE HOODIES HAVE LANDED ON MAJOR PLATFORMS, INCLUDING THE ELLEN SHOW AND HOT 97 WITH FUNK FLEX, WHERE THEIR RAW TALENT CAPTIVATED AUDIENCES.
THE HOODIES BRING A REFRESHING, GENUINE APPROACH TO TODAY'S HIP-HOP, BALANCING OLD-SCHOOL INFLUENCES WITH NEW-SCHOOL AMBITION, AND THEIR DEDICATION TO THE ART FORM RESONATES WITH FANS WHO APPRECIATE LYRICAL DEPTH AND AUTHENTICITY.
