The Hoodies
Tickets: $25
Age 21+
Socially conscious rising rap duo, The Hoodies, consists of two brothers: Eben “E-Class” Nettles (age 26) and Umar “Young Poppa” Abrams (age 18). Known and loved for their unique chemistry and freestyle rapping abilities through their viral “In The Whip” series, the brothers were born and raised in upstate New York with familial ties—and musical influences—in all five boroughs in New York City.
Stylistically, The Hoodies are from a whole different era—the golden era to be exact. Raised on the likes of Tupac, Nas, B.I.G., Jadakiss, Jay-Z, 50 Cent and many more, these influences are present in The Hoodies’ nostalgic production and timeless delivery. What distinguishes this group, besides their brotherly bond, is their nostalgic sound, impeccable lyricism, and undeniably captivating energy. Unlike much of what we hear on the airwaves today, The Hoodies are all bars, all heart, all the time—no singing, no mumbling.
Since going massively viral with their “In The Whip” freestyle video seriesin 2016, The Hoodies have made appearances on shows like Ellen and Hot97 with FunkFlex, and have had hip-hop royalty like Jadakiss and Styles P join in on their “In The Whip” sessions. The Hoodies are the first clients to be signed to Asti Love, LLC’s production division. This up-and-coming duo shows no signs of slowing down as their famous bond grows tighter than ever and their musical prowess reaches audiences everywhere, one “In The Whip” video at a time.
