A little earlier this year we introduced you to an up and coming MC from Compton called H.O.P.E. Wright. Firstly we gave you his single Compton’s Finest with Kendrick Lamar in January and then followed up in April [see; Dubcnn Want’s You To: “Believe In Hope Wright”] with the free download of his 13 track Believe In Hope Wright project which is truly not to be slept on.
Today we are back as H.O.P.E. just dropped off a new record, a collabo with New York crooner Jesse Boykins III, “I Got U” produced by J. Pounds.
H.O.P.E. also gave some back story on being introduced to Jesse. “We have a mutual friend that introduce me to him via the internet and gave us each other’s contact info. At the time they were really pushing for us to work together but we were unaware of each others work. I gave him a listen and I loved it off the bat. It’s funny because he said the same thing to me about my music. He enjoyed my heart felt lyrics as much as I enjoyed his romantic vibe on all his songs.”
About the track H.O.P.E. went on to explain; “I was still in Hawaii at the time and he was doing his thing out in London but I knew I had the record for him. Working with my buddy producer J. Pounds, I knew we could mesh what us two do best. Pound’s funk, Jesse’s innate way to make even that hook sound romantic along with how I was feeling at the time felt like the stars aligned just for those Three Minutes.”
