When HOPP makes music, he goes into a studio and bounces ideas off some of the other people he makes music with. “Most of the time when I record, I have an idea or topic I want to touch on so I elaborate more.”
His mixtape is inspired by where he is musically in the present (the now), and where his music will progress to in the future (the then).
HOPP likes to tell stories in his music about his own life and those of friends that he hopes will lead listeners to the hope and faith he has in Christ.
“I know that my music can inspire others and I know that my story can potentially help someone else’s story.”
He would also like to release Now & Then volumes two and three in the future. HOPP says that he plans to release a few singles before releasing volume two, and wants to give back to his supporters with this free music.
