Ever since Jon Hope burst on the local scene in 2005, I've been following his career closely and have witnessed his growth as an artist and now here we are 4 years later and its evident that he's definitely in a position to finally make some major moves. Get it straight. Dude isn't one of these overnight blog sensations that are suddenly being hailed as the next big thing without ever putting in the proper work to develop their skills and truly earn the attention that comes from a cosign these days. Dude's pen game has just gotten better with time and combine that with his sick delivery and mic presence and we've got a serious problem on our hands. Hope is now preparing to drop his first official EP "Somekind Of Wonderful" in March, and is currently featured in the "Show & Prove" section of this month's issue of XXL.
If you are still sleeping on dude, I'ma give you one last chance before he really starts to make some noise when that EP drops next month. Below you can check out the first three leaks from the project, including the first single "Better" featuring Taktix, as well as a link to his latest Statik Selektah hosted tape "The Audacity".
