As you’ve probably noticed, Funk Volume has been going through some problems lately and Hopsin took to the web today to let everyone know that FV is no more. We are sad to see it go but we will still get you all their music individually. They are still on good terms and we will get the full story soon. For now, hit the jump to check out exactly what Hopsin had to say. Read more...
Funk Volume may seem like a cocky bunch after recently issuing a $500,000 rap battle challenge to any and all comers, but during a recent stop by HNHH offices, the FV triad of Hopsin, Dizzy Wright, & Jarren Benton revealed itself to be a band of merry jokesters who get along famously with one another, in large part due to their musical bond. “Hop is the weird won… Jarren is our crazy friend,” said Wright. “I’m the stoner of the crew.”
Last week, Hopsin, Jarren Benton, and Dizzy Wright went on Shade 45 and called out any and every label to a 3-on-3 battle for $500k. The following day, Horseshoe Gang answered the call and now, the Funk Volume crew have issued their own response with “Free Meal.” Press play and check out what is said. Hopefully more of this is on the way!
