Hopsin has announced that his Pound Syndrome album is slated for a July 24 release date, according to a press release.
The Funk Volume rapper-producer dropped his “Crown Me” straight-to-video single in conjunction with the announcement today (June 1).
The 2012 XXL Freshman Class nominee claimed in December that he was quitting rap and moving to Australia. He recently debunked that claim, writing it off as a prank.

I thought this fool retired and went to Australia? Must have ran out of loot.
That was just a joke
Did you not read it, it said it was a prank
Hopsin gets way too much hate. Dude is ill as shit.
Good joke lol
Bout to be as wack as the album title
Great mc but beat choice and production has destroyed the mans career
You should get your ears checked. And he’s still making music so how exactly has his career been destroyed?
This is true, he has that horrorcore problem where he has these gimmicky sounding beats that sound like they’re trying to be pop but sound like an underground impersonation of mainstream. He’s never gotten a good sound to go behind his lyrics.
@ Nick Newman
Just because you’re still making music doesn’t mean you still have a career it just means (in Hopsin’s case) that he’s desperately trying to hold on and make it a career. He reminds me of Chino XL and Canibus, brilliant mcs but horrid beats and production – just saying :/
Also his corny raps, shitty sense of humor, attention-seeking “disses,”corny image (emo contacts? really?), and pretty much everything else about him.
