Hopsin addressed his rift with Damien Ritter throughout his recently released, self-produced track, “ILL Mind of Hopsin 8,” which he dropped off this past Tuesday (March 8).
“It feels great, great feeling,” Hopsin said about releasing the track in an exclusive interview with HipHopDX. “Been waiting to get it off my chest for two months now. I didn’t want to resort to that, but the way things are going with the whole Funk Volume situation, it’s kinda rubbing me the wrong way, so I had to be vocal about it. That’s since I was a child, that’s been my way of venting so I just had to do what I do best and be vocal.”
