A product of the hopeless rust belt streets of Northwestern Ohio, Hodgie (formerly known as Hodgie Street) is the epitome of someone who’s conquered a hard knock life. Born in Lima to a single parent household, he quickly learned how to survive in the streets. The difficult relationships his mother encountered during his childhood took a toll on him however, and it made hustling to support his family all but inevitable.

After putting out music and gaining a small buzz in Lima, Hodgie moved to Columbus in hopes of attaining a degree at Ohio State and also, an opportunity to link with artists around the city.
Hodgie released his debut album American Dreamin’ in 2015, followed by a steady stream of music.

Fast forward to 2020, with the pandemic and temperatures in the world boiling over George Floyd’s murder, Hodgie dropped one of his best projects to date. “Black AF” a 4 song EP discussing the trials and tribulations of being black in America. One of the most underrated projects of that time period. The future is bright for the Ohio native.

Hodgie has recently relocated to Atlanta, GA and has dropped a new freestyle project series that has taken off, a massing thousands of views, along with a set of Albums “Midnight Sunshine” and “Darkest Before Dawn”. Hodgie is continuing to grow his fan base and the possibilities are endless for this rising star.
