Bio
E-Hos Da General has aspirations just like every other artist. What
seperates him from the other entertainers dying for a shot at the industry
is his ethical and business-savvy mindset. “ I believe that just because
a rapper experienced a certain situation in their life, does not mean it is
worthy of a musical content.” Founder of Pickpocket Records, E-Hos is a
20 year old Hip-Hop artist and songwriter from the Cobbs Creek section of
West philadelphia. He writes about relevant life experiences and speaks on
harsh realities from the viewpoint of a positive young man stuck in the
hood. His lyrics encourage living life with a unique blend of topics such
as Chivalry, partying, education and family values. He believes that
partying and having fun are essential to the value of life. “Balancing
work and partying is needed, encouraging anything else is unreal.” This
young artist has a desire to increase the value of life to “the hood”.
To let them know that there is more to life than fast money and killing
each other.
E-Hos is currently in the studio working on his debut album P.E.A. The
acronym P.E.A stands for Power, Energy, and Aggression. “ Power, energy
and aggression are the three principles that makes up the philosophy that I
live by, I credit my survival in the streets of Philadelphia to those three
principles.” The album was written over the course of two years and has
been carefully crafted. Hos considers his album as a “rulebook” to
every person trying to live their life, be successful and protect their
loved ones by any means necessary. He is currently looking for industry
management, promotion and distribution. E-Hos can be found performing at
many different showcases around Philadelphia and the Greater Philadelphia
area. He currently can be found at the Roc Da Mic showcase presented by
True Hustla Records the last Wednesday of every month at 69th Street Lounge
(7049 Terminal Square, Upper Darby PA, 19082).
Hos is a natural born entertainer. He began rapping at the age of ten and
his passion for rap remains the same. He is currently recording group and
solo albums with the different artists of his group “Pickpocket
Records” respectively. Pickpocket Records consists of a group of friends
that Hos met during high school. “My loved ones who passed before me are
my “Guardian Angels” who drive me to continue.” During the summer of
2005, E-Hos’ big cousin Clifton O. Robinson Jr. (“Cliffy”) lost his
life in a tragic accident. The tragedy prompted E-Hos to begin the Power
Energy Aggression (P.E.A) movement in dedication not only to his big
cousin, but to all of his lost loved ones. Being chosen at random, Hos was
brutally jumped in June of 2005 by over 15 young men on 40th and Market
Streets in West Philadelphia. “The 40th Street Incident made me realize
how lucky I am to be alive. I was stomped, kicked, punched, but not
killed.”
Currently attending Saint Josephs University in Philadelphia, PA in his
junior year, Hos is a Business Management major. He plans on applying his
management and marketing skills into the marketing and promotion of his new
album and future ventures. Hos plans on incorporating his P.E.A movement
into the streets of Philadelphia, and many other impoverished streets all
over the country. His goal is to open a movie/video production company
entitled P.E.A Productions along with P.E.A. Publishing for aspiring
writers. His hopes is to extend his product and make it marketable
worldwide. “I want to tap into different markets such as other genres of
music, movie production, food marketing, community services, and
recreational activites to keep the youth from roaming the streets
aimlessly.” New music, updates and more contact information on E-Hos can
