The melodic Bronx sensation is set to release his debut album, “The Bigger Artist,” on Atlantic Records later this month.
Bronx hopeful A Boogie wit da Hoodie is finally gearing up to release his debut album, The Bigger Artist. He revealed the album’s title, its cover artwork, and its release date of September 29 earlier tonight on social media.The artwork shows a drawing of A Boogie’s hand above a sheet of notebook paper. Strings descend from each of Boogie’s fingers onto the paper, where they dangle a group of lovelorn female stick figures.The album announcement comes after a series of plaques for the 21-year-old with a rare penchant for melodic flows. Most recently, he nabbed his first platinum certification for “Drowning,” a club-ready single that features his fellow XXL FreshmanKodak Black.A Boogie’s most recent project is his October EP, TBA, which stands for “The Bigger Artist.” It now seems that the EP, which includes the hit “Timeless,” was meant to be a warm-up for his debut album.

“My Shit,” released at the beginning of last year, was the track that kicked off A Boogie’s career. He would soon release his debut mixtape, Artist, which greatly boosted his stock in NYC and beyond. His rise coincided with that of Don Q, his close collaborator and fellow native of the Highbridge section of the Bronx. Both artists are members of Highbridge the Label. They would team up for a joint mixtape entitled Highbridge the Label: The Takeover, Vol. 1 in May 2016.
A Boogie dropped off “D.A.R.E.,” a collab with Young Dolph, last month, and also linked with PnB Rock for “X Factor.” The tracklist for The Bigger Artist is yet to surface, though we should get to hear a couple of new tracks between now and Sept. 29.
What are your expectations for A Boogie wit da Hoodie’s first official album? The Bigger Artist will be released via Atlantic and Highbridge the Label.

Early life
Artist Julius Dubose was born on December 6, 1995 in the Highbridge neighborhood of the Bronx in New York City.[5] Dubose was raised in Highbridge and began rapping at age twelve after listening to Kanye West and 50 Cent.[6][7] He attended Eagle Academy, where he expanded upon rapping during his freshman year, performing in cyphers at lunchtime by performing rhymes he had already written and stored in a large notebook he carried with him.[8] Remarking on his time in high school to XXL, he said 'I was regular, nobody really noticed me. I was the one in the back of the classroom, quiet.'[9]
On his unconventional stage name, DuBose told Newsweek, 'I used to watch Paid in Full every day when I was like 12, 13, and then I started rapping and everybody would call me A Boogie [a character from the film]. And then the hoodie came along because I was wearing hoodies all the time. [People] started saying A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie and it stuck. The only other rap name [I would have considered] is Artist, and that’s my real name (Artist J. Dubose). After a while, everybody will know me as Artist.'[10]
Growing up, Dubose frequently got into legal trouble, mainly for selling cannabis and narcotics,[8] after finding out when he was sixteen, Dubose's parents sent him to Florida as punishment. He graduated from high school at the Performance-based Preparatory Academy in Fort Pierce, Florida.[6]
Following his graduation from high school, Dubose began to focus on music while working jobs in different sectors including construction and pizza delivery.[11]
