Artist Julius DuBose, known professionally as A Boogie wit da Hoodie, or simply A Boogie, is an American rapper, singer and songwriter. He signed to his own label, Highbridge the Label, and Atlantic Records. His stage name is derived from the character "Ace Boogie" from the 2002 film Paid in Full, and because he was wearing hoodies all the time, friends gave him the nickname "A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie".
Early life[]
Artist Julius DuBose was born on December 6, 1995 Highbridge, located in the central-west section of Bronx in New York City. DuBose was raised there and started rapping since he was 12 after listening to Kanye West and 50 Cent. He attended Eagle Academy, where he expanded upon rapping during his freshman year.
DuBose frequently got into legal trouble, mainly for selling cannabis and narcotics. After finding out what he was doing, DuBose's parents sent him to Florida as punishment. He graduated from high school at the Performance-based Preparatory Academy in Fort Pierce, Florida. In Florida, DuBose was kept under house arrest. During his imprisonment, he began to work on his artistry. He even built an amateur studio inside the flat he lived in.
