A Boogie Wit da Hoodie
Artist Julius Dubose (born on December 6, 1995), known professionally as A Boogie wit da Hoodie or simply A Boogie, is an American rapper. He signed with Atlantic Records to release his debut studio album, The Bigger Artist (2017). Led by the Billboard Hot 100-top 20 single "Drowning" (featuring Kodak Black), the album was met with critical praise and peaked at number four on the Billboard 200.
His second album, Hoodie SZN (2018), peaked atop the Billboard 200, while his third, Artist 2.0 (2020) peaked at number two; the albums were met with divided critical reception and supported by his second and third top 20 singles, "Look Back at It" and "Numbers" (featuring Roddy Ricch, Gunna and London on da Track), respectively. At the BET Awards 2018, Dubose was nominated for Best New Artist. His fourth album, Me vs. Myself (2022), peaked at number six on the Billboard 200 and received positive reviews. His fifth album, Better Off Alone received continued praise despite commercial failure.
Dubose's stage name is derived from the character "Ace Boogie" from the 2002 film Paid in Full, and because he frequently wore hoodies, friends gave him the nickname "A Boogie wit da Hoodie". Dubose starred in his documentary film The Rise of Artist Dubose, released on Facebook Watch on November 15, 2024.
