"Hailingfrom the same Highbridge neighborhood as the "Bodak Yellow" rapper, her Atlantic Records labelmate ABoogieWit Da Hoodie seems the most likely candidate to have next."
-FORBES
"Tobecome the sound of the city still feels like a larger-than-life goal. But for more than a decade, such consensus has been tough to come by - every attempt at a new New York style was greeted with skepticism and reluctance. ABoogiemay have cracked the code"
-NEW YORK TIMES
"His sound mixes melody and grit; transforming his most vulnerable moments into catchy sing-a-longs. Channeling his Uptown charisma and tapping into thedu joursound he adopted during a brief stint in Florida, the result is galvanizing New York's rap scene. On his debut albumThe Bigger Artist,he alternates between his rap persona, Boogie, and who he is underneath the fame, the man born Artist Dubose."
-PITCHFORK
"Artist a.k.a. ABoogieWit Da Hoodie knows he makes waves not only in the Tri-State area but all over the country whenever he drops a record."
-VIBE
"a solid hitmaker"
-HYPE BEAST
"For ABoogie, his voracious appetite for winning has proven to be an unstoppable formula. Within a year's time, the Bronx, New York,native has left an indelible impression on the hip-hop game."
-BILLBOARD
"Congratulations ABoogie: you're a New York rap star."
-HOT NEW HIP HOP
"Artist, represents the present and, maybe, the future of success"
-COMPLEX
"the young Bronx-laureate was destined for jewel-encrusted stardom"
-THE FADER
