Earlier this year we were honored and excited to help EyeASage launch her first solo mixtape, Married To the Hustle. Using some of the imagery from her mixtape, EyeASage printed up some t-shirts and they’re hot off the presses. They feature the beautiful photography of M.I.S.S. Amanda Lopez. You can get the tees here.
Missed out on the show? No problem: the footage is up on YouTube, with EyeASage rocking her all-womyn crew, DJ Cellskiii and Irie Eyez. Check out flicks of resident rocka, Hopie Spitshard, after the jump!

Today marks the release of Hopie Spitshard’s solo debut album The Diamond Dame. The Diamond Dame is 13 original tracks written by Hopie and produced by 6Fingers and features Del the Funky Homosapien, Bambu (Native Guns), Topkat, EyeASage, Kid Static and Smigg Dirtee! The album is great and the ladies and I have been listening to it on repeat at M.I.S.S. Crew HQ. Last week we had the chance to sit down with Hopie to talk about her influences, how she got her start and what it’s like to be a woman rapping in a male-dominated industry.
When did you start rapping and how did you realize you were an MC?
Well I first started rapping at age 11. I wrote my first rap, but it was really bad. Haha. But it all started at Great America - they used to have a karaoke booth where they would record you and give you a tape. So it was three of my friends, we go to Great America, and of course we do TLC “Waterfall” where I’m Left-eye. The rest of it sounded like crap, but when I came on I sounded exactly like her. So I was all, “Oh Shit, maybe I could be a rapper.” Ever since then, I’ve just been writing.

You may remember a while back M.I.S.S. Crew hosted our 2nd Birthday Party / Official “Married To The Hustle” mixtape release with EyeASage at Milk Bar in San Francisco. We just got a video clip that was filmed the night of our party - very exciting!! Take a look for an inside view of what the party was like and to hear M.I.S.S. EyeASage perform “Stewie.”
If you weren’t able to make it out to our birthday party, that’s cool, we’ve got all 3 dj sets and EyeASage’s live performance recorded and ready for your listening pleasure. The mixes are amazing and I definitely suggest downloading, with the ladies on deck you can’t go wrong. You can download the sets here:
Deeandroid, Celskiii, EyeASage, and DJ Zita.
You may remember a while back we posted on Lady Bird SF - a jewelry line based in San Francisco. The talented Nina Parks, the lady behind Lady Bird SF, is also a talented photographer. You’ve seen her work on Eyeasage’s Married to the Hustle Mixtape (you can download the mix on the sidebar), and she came to our birthday party to catch some of the action on film. Check out her pics . . .
