WNC WhopBezzy

Louisiana rapper WNC WhopBezzy’s uptempo and confrontational hip-hop has earned him notice from Baton Rouge elders like Boosie Badazz and younger stars like NBA YoungBoy. • Whop’s 2016 hit “You Know I Ain’t Scared” became a favorite in the Louisiana State University football locker room and spawned a remix featuring Boosie Badazz. It also led to a deal with Trill Entertainment, which released Whop’s 2016 debut mixtape, G.R.E.G. (Get Ready Everything Good), in partnership with the rapper’s own WNC Da Label. • He was a tattoo artist before his music career took off, and in 2020, he posted that he had just done his first tattoo since 2016. • Also in 2020, Whop released two projects, W.W.3 and Big Bezzy, as well as a smattering of singles including the Rick James–referencing “Very Freaky H**.”
