Born to Rhyme and Rap, Thuggizzle is Making Waves with Singles Composed On the Spot


All of us are made for greatness, and the finest example of this comes from Phillip Hodge (Thuggizzle), whose latest single, ‘Get cha hustle up’ is now available for download. Hip-hop artist Thuggizzle is also famous for his freestyle, off-the-dome rapping, which he describes as a form of therapy and an art form.

Thuggizzle is making waves as the proud owner of the most prized possession in music – the ability to rap and sing on the spot, and carry it off in true style. He has also been regularly productive, with singles such as “I'm Jus Fuc*in With U Gurl”, “Playn These Games”, “Switch To That Course”, and “Off That”. He has over 23K followers on Twitter and his YouTube channel has over 200K views.

Some are born to do things on the go, without premeditation or training. San Antonio based Thuggizzle was born to compose lyrics and sing at the drop of a hat, but found his fame after going through a turbulent childhood spent mostly in foster care. His mother sold drugs and he found himself soon in foster care at the age of nine. More troubles followed suit and Thuggizzle was put on medications and almost about to hit the streets.

A simple advice changed his life. He was told to use music as an outlet and balance his lifestyle and anger. “I made up my mind to do something with my God-given life. It was very powerful,” recollects Phillip.

Fast forward to this day, and Thuggizzle has performed with none other than Snoop Dogg, who had featured on the first album that he owned, Dr. Dre’s ‘The Chronic’. In terms of technique, he is a freestyle purist, and never writes his lyrics down on paper. “I am able to run my mouth,’ he says.



Thuggizzle’s journey has filled him with more than just music. He has founded Thuggizzle Cares, a non-profit inspired by watching his aunt struggle with breast cancer. The organization today works is support for over 20 causes.

The parting advice from Thuggizzle for everyone who needs encouragement is: “Keep your head up, and don’t let nobody tell you that you can’t do something.”
