An East Oakland emcee reminiscent of a young Nas or Opio (of Hieroglyphics), WORDUP’s style is an even mix of poetic and street. Known on the street as a vicious freestyle emcee, he also has a natural flow with the pen and the pad. Em Dub of Thizzler On The Roof met up with WORDUP in Oakland and they talked about how he got his name, how he got into hip-hop, his process for making a song, and more.
