Rapper Boogiefrmda8 is all about authenticity and being real to yourself. His music is filling music fans with a sense of euphoria through his unapologetic sound, turnt raps, solid brand and blunt persona.
As a person, Boogie has dropped out of university, forewent his arduous 9-5, overcome the dangers of street-life, and has dedicated his life to his craft and morphing a business out of it.
Artistically, you can find him spitting on ranging BPM beats, lacing records with a strong punch, providing us with party anthems & gym-tailored records, sticky quotables and more as far as his musical pedigree can allow, but the sky is the limit for the Compton CA rapper Boogiefrmda8 who carries himself with a razor sharp mind and readiness to seize the industry at any given moment.
Brought up in the treacherous neighborhood of Compton, California – Boogie moves cognizant of his surroundings, but pledges his time and talent to music that he utilizes as a trade to earn a living.
“Yes, I grew up in Bompton on 148TH AND LONESS. Young Boogie was around five when my dad used to have me on the block with him. At one point I was the lookout. It’s brazy because he didn’t tell me to lookout, I did that shit on my own. I was paying attention to my dad and the OG homies lifestyle. Off back I learned who were the OPPS and that include the police. I rap about what I seen and what I been through” he tells us.
Using his experiences as fuel for his raps and music, Boogie has harnessed a mighty conviction in his tone that spells certainty, individuality and champion-like confidence in what he is doing as an artist, easily imposing a belief that he is a one of one kind of character and rapper in a largely congregated music industry today, thanks to social media – that allows for artists to be cloned easily. But he began his music journey early on, with some of his beginner jaunts hard to find on the net, or lost in some hard-drive somewhere.
“My first track was Free my pops, I collaborated with my sister off that” he recalls. The track is however, untraceable.
“My first semester in college. I’m like, this shit ain’t for me. I was around eight when I discovered my talent to rap. Me and my big cousin used to freestyle. Years later, after high school I began to freestyle for fun. I gained attention from many by taking over other artist beats. I liked the hype and from there I kept going” he shares of how he started his music pursuits professionally.
Fast forward, the realist musician would end up releasing his official 2018 debut single “Tuff Talk” that has garnered way over 250k streams across multiple DSP’s and the Compton rapper Boogiefrmda8 has never looked back.
He describes his sound as “Raw. Street. Gutter. Real” in a nutshell, of course.

Today, the ace has been able to refine his sound rooted in the West Coast bop and bounce sound that is picking up rapidly and having fans swarm around him, as he capitalizes off being real – as he shared in his 2019 record “No Kap” off his Home Of The Reds EP.

“I wasn’t inspired by anyone. I knew my calling” he says of his inspiration.
“I visualized my ending, and my end result is what keep me motivated. If that make sense?” he goes on.
Last year alone, he dropped 15 music videos, and featured on two songs with one of them “Pullin Skitz” eclipsing the 100,000 view mark.
“I’m intrigued with expressing myself with word. And like I mentioned before, I want that ending that I visualized so I will go hard until I get it!” he shares on why he loves music.
As he loads up his Itsboogiefrmda8 mixtape set for mid 2022, which he exclusively announced to Remixd Mag, he urges fans to take pride in being counted out and charge it to the game, ultimately.
“Get money, follow your dreams. It’s perfectly OK to be the underdog. You ain’t gotta have a bunch of cheerleaders following you around. As long as you stay true to yourself, your craft, and stay grinding everything else will line up as it is supposed to be. Be your own man and if a nigga can’t accept that you don’t wanna be around their fake ass no way.”
