Like I’ve said numerous times in the past, one of the worst things about running one of the best hip hop sites on the internet is being bombarded with 980215 rappers trying to get on. I honestly don’t like shitting on folks dreams, but some people just catch me at bad times. Another thing I hate is when I’ll get 10 submissions from the same artist within a 24 hour period (some have even done it in an hour). Hollywood FLOSS has done a little bit of both, but he’s figured a way to do it correctly. He’s kept his distance when needed but never stopped trying to “get on”. Something I’ve gotta respect. Finally when I had some free time to check his shit out, I was impressed. And here we are now (with a post I actually started back at the top of the year but haven’t gotten around to finishing it until now haha).
Ladies and gentlemen… meet Hollywood FLOSS. An emcee/producer out of Houston, Texas whose influences range from Andre 3000 to Lupe Fiasco to N.E.R.D. to Green Day. Check below for a couple cuts off his upcoming mixtape, The Xperiment v.2. Then hit the jump for artwork and download links to three of his previous projects.

The foundation mixtape/album. I recorded it with the mindframe that I have to start a buzz somewhere, so let me make a diverse project… All songs were produced by me except Cougars, which was by Chris Rockaway who did the infamous Michael Michael track by Ron Artest… Art or Fiscal Intelligence is asking do you do it for the love or money? It is upbeat but still has that soul everyone loves in hiphop.

A play off of Entourage’s character Ari Gold and it was basically a fun project, me using the traits of the character to create songs… all tracks produced by Sans Bayonet.

A project I did over Thanksgiving 2009 break. It was recorded, produced and written by me in 3 days time and I sent all the songs/freestyles to two separate blogs and it was their job to A&R the project from tracklistings and names.

Since he’s from Texas, I’ll check it out.
Why the F did it take so long, this dude is all over Houston, com’on Boys. Glad you put it on!!! I love this dudes live shows!!!
he’s ok, but his beat selection is fire
that art & fiscal project is dope, but…
there’s a white producer/MC from austin texas named ARSON OPTICS. that boy shits on hollywood floss.
word floss is ill
Floss is my man and one of the hardest working folks out there. Cool dude and funny as hell too!
He’s nice
Props to the homie Floss #NT
Hollywoooooooooooooooood! Its about god damn time. Each of his projects are unique and refreshing. Houston has so much talent, rob jay and floss are just the beginning for 2dopeboyZ. -THEM713 all day. Shoutout to hasHBrown, john dew, dustin prestige, kidd the great, hip-phonix and HOLLYWOOD FLOSS!
FLOSS! Get some homie!
Proper Houston representer.
Yessir!!! HF! My boy is grindin’. He did some great features for our site so Im glad to finally see him here.
Im feeling him! the kid is nice
Look Man if you are not up on Hollywood Floss then you are not up on Houston. This dude is single handedly one of the best performers that I have seen in a long time. Not to mention his past three projects have gotten crazy mentions, Have you heard of the Houston Press? Get your game up because he is breaking ankles like old Iverson on Jordan. If you have not heard of him I don’t know what rock you have been living under, but catch up, all 3 of these projects are in rotation in my Deck at least once a week and he has three projects so that 3 out of 7 days a week I get my floss on. Houston is Here 2 Stay. Either get on, or get off either way “GET OUT THE WAY, FLOSS ON THAT PAVE”
Great to see FLOSS getting more exposure.
Floss has a work ethic like very few in the game…There is no doubt in my mind that he will reach the top through his creative music and hard work…
Chase of Rockaway Productions
This guy is good. That “I’m Back” song is amazing!
what is the best mixtape out of the 3?
^ they are all hood in there own way but XP and art or fiscal are the best
^ they are all good in there own way but XP and art or fiscal are the best

I keep telling people about HollyWood FLOSS. He’s not your typical H-Town artist. He’s extremely creative, his metaphors are magical and his beats are addictive! Get your hands on his mixtapes and you’ll find your finger on the repeat button!
Hollywood Floss def. deserves the shine he’s gettin. He’s a real good rapper and he understands what real hip hop is an delivers it with every release. REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO HIS NEW ALBUM!!!!

HollywoodFLOSS…the new wave of Houston hip hop has arrived!! His mix tapes do no justice to his live performances …perfect blend of hip rock and soul!! An unexpected delightful sound from the south…I support him bcz he’s cool but more than that I support good music!! Scaned and quel approved! “All of my love”
luv it mayne!
This nigga is the truth. Keep supportin Hollywood Floss!
If you havent already heard FLOSS is def one to add to ya playlist***Luv the vision on Xperiment & cant stop listening to Art or Fiscal! Will always be a fan of real music & FLOSS def wont be a disappointment if you are too**
