The HoodStarz are a prominent figure in the West Coast hip-hop scene, known for their gritty narratives and unapologetic portrayal of street life. Originating from the Bay Area, California, the duo—comprised of Band-Aide and Scoot Dogg—has been actively contributing to the Northern California rap landscape since their emergence in the early 2000s. Their music is characterized by hard-hitting beats, vivid lyricism, and an authentic connection to the realities of urban life.

With a string of releases that have cemented their reputation, The HoodStarz have shown a sustained dedication to their craft. Collaborations with influential figures like Snoop Dogg on "Smoking" and J. Stalin on "Ya B*tch" showcase their networking reach within the hip-hop community. They also made an impression with the well-received "Dj Drama Presents: 56 Months," highlighting their mainstream appeal. Their album "Controversy" and its Deluxe Edition, along with "The Tonite Show With The HoodStarz," further echo their narrative-driven approach to music, simultaneously keeping the essence of Bay Area rap alive while evolving with the genre's shifts and trends. As the architects of a sound that intertwines the tales of the streets with the throes of hustling, The HoodStarz remain relevant and respected voices within the hip-hop genre.
