WHO IS MONEY HOLLYWOOD TURK!?
Hollywood Turk is an 80’s baby that was born in Marion, North Carolina in 1986. His parents then moved to Lake Lure nc when he was 5, when he turned 8 they then moved to Forest City, North Carolina. That’s where he was raised. Hollywood Turk moved to LA in 2010 to chase his dreams in the music industry and has been making profit ever since.
Hollywood Turk is buzzing for his unique Trap style, southern flow, and west coast demeanor. You can honestly hear the 90s-2000s R&b flow in there as well! His music is different from the wide variety of music that we’ve listened to from the early 90s to now, we can definitely vouch for him when we say he is a seasoned artist!
He has been making music for 6 years now, starting in 2012, he recorded “strapped riding solo” featuring his cousin k slay. The song came out on fire. That gave him the confidence to keep making music. He has been writing and rapping since he was 12 yrs old, always having the desire and urge to spit bars and make music. He got his first opportunity to perform when he was only 5 years old in a church convention.
2 Pac was his very first inspiration in music, he would sneak his dads cassette tapes to listen to his music. He was 12 and I knew all of the lyrics to “me against the world “ for every track. Growing up in a Christian home he would have to sneak to listen to rap. He understood the struggle Pac was going through in his music songs like, “it ain’t easy”, “shed so many tears”, and “scandalous”. He also told us that he would play “scandalous” every time a girl did him wrong.
2 Pac inspired him to be a strong black man, Songs like “keep ya head” up was always motivating to listen to for Hollywood Turk.
