A Boogie Wit a Hoodie Professional Life
The very first album he released as in his debut album was The Bigger Artist in 2017. He has done many mixed tapes, studio albums and singles too. His album ‘Drowning’ placed at 38 on Billboard top 100. When A Boogie was just 19 years old, he released his debut song, “Temporary,” but it had some problems because it lacked some of the fundamental components of a good song.
