2hollis

Hollis Frazier-Herndon, known professionally as 2hollis, is a 21-year-old artist who has quickly carved out a unique place in the music industry. Born on January 5, 2004, in Chicago, Illinois, he moved to Los Angeles at age 10. Raised in a musically rich environment, Hollis was deeply influenced by his father, John Herndon, a renowned producer and drummer with the post-rock band Tortoise. This early exposure to diverse sounds helped shape 2hollis’s eclectic style, which blends genres in ways few others can replicate.

2hollis’s music journey began under the name Drippysoup in 2018, where he fused glitchcore and Chicago drill. However, during the pandemic, he reinvented his artistic identity, introducing a “knightcore” aesthetic—a blend of bardcore, trap, and experimental elements. This bold move quickly earned him a loyal fanbase within underground rap circles.

His debut album, White Tiger (2022), marked his emergence as a genre-blending producer, followed by 2 (2023) and boy (2024), which solidified his experimental sound. Tracks like “jeans” and “crush” exemplified his ability to merge hyperpop, EDM, and rap seamlessly. Hollis’s live performances have become legendary for their intensity, transforming even skeptical crowds into ardent fans, especially during his stint opening for Ken Carson in 2024.

In 2025, 2hollis released Star, his major-label debut with Interscope Records. The album explores themes of fame, identity, and emotional conflict while continuing his genre-defying journey. Beyond his musical prowess, Hollis is also known for his creative direction, designing music videos and artwork, reflecting his commitment to artistic integrity. His career trajectory demonstrates his innovative spirit and relentless drive to push boundaries, making him a defining figure in contemporary music.
