Hookz Murdock has been navigating the NYC underground Hip-Hop scene for years, within both a group setting and as a solo artist. Formally of the group Sha’ir (Sha-ear), Hookz decided to branch out on his own in 2013 & hasn’t looked back since. Razor-sharp lyricism, a number of swift flows and a dash of singing are signature components of his artistry. Through a bevy of musical influences such as Jay Z, Nas, Wu-Tang Clan, Outkast, Maroon 5, Frank Ocean, J. Cole & Pink Floyd, Hookz has crafted a diverse sound that is dedicated to reaching the pallets of hardcore Hip-Hop fans, casual listeners of the genre & everyone else in between. Influence from pop culture, cinema & comic books are also very present in Hookz’ lyrics & concepts. 
 Coming up in both Red Hook, Brooklyn & Staten Island, Hookz is a product of different environments, but remains NYC-bred through and through. Graduating from Hofstra University in 2014 with a degree in Public Relations & Sociology, Hookz often uses his college experiences as a foundation for his story telling & his music. 
 With his solo debut, "The Adventures of..." out now, Hookz aims to strengthen his influence within the underground & expand his horizons beyond the city he loves so much. Representing his 2G Music Group collective, Hookz hopes to hone his craft & spread positive, creative vibes where ever he goes. Mr. Murdock is a true hero in the making.
