Hopsin has released two studio albums along with a mixtape; the debut album Gazing At The Moonlight through Ruthless Records, and Raw and Haywire (featuring SwizZz) through Funk Volume.
His second album Raw was released as a digital download on iTunes and as physical CD on his label's website on November 19, 2010. On October 8, 2010, Hopsin released a music video for "Sag My Pants" on YouTube mocking Lil Wayne, Drake, Soulja Boy, Lupe Fiasco, and Rick Ross.

Hopsin would later collaborate with Tech N9ne once again for the Insane Clown Posse's "Skreem!". Knock Madness, Hopsin's upcoming album is due for a 2013 release.
In 2012 Hopsin was on the cover of XXL as part of their annual "Top 10 Freshmen list" along with fellow rappers French Montana, Machine Gun Kelly, Danny Brown, Roscoe Dash, and Kid Ink.
Hopsin announced that he will be doing several tours around the USA and the UK later on in 2012 following the release of his new album Knock Madness.
