DESCRIPTION:All Ages\n\n—\n\nWax and Hoppa had crossed paths musically be
 fore\, but everything changed when Hoppa joined as Wax’s tour DJ in 2024
 . On the road together\, the two quickly discovered a deep creative chemis
 try and a shared obsession with making music as often as possible.\n\nHopp
 a never travels without his portable studio\, and that habit turned the to
 ur into a rolling recording session. Songs took shape in hotel rooms\, gre
 en rooms\, and the back of moving vans on long stretches across the US and
  Canada. “People call it ‘work ethic\,'” says Wax\, “but when your
  work is fueled by fun and passion\, it is very easy to clock in.”\n\nTh
 e result is Highway Hotel — a road-born album that finds the perfect mid
 dle ground between Hoppa’s raw hip hop instincts and Wax’s melodic ran
 ge and eclectic lyricism. Hoppa credits the casual environments for keepin
 g things honest: “You are way less likely to overthink… you just do wh
 at feels right in the moment and roll with it.”\n\nWith a stacked guest 
 list featuring Little Stranger\, G Love\, K.A.A.N.\, Jarren Benton\, Watsk
 y\, Jarv\, Demrick\, ¡Mayday!\, Krysta Youngs\, Damn Skippy\, Kail Proble
 ms\, Marley B\, 1Ton\, SUMPP\, and Wax’s twin brother Herbal T\, this is
  an album you will gladly bump over and over again.\n\nABOUT WAX\n\nWax is
  a rapper/singer/songwriter who has been a niche underground favorite for 
 two decades. He was signed to Def Jam Records\, has a Number One Billboard
  hit song in several countries in Europe\, and has a dozen or so albums un
 der his belt.\n\nABOUT DJ HOPPA\n\nDJ Hoppa is a veteran hip hop producer 
 who has racked up hundreds of millions of streams on his various projects.
  He constantly releases dope music through his own label Broken Complex\, 
 and has produced songs for many legendary hip hop artists.
