I’ve always been a sucker for home-state talent. But without knowing the artist Hoddy hails from one town over from me, I’d still have his track ‘Base Train’ on repeat. The Plainfield native has been a rising star in the East Coast music scene for a few years now, and continues to put out music that rises above his competitors. The first time I heard ‘Base Train’ was when I spun a performance for him in July, and I’ve been a fan ever since. Check the method.
