HOBO The 3rd Eye Rida™

Awareness before reaction.

HOBO the 3rd Eye Rida™ is a West Coast G-Funk artist from Long Beach, California. His music comes from real-life experience—built on discipline, emotional control, and growth.
After real setbacks, he shifted from reacting to life to leading himself through it. That mindset now drives everything he creates.
