Currently on a nationwide tour with fellow Mississippi rapper Big K.R.I.T., Lopez has emerged as one of rap's most promising acts. Following the June release of his critically acclaimed mixtape, The Hunger Game, Spin dubbed him one of the 5 Best New Artists for July 2012, proclaiming "This is regular guy rap powering up, skipping a few levels, and bounding straight into the mainstream."

Lopez's forthcoming debut album was named one of the Most Anticipated Projects of 2012 by The Source and XXL Magazine featured Lopez in its Show & Prove section for the July/August 2012 issue.
