Who is Mars Hoffa?

"I tend to want things in life I can't grasp, Sky's the limit for who? My name's Mars! So I'm thinking out of this world, Somewhere Far..." - Mars Hoffa

Moustapha Sylla better known as Mars Hoffa, born in Newark, New Jersey with Senegalese roots (West Africa) is an artist whose realities and visage are portrayed within his music, lyrical cadence, and style. Eager and passionate about his music, Mars Hoffa unexpectedly delivers something "new" while experimenting and painting pictures over an entire Ep solely produced by Rashaad Taylor titled “Black Market.” Within this installment, Mars delivers when expressing his culture yet reflecting about his immediate surroundings while elegantly channeling upbringing in Dakar and the City of Newark, immediate issues and moral gems we should live by. Still paying homage to the many different sub genres of hip hop which have helped formed his own lane, Mars Hoffa has left his mark as an upcoming artist after receiving great feedback from a broad fan base and blogs. “LONGSHOREMEN: A Prelude to Black Market” was released during the first week of August after Hoffa decided to cater to his fans who awaited “Black Market.” Black Market was released on November 21, 2013.

Ike Slimster

The industry…honestly, I can be pretty naive about the world. But the thing people forget is, all that clout and shout about money clouds your mind, and may eventually consume you. But it’s whatever. They’ll do them, and I’ll just continue carrying out my duty as an artist. I’m just as much a man as they are, to be honest. I just want someone to wake up and keep going because they listened to my music and the words behind it. I want to give to the people what so many artists have given to me.
