In regards to the name, you can believe that the Hunting Park section of Philadelphia is not a pleasant place to live. It..s a dangerous neighborhood filled with drugs, violence, and poverty that drains the morale of virtually everyone who lives there. Yet, and still, these guys have never thought twice about reppin.. the one place they call home. As two of the four members of the rap group Lyrical Assassins, Solomon ..Joe Stassi.. Brown and Cherone ..Teflon.. Haile, formulate this up-and-coming rap duo who refer to themselves as Hollyhood. You may be wondering about the meaning behind the name Hollyhood, and what better way to get the answer then from the horse..s mouth? ..That's crazy. It's like, we bringing Hollywood to the ..hood.., says 20-year-old Tay Teflon. ..

We giving the people in the ..hood something that they never heard before. Something that they used to hearing in mainstream, you know what I..m saying? ..You know, this is a movement.., says 24-year-old Jo Stassi. ..We tryna keep this thing together, keep it tight, ..cuz nowadays everybody ain't doing it right. So, we feel as though we got something special, and we wanna bring it to the ..hood. You know, it's Hollyhood... Stass and Teffy have been working at their craft for half a decade, and the pairs strength of mind will be key to their success. As their reputation for spitting flames grew, the two took their sought after talents, and created their self-entitled album. That attention, along with recognition from the Lyrical Assassins.. album- ..We Are The Champions.., the Lyrical Assassins.. first DVD-..A.T.M. Assassins The Movement Presents HP'S Finest: The Fallen Soldier Edition.. and Joe Stassi.. first solo mix-tape-..The Best Of Joe Stassi.., only deepened the duo's determination to stick it out. The duo hones their talent on experiencing life through the mean streets of 8th and Butler. They're young, they're hard, and they're hungry. With that mixture of talent and hustle, it's only a matter of time before these two Assassins and their non-stop bangers, will be heard from speakers worldwide.
