Who is Thuggizzle?

Phillip Hodge was born with the ability to compose spontaneous poetry. The lyricist has developed a career in music as the rapper Thuggizzle. Despite the wealth of talent Hodge was born with, the home life of his childhood was one of instability and neglect. His mother sold drugs, and he and his three sisters grew up in and out of foster care. They were made wards of the state at a young age. He said his acting out led to him being placed on a number of medications. After repeatedly getting in trouble, a staff member at the Baptist Children's Home where he was staying sat Hodge down and set his head on straight. That conversation planted a seed in Hodge’s head about channeling his stress and trauma into music.

How it all started:

Thuggizzle Cares Inc. was founded by Phillip and represents many causes. After watching an aunt fight breast cancer, Hodge started the organization Thuggizzle Cares to provide support to those going through breast cancer treatment. He said every day he is out selling music, he donates a portion of profits to Thuggizzle Cares. “This is coming from the heart,” he said. “I let God decide who we go out there to help. At the end of the day, I'm no different than the next man, except I have God in my life.” Hodge also founded Reunited by Faith , which helps parents whose children have been removed from their custody get the services they need to work toward reunification with their children.
