Jerry Heller, the former manager of N.W.A., first signed Hopsin to his Ruthless Records label in 2009. Heller recognized Hopsin's raw talent and unique lyrical style, which blended elements of hip-hop, rap, and spoken word. Under Heller's guidance, Hopsin released his debut album, "Gazing at the Moonlight," in 2010, which showcased his introspective lyrics and technical rapping ability.
