Hobo Johnson and The Lovemakers

Frank Lopes Jr. (born December 22, 1994), best known as Hobo Johnson, is an American vocalist and frontman of the band Hobo Johnson & The Lovemakers, blending emo rap, spoken word, and raw hip hop. After gaining viral fame in 2018 with the Tiny Desk video for “Peach Scone,” the band released their major label debut, The Rise of Hobo Johnson, which reached No. 11 on Billboard’s Heatseekers chart. They followed up in 2019 with The Fall of Hobo Johnson, a confessional album exploring jealousy, heartbreak, and emotional vulnerability. After a creative hiatus in 2021–22 and a brief breakup of the LoveMakers, Lopes returned in 2024 with the double single “Dad’s Bed” / “Metaverse”, signaling a stylistic pivot back toward emotionally charged, band-driven songs. The project, often referred to as Hobo Johnson Drinks!, has since been officially released as a full album in 2025, marking his latest exploration of candid lyricism and spiky blend of rap, folk, and spoken word. His newest single “You & Me” is out now on all streaming platforms.
