After a decade-long hiatus from the spotlight, Hollywood Pompeii makes a commanding return with the release of Voodoo 4, the highly anticipated fourth installment in his celebrated Voodoo series. Dropping on Halloween, this project marks Hollywood’s first album in ten years — a bold and creative comeback that fuses his cinematic sound with gritty, authentic New York lyricism and spiritual undertones.
The album is led by the explosive single “Chango (Big Gold Chains)” featuring Kidd Kidd, a hard-hitting, old-school hip-hop anthem packed with thunderous drums, clever bars, and undeniable replay value. Voodoo 4 also features the late Fred the Godson, adding emotional depth and lyrical sharpness that honors the golden era of hip-hop while pushing it forward.
After spending 10 years helping to develop and elevate other artists’ careers behind the scenes, Hollywood Pompeii steps back into his rightful place — front and center — with a project that’s both nostalgic and fresh. Voodoo 4 stands as a testament to growth, resilience, and the timeless power of authentic artistry.
Voodoo 4 is available now on all major streaming platforms.

Hip-hop (also known as rap music or simply rap) is a genre of popular music that emerged in the early 1970s alongside an associated subculture in the African-American and Latino communities of New York City. The musical style is characterized by the synthesis of a wide range of techniques, but rapping is frequent enough that it has become a defining characteristic. Other key markers of the genre are the disc jockey (DJ), turntablism, scratching, beatboxing, and instrumental tracks. Cultural interchange has always been central to the hip-hop genre; it simultaneously borrows from its social environment while commenting on it.
The hip-hop genre and culture emerged from block parties in ethnic minority neighborhoods of New York City, particularly the Bronx. DJs began expanding the instrumental breaks of popular records when they noticed how excited it would make the crowds. The extended breaks provided a platform for break dancers and rappers. These breakbeats enabled the subsequent evolution of the hip-hop style. Many of the records used were disco due to its popularity at the time. This disco-inflected music was originally known as disco-rap and later described as “old-school hip-hop“.
