2hollis

Hollis Parker Frazier-Herndon (born January 5, 2004), known professionally as 2hollis, is an American rapper, singer, and producer. Born January 5, 2004, in Chicago, Frazier-Herndon's father is musician John Herndon (also known as A Grape Dope), drummer of the band Tortoise, and his mother is Kathryn Frazier, founder of PR firm Biz 3 and co-founder of record label Owsla. He lived in Chicago until he was ten years old, at which point his family moved to Los Angeles. His childhood home burnt down during the January 2025 Southern California wildfires. Frazier-Herndon began producing music in high school, under the alias "Drippysoup" in 2018. In 2020, he changed his stage name to 2hollis. After high school, his parents encouraged him to attend music school. He briefly moved to Chicago before enrolling in Evergreen State College in Washington, where he dropped out after less than a month. During this period, Hollis wrote music in a medieval fantasy style, creating the group Open Swords of Ten (commonly abbreviated to OSX). His first songs were described as "medieval trap" by 032c. He first gained attention for his 2022 album White Tiger. His 2023 song "Poster Boy" was included as part of EA Sports FC 24's soundtrack. He gained further popularity in 2024, after the release of singles such as "crush" and "jeans" and the subsequent release of his third studio album, Boy. Frazier-Herndon performed as the opening act for Ken Carson's 2024 The Chaos Tour. He embarked on his North American Leg One tour in 2024 and his Leg Two tour in 2025. In 2025, he released his album Star, which coincided with a tour that began later in the year. Frazier-Herndon's 2025 single "Afraid", featuring Nate Sib, made The New York Times' Best Songs of 2025 list. Reviewer Jon Caramanica called it a "relentlessly preppy hyperelectropop bomb." In June 2026, a notable controversy occurred when Frazier-Herndon stated that he wanted to have sexual intercourse with Hatsune Miku, he later retracted his statement after realizing she was designed to be 16.
