Hailing from Havana, Florida, Hurricane Wisdom has established a certified name for himself.
Dedicated to cultivating music that aims to uplift and inspire, Wisdom crafts his music for survivors and for the downtrodden soldiers who are giving their all to overcome adversity.
Since the release of his breakout single: “Granny’s Baby” in 2020, he’s gained a great deal of momentum with his following projects such as Hurricane Season (2021), State Of Emergency (2022), and Category 5: The Biggest Hurricane (2023).
“Soundcloud was my first little wave,” Wisdom said. “Granny’s Baby, that’s what I had threw out on Soundcloud. That joint had like 200K like the first couple months. I was like “ok, this is good for me, a dude that only had 400 followers.”
At the tender age of 20, Wisdom has earned an exorbitant following by virtue of his talent and commitment to making music that resonates deeply. Over the last few years, he’s amassed 200K monthly listeners, 14M YouTube streams, 100K TikTok followers, 130K Instagram followers and more.
In addition to his increased visibility, his skills have enabled him to garner attention from some of the best and brightest in the music industry. Some of his most notable co-signs include A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Rod Wave, Sleepy Hollow, Chris Brown, Meek Mill, Future, LaRussell and more.
In 2024 so far, he’s already dropped myriad singles alongside accompanying videos with much more in the chamber. Some of the tracks he has dropped this year include “Don’t Cry, “Too Gone Freestyle” and “Who I Am.”
For the young newcomer, he prides himself on being genuine and being able to reflect that reality in his music.
“I think my authenticity is what sets me apart from other artists. A lot of rappers rap about n***s dying and don’t nobody be dying. A lot of rappers just be a persona. I’m from Havana, so it doesn’t get no realer than that.”
In conjunction with his already proven acumen as a rapper, Wisdom possesses the ability to sing.
“I was singing before I was rapping,” Wisdom said. “From church to school solos, that’s how I developed my ability.”
Growing up, the act of attending church was an intrinsic facet of upbringing and has had direct influence on a lot of his musical output.
“A lot of my samples are from church songs,” Wisdom said during an interview with The Knockturnal. “Like quotes and s**t will be from a church song. That’s why I feel like I can relate to Rod Wave so much because Rod does that s**t too. A lot of people don’t go to church, so they wouldn’t even notice. They think he’s just praying on the beat and s**t. No, he’s saying things that he’s heard in the church forreal.”
When it comes to other artists he admires, he cites Rod Wave as being one of his major influences.
“He is definitely one of my inspirations. Like because when I was listening to Rod, he was in high school too. I was doing the same s**t he was trying to do. He was going to school, rapping and s**t. I was tryna do the same s**t. Because if he can do it, f**k it I can do it too.”
When it’s all said and done, the rising Florida native has big dreams and even bigger objectives.
“I would love to be an artist forever but being realistic, things don’t go like that. There’s so much other stuff that n****s in this music industry can other than just rapping. I can start up a whole f**king label if you get enough bread. It’s just that simple. I really do want to start up a label though because there be so many hard a** rappers from different area codes that just need that little push. So that and dispensaries because we need weed and weed is definitely being legalized. “
