Hurricane Wisdom Unites With reGGie for the Blistering “On Stream“

Home to Hits like “Giannis” and “Drugs Callin’,” the Original Perfect Storm Spent 3 Weeks on the Billboard 200 Earlier This Year

Critical Praise:

“Wisdom, from Havana (a tiny suburb of Tallahassee), fuses the tropical bounce of Florida street rap with the tenderness in the ballads of Southern and Midwestern truth-tellers. And the instrumental—flickering percussion and scattered, Broward County steel drums, merged with slow-mo, almost G-funk synths—is both melancholic and upbeat at the same time. It’s all rounded out by Wisdom’s raspy melodies, as he seamlessly toggles between no-frills aggression and lilts that hit like a sunshower.” – Pitchfork

“The Havana native broke down the regional barriers of Tallahassee with the twitchy “Giannis” in August, which picked up momentum like the Milwaukee Bucks superstar on a fast break to close out 2024. Hurricane narrates his gritty come-up but also delivers witty one-liners making light of his situation. He compares guns to the size of Giannis Antentokounmpo and jokes about not being good at math, but keeping problem-solvers around – if you catch his drift.” – Billboard

“Hurricane Wisdom Is On His Way To Becoming Rap’s Next Breakout Act” – UPROXX

“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.” – The Knockturnal

The Video:

Hurricane Wisdom‘s piercing tenor and infectious flow can turn any instrumental into a heartfelt banger. Teaming up with streamer/rapper reGGie to resurrect a world famous beat, Hurricane officially releases the hotly-anticipated single “On Stream.” Originally premiered live on reGGie’s popular stream, “On Stream” is a bite-sized flex fest, as the two rappers trade melodic bars: “Know that I’m from Florida, every song, I speed it up/Okay, know we on our grind, what Kendrick say? ‘It’s not enough,'” spits Hurricane. Showing off Hurricane’s acting skills, the action-packed video for “On Stream” shows what happens to those who cross the young rapper: they meet the business end of a bazooka.

“On Stream” is Hurricane Wisdom’s latest release on the road to Perfect Storm (Deluxe), following the releases of “Woosah” (which peaked at  #9 for YouTube trending and #40 on the YouTube Top Music Video chart), “Anyways,” and most recently, “Afraid.” With over 654k views in its first week of release, “Afraid” reached #12 on YouTube’s Trending Chart, while “Woosah” boasts over 4.3 million YouTube views and currently sits as the #56 Top Music Video in the United States on the platform.

Charting on the Billboard 200 for three weeks (#126 peak), Perfect Storm illustrates why Hurricane Wisdom is one of the most exciting artists in Florida’s bustling rap scene. From the opening track, Hurricane delivers addictive melodies and unapologetic lyrics with the kinetic urgency of an artist hellbent on achieving rap stardom. Perfect Storm is home to “Giannis (Remix),” a new version of Hurricane’s 2024 breakout hit with a guest verse from Polo G, and the buzzing single “Drugs Callin,” which has over 12 million views on YouTube. Earlier, Hurricane dropped videos for his high profile collabs, “On God” ft. Raq Baby (3.8 million views) and “Mind Gone” ft. Dthang (2.1 million views). Featuring additional guest spots from Sleepy Hallow, NoCap, Fredo Bang, Skilla Baby, and more, Perfect Storm is available on all platforms via Open Shift Distribution.

Born and raised in Havana, Florida, just 30 minutes from Tallahassee, Hurricane Wisdom earned a big fanbase (207k YouTube subscribers, 369k Instagram followers) with his emotionally honest lyrics and entrancing melodies. His 2024 project Eye Of The Storm featured “Giannis,” a kinetic anthem dedicated to the Milwaukee Bucks superstar, which became Hurricane Wisdom’s biggest hit to date, with over 15 million YouTube views and 6 million Spotify streams. “Giannis” earned rapturous reviews from critics, as well, including Pitchfork, who called the song “the feel-good Florida anthem of the moment” and listed it at #36 on their list of the 100 Best Songs of 2024.

With Hurricane Wisdom’s Perfect Storm (Deluxe) approaching the horizon, the artist continues to put the pressure on, making a Category 5 impact on the industry. Keep an eye out…a storm is coming.

The Background:

Fusing expressive church vocals with themes of optimism and perseverance, Hurricane Wisdom makes songs for survivors — anthems that are as spiritual as they are heartfelt. A down-home storyteller, the Florida native serves up motivational soundtracks for everymen with dreams of sunnier days; his music gives them the resolve to get there. It’s an artistic approach as much as it is a mission, and it’s earned him a growing legion of fans, cosigns from Rod Wave and NLE Choppa, and status as one of the most potent young voices in the South East. It’s a position he reinforces with “Hard Knock Life,” an engrossing rumination on the struggle of the hopeful underdogs. His blurry melodies spill out like teardrops even as his lyrics spell out danger. Through it all, he’s swirled themes of aspiration with tales of frayed friendships and other blockboy hazards while showcasing an inborn sincerity — and a heightened humanity — that connects soul to sound and listeners to love.

Since breaking out with “Granny’s Baby” in 2020, he’s cultivated a sizable buzz with projects like Hurricane Season (2021), State of Emergency (2022) and Category 5: The Biggest Hurricane (2023), with each new release earning more streams than the last. To date, he’s collaborated with the likes of NLE Choppa, SpottemGottem, NoCap, Luh Tyler and more as he’s proven his ability to infuse songs with empathy that soars above genres or classifications. Looking ahead, Hurricane wants to continue to be a voice for the people who don’t have one. The beats will change and his songwriting skills will grow, but it will all be rooted in a spirit of mutual understanding. “At the end of the day, I just try to make shit that people can relate to as humans,” he says. “We’re all human.”
