Hurricane Wisdom Explores the Ups and Downs of Love with “Over Now” Video Single

In 2025 Hurricane Wisdom Released Two Billboard 200-Charting Projects, Including

Perfect Storm: Sorry 4 The Rain, Home to the Hits “Drugs Callin (Remix)” ft. Lil Baby and “On Stream” ft. ReGGie

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 Announcement:

Hurricane Wisdom’s infectious melodies and down-to-earth realism have established him as one of the South’s most exciting young rappers. Recently named one of Spotify’s 2026 Artists to Watch, North Florida artist returns with his first new song of 2026, sharing his lilting ballad “Over Now“ and its music video. Rhyming over chirruping vocal samples and thudding percussion, Hurricane reflects on the difficulties of being a rap star in love, confessing that despite his loneliness, he’s too paranoid to let anyone get too close to him. In the video, Hurricane processes the end of a relationship, thumbing through roses and reminiscing on happier times, as director Cotto inserts symbols of his emotional wreckage, including burning Teddy Bears, into the picture.

“Over Now” is Hurricane’s first new single of 2026, following on the heels of December’s  “My Life,” a highlight from his new project The Live Sessions Vol. 1. A triumphant statement of purpose for the new year, first performed during On The Radar’s 2nd All-Star Cypher, “My Life” peaked at #9 on YouTube’s Trending Chart for Music, racking up over 1.6 million views. “My Life” can be found on The Live Sessions Vol. 1, a collection of rap songs featuring compelling live instrumentation.

The Live Sessions Vol. 1 concluded an astonishing 2025 for the 24-year-old Hurricane Wisdom, who established himself as one of rap music’s most-exciting rising stars. After elevating in Summer 2024 with “Giannis” (over 60 million streams across platforms), named one of the best songs of that year by Pitchfork, Hurricane boosted his profile with two high-quality projects in 2025. In February, Hurricane dropped Perfect Storm. Home to “Giannis” (Remix) ft. Polo G, and additional hits like “Drugs Callin” and “On God” ft. Raq Baby, Perfect Storm charted on the Billboard 200 for three weeks (#126 peak).

During the summer, Hurricane tore up the scene with a series of singles, including  “Woosah” (which peaked at #9 for YouTube trending and #40 on the YouTube Top Music Video chart), “Afraid” (reached #12 on YouTube’s Trending Chart), “Powerhouse,” which Hurricane debuted on Kai Cenat’s Mafiathon stream with On The Radar, reached the Top 10 of YouTube’s Trending Chart, and #89 on YouTube’s Music Video chart, and, “OT,” which reached the Top 5 of YouTube’s Trending Chart, and #86 on the YouTube Music Video Charts. Those singles and more appeared on Perfect Storm: Sorry 4 The Rain. More than a deluxe, Perfect Storm: Sorry 4 The Rain brings 17 original songs, not yet collected on any project, landing multiple weeks on the Billboard 200 with a peak of #54, debuting in the Top Ten of Billboard’s Top Independent Albums chart and at #16 on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.

The success of Sorry 4 The Rain was driven by a high-wattage remix to Hurricane’s viral hit “Drugs Callin,” featuring Lil Baby. Updating Future’s classic “Perkys Callin'” for a new era, “Drugs Callin” racked up over 40 million streams across platforms and 22 million views on YouTube, while the remix music video reached #1 on YouTube’s Trending Chart. Complex placed “Drugs Callin” (Remix) at #36 on their list of 2025’s 50 Best Songs, and at #23 on their list of 2025’s 30 Best Rap Songs. At the end of the year, Audiomack revealed that “Drugs Callin'” was the most-streamed rap song on the platform in 2025, with Hurricane’s “Need Me” following suit at #4.

When Perfect Storm: Sorry 4 The Rain made landfall, Hurricane Wisdom’s hotness became undeniable. He performed “Rich Dropout” as his Lyrical Lemonade’s Lunch Break Freestyle (1.8 million views), and most recently, made a standout appearance during On The Radar’s 2nd All-Star Cypher. The young rapper recently wrapped his “Perfect Storm: No Umbrellas Tour,” a headlining tour featuring several sold out dates.

Keeping the pressure on as he storms his way into 2026, Hurricane Wisdom is ready to make 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.”
