Project: Big Havi – Personal Problems 2
The ATL Rapper Plumbs The Depths of His Soul in His Latest Project, Featuring Lil Keed, OMB Peezy, and More
Critical Praise:
“In a very unforgiving and fast moving musical context, Havi proves he can go toe to toe with the best of his rap contemporaries and likely stick around too.” – EARMILK
“BIG HAVI IS UP NEXT OUT OF EAST ATLANTA” – FLAUNT
“Big Havi’s authenticity is helping him garner a reputation as one of Hip Hop’s most promising emerging voices” – REVOLT
“The ‘9 Times Out Of 10’ rapper is poised to be Atlanta’s next star.” – ELEVATOR
“Big Havi’s got a way of latching onto the beat and making any track an earworm” – HipHopSince1987
The Project:
A rising star in his hometown of Atlanta, Big Havi’s music provides an ideal mix of addictive hooks, athletic rhymes, and heartfelt emotion. Further refining his “pain music” aesthetic, Havi shares Personal Problems 2, his third project of the year. The sequel to Havi’s early 2020 project Personal Problems, the new project is a refinement of Havi’s approach, combining heartfelt lyrics with an innate songwriting ability. The project reveals a more confident and brash young artist, one who’s still haunted by his traumatic past but motivated by the drive to provide for his family.
Highlights from the project include “Fake A Smile,” which explores how money and fame can’t buy happiness, and “Don’t Approach Me,” a fiery step-off anthem with an appearance from kindred spirit OMB Peezy. Featuring additional appearances from Havi’s fellow ATL young guns Lil Keed, who appears on recent single “Vibez’N,” Slimelife Shawty, Seddy Hendrix, and D’Rick, Personal Problems 2 is available everywhere via Commission Records.
Bursting onto the scene earlier this year with his innate melodicism and deeply felt pain, Havi is in the midst of a busy 2020. PP2 is Havi’s third body of work of the year. In February, Havi shared the expressive and infectious Personal Problems, which hosted the hit single “9 Times Out Of 10.” With over 27 million total streams, more than 8 million YouTube views, and a feature from Lil Baby, “9 Times Out Of 10” reached #34 on the nationwide urban radio airplay chart.
Later in the year, as protests demonstrating against police brutality rose up across the country, Havi shared No Pen No Pad Just Pain, a raw and emotional EP. Videos from the project, including the Qasquiat-directed “Blood N My Eyes“ (116k views), found Havi showing support for the Black Lives Movement in his city. Earlier this month, Havi shared the video for “Testimony,” which paid tribute to his grandparents and saluted them for working hard to provide Havi with a bigger life.
Watch out for the “Vibez’N” video featuring Lil Keed, dropping via WorldstarHipHop over the weekend.

The Background:
The young rapper combines tuneful rhymes and an effortless flow about personal hardships and future aspirations. His relatable lyrics are what set him apart as a rising new star in an always crowded Atlanta rap scene. After a major label bidding war, Big Havi decided to take the indie route, signing with independent powerhouse Commission Records (MadeinTYO, Lil Dicky, Derez De’shon, Casey Veggies, IDK). On the heels of his hot new single “9 Times Out Of 10” continues to rise up urban radio charts, Havi shared his debut project Personal Problems on February 7th. Big Havi recently opened for Lil Tjay on the “True 2 Myself Tour.”
