The North Florida Rising Star Welcomes Guest Appearances From Lil Baby, Babychiefdoit, Hotboii, ReGGie, and More
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 Announcemet:
Hurricane Wisdom is tearing up the Southern rap scene with his piercing melodies and effortless flexes. Six months after making a major splash with his Perfect Storm mixtape, the North Florida rhymer returns with its sequel, Perfect Storm: Sorry 4 The Rain. Along with the mixtape, Hurricane shares the music viedo for “Clippers,” his brand new collaboration with G Herbo.
More than a deluxe, Sorry 4 The Rain brings 17 original songs, not yet collected on any project, including the viral hits “On Stream“ ft. ReGGie, which reached #2 on YouTube’s Trending Chart, and peaked at #14 on YouTube’s Music Video charts, and “Drugs Callin’ (Remix)” ft. Lil Baby (peaked at #1 on YouTube’s Trending chart). Sorry 4 The Rain also gives a proper home to Hurricane’s other summer 2025 trending singles: “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 currently sits at #89 on YouTube’s Music Video chart, and most recently, “OT,” which has over 1.1 million views in less than two weeks, reached the Top 5 of YouTube’s Trending Chart, and sits at #86 on the YouTube Music Video Charts.
Beyond the previously released hits, Sorry 4 The Rain is a breezy and fast-paced listen, buoyed by Hurricane’s featherlight melodies and rewind-worthy punchlines. “Free” contrasts Hurricane’s tenor with a mournful saxophone, as the Havana, FL native sets the tone with his verse. “Rich Dropout” finds the young rapper trying his hand at the same Oh Wonder sample made famous by Lil Uzi Vert’s “The Way Life Goes,” replacing Uzi’s plaintive melodies with a torrent of his own flex-heavy tunes. The 23-year-old artist pays tribute to an icon on the piano-driven “Spike Lee” and makes a furious opening statement with the sax-drenched “Let Me In.”
Perfect Storm: Sorry 4 The Rain documents Hurricane’s rising reputation in the rap game, welcoming some of street rap’s biggest names and hottest risers as guests. Hurricane goes toe-to-toe with G Herbo on the mournful “Clippers,” kicks up the tempo with Babychiefdoit on “Life,” reunites with “On God” duet partner Raq Baby for “2 Phones,” and invites fellow Floridian Hotboii to hop on “Plus.” Most notably, Lil Baby joins for a high-wattage remix to his viral hit “Drugs Callin,” a “Perky’s Calling” flip that racked up over 40 million streams and 16 million views on YouTube. A worthy follow-up to the Billboard 200-charting Perfect Storm that can easily stand on its own, Perfect Storm: Sorry 4 The Rain is available on all platforms via Rebel/gamma.
Charting on the Billboard 200 for three weeks (#126 peak), Perfect Storm was a statement of purpose from Hurricane Wisdom, welcoming street heroes like Sleepy Hallow, NoCap, Fredo Bang, Skilla Baby, and more. The February 2025-released album is home to “Giannis (Remix),” a new version of Hurricane’s 2024 breakout hit with a guest verse from Polo G, and the original version of “Drugs Callin” (14 million Spotify streams, 19 million views), plus trending hits like “On God” ft. Raq Baby (6.3 million views).
Born and raised in Havana, Florida, just 30 minutes from Tallahassee, Hurricane Wisdom earned a big fanbase (349k YouTube subscribers, 498k 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 39 million YouTube views and 22 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 Perfect Storm: Sorry 4 The Rain making landfall, 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.”
