The Havana, Florida Native Reaches a New Career Milestone, Collaborating With One of His All-Time Favorite Artists on a Melodic New Single
With Over 1 Billion Streams in the Bank and A Growing Catalog of Melodic Hits, Hurricane Wisdom Prepares to Take the Next Step with the Upcoming Weather The World, the Highly Anticipated Follow-Up to 2025’s Billboard 200-Charting Perfect Storm and Perfect Storm: Sorry 4 The Rain
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 is winning hearts and minds across the rap game with his sharp songwriting and infectious melodies. After scoring several hits and amassing over 1 billion streams across his catalog, the young North Florida artist prepares for his next chapter, announcing Weather The World, his upcoming album. The highly-anticipated follow-up to 2025’s Perfect Storm and Perfect Storm: Sorry 4 The Rain arrives on June 5th via Rebel/gamma.
Along with the album announcement, Hurricane drops “Barbie Doll,” the artist’s first-ever collaboration with Grammy-winning artist Chance The Rapper, one of Hurricane’s all-time favorite artists. The song is a perfect merger of their two melodic sensibilities, with a soulful, bouncing piano-led beat laying the groundwork for nimble staccato verses by both artists. Hurricane introduces the song, effortlessly twirling syllables into plaintive, circular tunes about his flirtations with a gorgeous woman. Chance enlivens the middle verse, leaning into the track with charm and his trademark lyrical acrobatics. The song arrives alongside a music video starring both Hurricane Wisdom and Chance The Rapper, live now on Hurricane’s YouTube.
“Barbie Doll” continues Hurricane’s hot streak, marked by several viral singles, trending music videos, and artist-to-watch honors from Complex and Spotify. The North Florida native expanded into the world of Afrobeats with “LIVING UP,” complete with a video set in the outskirts of Lagos, Nigeria. The video has over 2.2 million views, to add to the song’s 5 million global streams. In late 2025, Hurricane dropped “My Life” (3.7 million views), which peaked at#9 on YouTube’s Trending Chart for Music, en route to more than 15 million global streams. Subsequent singles “Dangerous” (2.9 million views) and “Over Now” (4.4 million views) each approached 10 million global streams, after hitting the YouTube Trending Charts. Most recently, Hurricane attempted to deal with the weight of his newfound responsibilities on “Enough,” which generated over 1.2 million views in just two weeks. Hurricane’s run of singles built on the momentum fomented by 2025’s BIllboard 200-charting The Perfect Stormand Perfect Storm: Sorry 4 The Rain.
Keeping the pressure on as he thunders his way to the top of the rap game, Hurricane Wisdom is ready to make a Category 5 impact on the industry. Don’t sleep..Weather The World is coming.

About Hurricane Wisdom:
Hurricane Wisdom had an outstanding 2025, during which he 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).
Later in the year, Hurricane kept his streak going with 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 Albumschart. 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 50 million streams across platforms, while the remix music video reached #1 on YouTube’s Trending Chart. Complex placed “Drugs Callin” (Remix) at #36on 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(2.1 million views), and 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.
