Hurricane Wisdom and Sleepy Hallow Praise Their “Kinfolk” in the Latest ‘Perfect Storm’ Music Video

Hurricane Wisdom enchants with entrancing melodies, transforming street stories into infectious earworms. Today, the Havana, Florida native teams up with NYC stalwart Sleepy Hallow for “Kinfolk,” the new music video from his hit project Perfect Storm. Produced by PlutoBrazy, Harryyyeast & Reapy Montana, “Kinfolk” is a minor-key trap ballad, as both rappers use their signature melodic approaches to praise the loyal soldiers who will hold it down even after they are gone: “Best believe this sh*t go bad, I did it all for my kinfolk,” sings Hurricane. In the video, Hurricane and Sleepy run a body shop with baddies for employees, as they count clandestine cash and live it up in the local club. “Kinfolk” follows recent videos for collabs like “On God” ft. Raq Baby (2.8 million views) and “Mind Gone” ft. Dthang (1.2 million views).

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, the invigorating chipmunk soul “No Fatigue,” to the aching viral hit “Drugs Callin’” (9.3 million YouTube views), 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. The remix has over 1 million streams across platforms, and came hot on the heels of “Salute” (2.7 million video views), his collab with fellow North Florida rapper Loe Shimmy. Featuring additional guest spots from 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 co-signs from Rod Wave and NLE Choppa, an opening slot on tour with BossMan Dlow, and coverage in Billboard, BET, UPROXX, and more, the conditions are perfect for Hurricane Wisdom to make a major impact on the rap game. Keep an eye out…a storm is coming.
