Hurricane Wisdom Relates His State of Mind in Downtempo “Anyways” Single & Video
Hurricane Wisdom grew a big fanbase in Florida and beyond with his buoyant melodies and slice of life rhymes. Today, the young rapper dips into his reflective bag, sharing “Anyways,” his first new single since releasing Perfect Storm in February. “Anyways” presents a minimal, downtempo instrumental, laden with warm keyboards and understated percussion, allowing Hurricane to reflect on how his life has changed in the past few months: “Havin’ rich problems, don’t know what to choose, I buy three/She havin’ life problems, don’t know what to do because of me,” he croons. In the video, Hurricane Wisdom looks back on his time as a supporting act on BossMan Dlow‘s “Dlow Curry Tour,” focusing on Hurricane’s time in Canada, where he explored the streets of Toronto and made time to visit Niagara Falls.
“Always” follows in the wake of videos like “On God” ft. Raq Baby (2.8 million views, Top 15 Trending on YouTube), “Mind Gone” ft. Dthang (1.2 million views), and most recently, “Kinfolk” ft. Sleepy Hallow, and most recently, “Need Me,” all highlights from his hit project, Perfect Storm. 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.
