When we think of hip-hop, we often associate it with major cities like New York, Atlanta, or Los Angeles.

Born and bred in Brooklyn and based in Atlanta, The Hawd’s journey to success has been filled with ups and downs. But it’s his gritty, relatable lyrics that have captured the hearts of fans across the East Coast and beyond.

Growing up in Brooklyn, The Hawd faced incredible challenges from an early age. Losing his brother and mother on the same day, six years apart, was a devastating blow that could have broken anyone. But instead of letting the pain consume him, The Hawd used it as fuel to pursue his passion for music. By working hard and earning enough money to start his career in earnest, he gained recognition across the East Coast and grew his fanbase.

The Hawd sets himself apart from other artists in the hip-hop community through his authentic artistry. In fact, his music goes beyond the typical braggadocio associated with the genre to delve into personal struggles and emotions that people of all backgrounds can relate to.

His resilience sends a powerful message to his listeners: no matter what life throws at you, you can overcome it and come out stronger on the other side.

Maintaining momentum, the trailblazing talent returns with a new release, “No Feelings tapping Massachusetts-made Millyz.

The first thing that instantly grabs your attention in “No Feelings” is The Hawd’s entrancing flow. His ability to effortlessly ride the beat with his intricate lyricism is something to admire. Millyz then follows up with a raw and gritty performance that leaves no doubt about his ability to deliver bars. Their chemistry together is undeniable, as they both trade verses and bring their A-game to the track. Nonetheless, the two join forces to bring their collaborative standout single, serving as a sneak peak into Millyz forthcoming album, Holy Water set to drop in December 2023.
