A rising star in his city at just 19-years-old, Sturdyyoungin brings panache, charm, and quotable bars to Philadelphia’s uptempo, dance rap sound. Hot on the heels of his guest verse on viral hit “BUMBAA” by his close friend Ohthatsmizz, Youngin shares “Trippin’,” a brand new song and video. Warping Fergie’s “Clumsy” into a stuttering, club-ready anthem, “Trippin'” reunites the young rapper with his fellow Philly native Ohthatsmizz, adding NYC’s ZeddyWill to make a troublesome trio. The three rappers trade bars as if in conversation, ping-ponging off each other’s punchlines and attempting to one-up their flexes in pursuit of romance.

Featuring a cameo from Fergie, the video is a tribute to teen movies, with the three rappers portraying football players in pursuit of the cheer captain. Sturdyyoungin shows off his talent on the football field, while ZeddyWill spits game in the hallway and Ohthatsmizz takes her for burgers at the local diner. The story ends at a house party, where the rivalries melt away and the crowd hits the viral “Trippin'” dance  throughout the party. The story ends at a house party, where the rivalries melt away and the crowd goes dumb to “Trippin'” on the dancefloor. 

A popular figure in Philadelphia since high school, Sturdyyoungin built a following on social media by starting dance challenges to Philly club rap bangers, rocking freestyles, and just by being himself. While he first gained fame as a content creator, Sturdyyoungin pursued his music dream, making his own music on Bandlab and eventually joining up with legendary Philly dance rap crew 2Humpy, which also featured luminaries like 2Rare, Bril, and frequent rap partner Ohthatsmizz. After 2Humpy broke up, Sturdy started to make waves on his own, and often teamed up with Ohthatsmizz to release red hot singles like “How It Goes” (also featuring Bril), racking up over 1.3 million streams on Spotify.

Sturdy and Mizz scored their biggest hit to date in Fall 2024, with Mizz’s “BUMBAA,” a kinetic party anthem that went viral on TikTok (634k creations) and YouTube (5+ million views on the static image audio and music video combined), catching the attention of notables like Jayda Wayda and LaLa Anthony, among others. Sturdy and Mizz used the song to show off their performance skills with memorable appearances on In The Cut (4.1 million views) and On The Radar, and started a viral “open verse challenge” for the song, receiving thousands of videos in response.

With “BUMBAA” on the rise and much more music to come, Sturdyyoungin is primed to take the Philly sound global. Stay tuned for more.

Channeling his trials and tribulations through his church-trained singing voice, Hurricane Wisdom makes music for triumphing over tragedy. The 20-year-old North Florida rapper slows down the tempo with “Demand,” his new single and music video. Backed by rippling pianos and ethereal vox, Hurricane refuses to get too deep in his feelings, reflecting on the hearts he has broken from Cali to Tally and taunting his exes with his X5 Beamer.

“Demand” continues Hurricane Wisdom’s red hot start to 2025. Shortly after the calendars flipped, Hurricane recruited Polo G to hop on the remix to his breakout 2024 hit, “Giannis,” which already has more than 1 million streams across platforms. “Giannis” (Remix) came on the heels of “Salute” (1.8 million video views), a late 2024 collaboration with Tallahassee heavy-hitter Loe Shimmy. Hurricane Wisdom is currently hard at work on Perfect Storm, his next mixtape, which will feature “Demand” and arrives on February 14th via Open Shift Distribution.

Born and raised in Havana, Florida, just 30 minutes from Tallahassee, Hurricane Wisdom stands out in a bustling Florida rap scene with his unique melodic sensibilities. Rhyming under a childhood nickname that refers to both his state’s most common severe weather system and his whirlwind energy, Hurricane earned a big fanbase (117k YouTube subscribers, 272k Instagram followers) with his emotionally honest lyrics and entrancing melodies. As a teenager, he built his reputation as a prolific and hard-working talent, releasing five mixtapes, starting with 2021’s Hurricane Season reaching a fever pitch with last year’s Eye Of The Storm.

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 19 million YouTube views and 4 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, a spot supporting NoCap on his tour in January and February, and coverage in Billboard, BET, UPROXX, AllHipHop, and more, the conditions are perfect for Hurricane Wisdom to make a major impact on the rap game.
