Published

When we think of hip-hop, we often associate it with major cities like New York, Atlanta, or Los Angeles. And while there are countless rappers who flock to these musical hotspots to make their name, few artists fuse the sounds of both cities as effortlessly as The Hawd. 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 sound fuses the tough, gritty beats of New York with the more laid-back vibe of Atlanta to create a style that’s uniquely his own.

Beyond his music, The Hawd’s personal journey is equally compelling. Overcoming unimaginable losses to pursue his passion is something that many of us 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.

In addition to having toured the United States and Europe, with over millions of online views, and an ever-growing fan base.
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.
