Hurricane Wisdom is a rising star putting on for Havana, Florida. Over the past year, he’s been making serious noise in the industry, especially after dropping Giannis. The track took off, and the remix with Polo G only elevated it further, adding another major hit to his catalog.
While I was late to the party, once I tapped in, I ran through his entire discography. From his early releases to his latest project, Perfect Storm, it’s clear that Hurricane has not only found his sound but continues to evolve as an artist. He’s always had the talent to make great records—now, the world is finally listening.
I caught up with Hurricane to talk about life, touring with No Cap, and the making of Perfect Storm. Check out our conversation below.
T: Let’s start with your name—Hurricane Wisdom. What’s the meaning behind it?
HW: Well, I’m from Florida – Hurricane. My real name is Wisdom, and I had a low cut with waves when I was in high school. So they used to call me Hurricane Wisdom, so I changed my Instagram to it. You feel me? I’ll take the durag off. Hurricane Wisdom gonna come through this bitch. Boom. It just stuck.
T: Florida has a deep history in hip-hop, from Trick Daddy to Kodak Black. How has the Florida music scene influenced your sound?
HW: It just makes you realize this is possible. It makes a whole bunch of people want to do the same things that you’re doing.
T: “New Florida” consists of artists like yourself, Luh Tyler, Loe Shimmy + more -where do you rank Florida right now among all cities musically?
We are definitely top three, not three for sure. I feel like it’s us, Chicago, Texas, Cali and maybe New York. But we top three, but not three. You know?
T: You had a crazy 2024, Giannis went up big time. How does it feel to be getting so much recognition after that big of a record?
It feels good, man. Tiring, but it feels good.
T: How’d you get Polo G on the remix?
HW: Polo G pretty much made the shit happen right there. Like, it wouldn’t have dropped if it wasn’t for Polo G. I thank him.
T: How would you describe your sound to someone who’s never heard your music before?
Damn. Yep, that’s it. Just “damn.”
T: The industry is competitive. How do you stay motivated and continue growing as a new artist?
HW: It’s not a race. Right? This shit really is not a race. I don’t look at it as a competition, I have these folks just my peers. We are in the same class without a teacher—that’s it. We just in the same class just vibing without a teacher.
T: You also worked with no cap last year on “Patience” leading to you opening up for him on tour, what’s your relationship like with NoCap?
HW: Man, me and gang, I fuck with him heavy. I dap him up before every show. He’s real for putting me on that tour. And “Patience” is not even the only song I got with that boy. I got “Rollie” that’s out with him, and I just threw him on the “Frontline” remix. It’s definitely more shit to come, though. That’s love.
T: You have a new tape Perfect Storm coming this year, what can fans expect to hear? Any big features or producer collabs that you can let the people know about?
HW: Yeah. Skilla Baby, Cap. We got Polo on that thing. It’s really a whole bunch of people but yeah, mad n****s.
TB: Last year you collaborated with Polo G, Loe Shimmy & No Cap. Which artist was your favorite to work with and why?
HW: None of these songs were done in the studio with each other, so I’d say NoCap. That was the only song that was a real, in-person collab. All the videos are gas, you know, it’s always love when people are outside. All of them, all of them for real. But Cap is the only real collab that I had, like, both of us in the studio at the same time.
