Atlanta has the ball in the rap game, and with artists like Hunxho emerging, there may be a part two to their reign in the industry. An upcoming artist from East of the city in Atlanta, Hunxho’s music is raw, pure, and authentic; something that hasn’t been felt in the scene since Rich Gang had their run in 2014. Hunxho is an artist that is best understood through his music, where he pushes get rich hustler music without selling out or filtering his concepts.  With songs like “Let's Get It”, “Knowledge”, and Compromise”, it’s no surprise why his name is amongst the hottest on the come up. 

Fresh from his project Streat Poetry which just dropped in February, “Let’s Get It” has been Hunxho’s biggest song up to date, even earning him a 21 Savage Remix. The song is classified as regional hit; pushing a laid back, minimal vibe. The song uses unique melodic flows to carry the music without losing its authenticity to the trap genre. 21 Savages delivers an impressive player collar popping verse that sounds like something you play out of the Impala. 

Knowledge is a hard-hitting, geeked-up song that makes you want to play GTA. The song is about having the knowledge of how the block operates and where Hunxho belongs in that equation. It's a fast lifestyle, filled with Hellcats and Challengers, set in a mafia-type environment that makes you keep an eye and a glock on everyone. Hunxho makes this track almost seem effortless with the confidence he exerts through the song. This is a perfect example of Hunxho showcasing his ability to make impactful music to shake things up in the industry.

Compromise is an emotional track inspired by the challenges and compromises that the artist has made in order to keep living and moving in the trenches of his city. The track has drums similar to that of Buddha Bless, giving him that southern roll to the instrument. Hunxho raps about cold nights in storms alone where no one helped him make it out. With no handouts he details how he turned to wrong in hopes of going in the right direction. Through a tale of perseverance, trouble, and regrets he speaks about what his meaning of success is. 

Hunxho is deemed as one of Atlanta's rising stars and his music tells you all you need to know about his movement and consistency with his musical career. With features from NoCap, 21Savage, and Yak Gotti, there is no doubt he has made an audience and a demand for his music. His next moves may be his most important ones.
