But, like the best rap names, its inspiration is decidedly functional; a nod to a hairstyle he had as a teen. \u201cI had waves in high school,\u201d he explains on a humid August day via Zoom. \u201cIt was a little phase, I guess.\u201d These days, his hair\u2019s grown into locs and instead of rocking waves, he\u2019s making them.<\/p>\n<p>Since emerging with tracks like the NoCap-assisted <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/2amQJAFo6FSXLGc3s4sEMO?si=ccaaf727975e493d\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cPatience\u201d<\/a> in 2023, Wisdom has used wounded melodies and everyman songwriting to become one of Florida\u2019s most promising young exports. His melodic murmurs helped his 2024 single <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/s5JaOnul46A?si=L0AIsKV8V1zk5zp7\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cGiannis\u201d<\/a> earn over 20 million Spotify streams. A strong work ethic, along with cosigns from Rod Wave, NoCap and Lil Baby have pushed him to the brink of stardom.<\/p>\n<p>More tangibly, Wisdom\u2019s talent has earned him a black-and-purple Mercedes-Benz GLE, one of the first big purchases he copped with his rap money. \u201cI\u2019m just a car guy,\u201d Wisdom shares. He\u2019s an animal guy, too. In his new Miami home, he\u2019s got two dogs, two crested geckos, two leopard geckos, a tortoise and a scorpion as roommates. It\u2019s a rural touch appropriate for a 21-year-old who came of age in what might be called \u201cthe middle of nowhere.\u201d \u201cYou not going to see a Walmart for \u2019bout a good 20, 40 miles,\u201d Wisdom says of growing up in Tallahassee, Fla.\u2019s Little Havana community. \u201cIt\u2019s just country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Raised alongside 11 siblings, Wisdom Mikeal Oluola had a lot of things to do, very few of which involved actively attending the local Christian schools he enrolled in. When he wasn\u2019t being a goofball in the classes he actually attended, he\u2019d play with his siblings\u2019 hand-me-down toys. That is, when his behavior didn\u2019t land him in trouble. \u201cI didn\u2019t even get to play my [PlayStation Portable because of] how bad I was,\u201d he says. \u201cMy grandma kept taking my sh*t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When she wasn\u2019t taking his PlayStation, Wisdom\u2019s grandma exposed him to the sounds of Donnie McClurkin. By age 11, he\u2019d grown to appreciate gospel, so he joined the church band. He rapped, too. At around the same time he began performing in church, he became mesmerized by the sounds of Chance The Rapper and Fetty Wap. But it was fellow Floridian Rod Wave who inadvertently planted seeds of Wisdom\u2019s own eventual rap career.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPretty much everything bro was saying hit home with me,\u201d Wisdom tells. \u201cIn my middle school years, he was in high school-type sh*t going through the hallways, rapping and sh*t. [It was the] sh*t I was trying to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, Wisdom\u2019s friends wanted him to try harder. So, he did. After testing out his skills by posting song snippets, he released \u201cGrannys Baby,\u201d a 2020 single that quickly earned over 300,000 streams. The track also crystallized his stylistic DNA\u2014a powerful cocktail of flexible vocals, immediate songwriting and Earthly sincerity. \u201cWe ain\u2019t have no silver spoon or house up on the hill\/We had rats and we had roaches, but we had somewhere to live,\u201d he spits on the track. It\u2019s an earnestness that emits concentrated warmth that can only come from someone who\u2019s lived through hard times without being completely defined by them.<\/p>\n<p>Wielding those tools to their fullest effect, Wisdom cultivated a fan base with projects like <em>Hurricane Season<\/em> (2021), <em>State of Emergency<\/em> (2022), <em>Category 5: The Biggest Hurricane<\/em> (2023), <em>Eye of the Storm<\/em> (2024) and <em><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/4StaOoKvc1slai3SMaOhCZ?si=vHrYpgDiQOqT_nA49-SSrw\" target=\"_blank\">Perfect Storm<\/a><\/em> (2025). Through the latter effort, Wisdom released \u201cDrugs Callin,\u201d a twitchier, more delirious take on Future\u2019s \u201cPerkys Calling.\u201d To date, the track has collected over 16 million Spotify streams. With the recently released Lil Baby-assisted remix, the total will only grow. It\u2019s a come up Wisdom\u2019s team foresaw years ago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018Better\u2019 was the first song that I was like, Yo, this kid is special. He\u2019s onto something,\u201d says Don E, A&amp;R at Rebel Music. He met Wisdom after the rapper signed to the label in 2021. \u201cI think with every song, Hurricane speaks nothing but realness and truth. I think that one was kind of like it could connect to any person, no matter who you are, how rich you think you are or how poor [you are], it\u2019s going to connect. Life gets better no matter who you are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Wisdom in particular, life\u2019s gotten a lot better. This past spring, Rebel Music reportedly signed a deal with Gamma, home to artists like Snoop Dogg, Sexyy Red and Usher. This puts more power behind Wisdom. He also joined BossMan Dlow on the Dlow Curry Tour earlier this year, which hit cities throughout the U.S., and \u201cGiannis\u201d was certified gold just a week after this interview. Though they haven\u2019t collaborated yet, he and Rod Wave are in contact with each other. He\u2019s also been on the phone with Young Thug. \u201cEverybody I met in this music sh*t always got something to tell me,\u201d Wisdom maintains. \u201cAnd I just pick it up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, Hurricane Wisdom wanted to add collaborations with G Herbo to his expanding list of rap star linkups and did so on the track &#8220;Clippers.&#8221; He wants to get more plaques, too. He might get them with the release of\u00a0his <em>Perfect Storm<\/em> deluxe project, which arrived in October. There were times when he thought a viable rap career might be out of reach. Now it\u2019s within his grasp and he&#8217;s not modeling his career off anyone\u2019s but his own.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know one of his favorite artists is Rod Wave, but I think now he\u2019s just found his own way and he kind of just became his own person,\u201d says Don E. \u201cI view him as somebody who\u2019s going to be up there with the biggest of them all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For his part, Wisdom doesn\u2019t seem too concerned with mapping out career trajectories. \u201cI\u2019m on my own journey right now,\u201d Wisdom says. \u201cI didn\u2019t think it was gonna be easy. I didn\u2019t think it was gonna be hard,\u201d he adds. \u201cIt\u2019s everything I thought it was gonna be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The storm\u2019s coming.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align:center\">Listen to Hurricane Wisdom&#8217;s<em> Perfect Storm: Sorry 4 The Rain<\/em> Album<br \/><iframe src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/4QMV0g9J5HS87XSvCxAf7i?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" data-testid=\"embed-iframe\"><\/iframe><\/h3>\n<p><em>The fall 2025 issue of XXL magazine featuring Hurricane Wisdom&#8217;s\u00a0interview\u00a0is available to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/shop.xxlmag.com\/products\/xxl-magazine-fall-2025-issue\" target=\"_blank\">purchase here<\/a>.
