If you are not already familiar with HULKSICKO!, you definitely will be in the next couple of years. This nineteen year old artist from Bronx, NY has been making noise on the east coast and he’s only getting bigger. Yet, the path this kid has taken to get here hasn’t always been smooth sailing. After receiving two division one basketball offers his freshman year at Westtown School, a hip injury deterred his dreams of playing division one, giving birth to his new passion. Luckily for his sake his skills behind the mic have more than matched his skills on the court. Starting off from Soundcloud his transition to larger music platforms such as Apple Music and Spotify was just as polished as his music. After releasing his first mixtape “Slap Ya Self” HULKSICKO! gained a surge of fans attracted to his new age rap style that mixes high pitched vocals with a soft harmonizing tone. As his career he advances he continues to separate himself from most artists showcasing his ability to bounce around genres dabbling in pop country and new age pop. Surprisingly, what most people don’t know about this young phenomenon is his love for Chinese culture. Making the most of his time at school he has actually learned how to speak the language pretty well. If you follow him on social media, his constant posting of Chinese characters probably isn’t new to you. This has kept him traveling back and forth between countries for the last two years, diving head first into a new culture.
