Award-winning rapper Hunnid borrows Matty Ox’s “Overwhelming” beat for a fresh remix he calls a “CCGMix.” As he is known to do, he again takes a killer beat and makes the song his own. Using New York City as the background, the high energy song and video is packed with witty lyrics and an unmatchable flow.
With many accolades already under his belt, including a nomination for Best Chicago Artist in 2014 for the Chicago Independent Music Awards, Hunnid is a one-man army on a mission to be the voice for those who are often silenced.
Born and raised in Chicago by his single-parent mother, Kelvin Jacobs acquired the name ‘Hunnid’ when a friend from a different side of town discovered that Kelvin was from 118th S. Eggleston. This neighborhood was an area dogged by crime and poverty, referred to by many as ‘The Wild, Wild Hundreds’. From then on, his nickname stuck with him. Through the years Hunnid developed a flair for freestyling that stemmed from his natural adeptness to write poetry, leading to early recognition from his peers. Bringing more artillery to his fight, Hunnid is also the founder of C.C.G (Committed to Comradery and Growth) – a talented team of solo artists, each with their own unique vision. The group was created out of brotherhood, transcending far beyond music.
Look out for Hunnid’s new single “Money Up,” available for pre-order on March 9th and officially dropping on March 16th!
