Hunxho will be lighting up the stage and accompanying Lil Baby on his IOU tour this summer. Hunxho acknowledges that the opportunity is a major blessing and plans to go all in. He attributes his success thus far to his drive and resilience.
“I gotta do something to make them remember me, in every state I go to. He’s giving me his audience, and I gotta make the best out of it” said Hunxho in an exclusive interview with BoomBox Weekly.
Hunxho who is managed by his uncle Raja’ee Muhammad’s 1Team Entertainment management group, is motivated by his family and faith. He has been through trials and tribulations that could have broken the average person but he took his pain and transformed it into a bible of poetry and rhymes.

When asked about the craziness and darkness that comes with the industry, Muhammad says all those vices can be overcome.
“Hunhxo is a fighter and survivor. Navigating through things with a flicker of light will always distinguish darkness. We are honest and want everyone to win and we’re focused on that as a family. We’re not really focused on all of the other things that come with the industry. We want to empower our people,” said Muhammad.

"You don’t have to listen to nobody tells you how to do nothin, you can do it your own way and still get to where you gotta be. Stay consistent, practice makes perfect. The more you stay in the studio. The more you shoot videos. Anything that got to do with music, the more you gone go up. Long as its more views than last time, you’re doing something right. Even if it’s not, keep going.” - Hunxho stated on BoomBox Weekly
