Career edit
Career beginnings edit
Hunxho's single "Let's Get It"[11] (part of his project Street Poet 2) marked the beginning of his success.[12] The song was later remixed by 21 Savage.[13] Following this success, Hunxho signed with 300 Entertainment, which released his first 2022 project, Street Poetry.[14] This album featured the "Let's Get It" remix and the single "Made Me" with NoCap. In 2022, Hunxho released his second project, "Xhosen" (a tribute to his son), on June 16.[15][16] This project featured WanMor on the single "Heartless" and guest appearances on singles by Lil PJ, Rot Ken, and Lil Darius. In 2023, Hunxho released his first project, "Humble as Ever", which featured the single "Highly Performing". His long-awaited debut album, "22", was released on March 22, 2023.[17] This 22-song project features Tee Grizzley, Yung Mal, and Lil Poppa, and includes prominent singles like "True To My Religion"[18]and "48 Laws Of Power".[19] The concept of "22" was first teased on Xhosen with the single "22", representing his East Atlanta block, his birthday (June 22), and the significant year of 2022, when he was signed, acquitted of his RICO charge, and celebrated the birth of his first son.
2023–present: 4 Days in LA and "IOU Tour" edit
Hunxho released the eight-song EP 4 Days in LA in May 2023, featuring Lil Dallas and production from longtime trap producer Murda Beatz.[20] Shortly after, he joined the "It's Only Us Tour" as a supporting act, headlined by Lil Baby, in promotion of his third studio album It's Only Me. Hunxho was accompanied by fellow southern artists Rylo Rodriguez and GloRilla on the nationwide tour.[21]
Legal troubles edit
In June 2023, Hunxho was arrested at the LYFE ATL Nightclub in Atlanta for gun possession, following a shooting incident at a birthday party he hosted.[22]
