When Reach Records dropped their Summer Nineteen playlist last year, it featured many familiar artists but one name probably stood out to listeners: Hulvey, who contributed the fifth track “Motions.” It ended up being one of the most popular songs on the consortium and four singles and a few guest spots later, Reach Records unveiled him as their newest signee.

He grew up in Las Vegas, where I now live. It’s always good to have common ground with people. Then we got into his goals with his music. KH – I went through a season of wanting to go out and find myself. I don’t want to live off of someone else’s formula if God’s putting other things on my heart. I’ve always had a heart […]

If there was one line in 2020 Rapzilla Freshman Thomas Iannucci’s music that described him as an artist best, it would be in his song “Kuleana (Paradise)” featuring seni. at the end of his second verse. “I don’t know if I’ll ever spark a change, I just know the silence is killing us all man.” The Christian Formally known as Illtalian, Iannucci grew up on the islands of Hawaii honing his craft of Hip-Hop. A little less than two years ago, Iannucci won the Nā Hōkū Hanohano Award for the best Hip-Hop album. Now, he is a Rapzilla Freshmen. “This […]
