In a new episode of ‘Million Dollaz Worth of Game’, hosts Gillie and Wallo sit down with East Atlanta’s own Hunxho to discuss his rise in music, his latest album, and how he keeps his faith and friends close despite newfound fame. The conversation gives fans an inside look at Hunxho’s journey, values, and creative process.
Hunxho’s commitment to faith is a central part of his identity, and he took the opportunity to invite the hosts to pray with him at a local mosque. Having achieved over a billion streams, Hunxho’s career has skyrocketed. With multiple gold records and even a recent XXL Freshman cover, he’s firmly established as one of Atlanta’s standout talents. Naming his album “Thank God” reflects the gratitude that shapes his music, as Hunxho frequently references his faith in his lyrics.
Raised on Second Avenue in East Atlanta, Hunxho mentioned that his journey included high school basketball before fully turning his focus to music. He goes on to reveal that the year he turned 22 marked a breakthrough, as he signed his record deal and put legal issues behind him.
The album ‘Thank God’ is a 22-track project carefully curated from a larger pool of 30-40 songs. Hunxho highlights that he leans toward recording over performing, preferring to stay in the studio to create music with authenticity. He reveals that for him, collaborations are organic, focusing on real connections over industry partnerships.
Amidst rapid success, Hunxho’s approach remains unaltered. He stays close to his original circle, avoids industry distractions, and emphasizes his focus on career longevity. His humility and grounded outlook keep him connected to his roots, with a clear mindset of “still working” on his craft.
