From personal loss and financial issues to other tribulations, HXNTZ displays pure resilience through it all and rises to the apex to achieve his dreams while under pressure.
HXNTZ is actively carving out a new lane for himself in hip-hop with his versatile and eclectic sound. His atmospheric soundscape, smooth delivery and honest lyricism gives his music a conscious feel, with a futuristic upbeat vibe. Growing up, the Londoner’s sound was heavily inspired by his Jamaican heritage and the UK underground music scene, incorporating elements of UK garage, grime and dancehall into his work.
