A little while ago, Brain Rapp said that he was pushing his movement even further. Specifically, he stated he wanted/needed to push his music and movement outside of the DMV.

Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @HMAKMusic – HMAK Dead
Artistic evolution is a tried and true method to get folks talking. The “death” of a former persona, such as the case with DMV artist HUNTER (f/k/a HMAK), is one that’ll definitely get people talking.
