Hurricane Wisdom Recruits Lil Baby For “Drugs Callin'” Remix
Rising in the Southern rap scene with a reputation for piercing melodies and effortless flexes, Hurricane Wisdom is turning heads amongst the game’s elite. Today, the North Florida rapper meets his melodic match, connecting with Lil Baby for a high-wattage remix to his viral hit “Drugs Callin.” Providing a new twist to Future’s classic “Perky’s Callin,” Hurricane Wisdom’s “Drugs Callin” is a showcase for the artist’s tuneful flexes, its earworm bars helping the song rack up over 40 millionstreams to date across platforms (including over 16 million views on YouTube).
