Jamir Quran Bangs, better known as Hvndo, isn’t just another rapper trying to make it out of the hood—he’s a force of nature, a product of Elizabeth, New Jersey, a place known as "The Wick" because it gets wicked there. In a world where life can be ruthless, Hvndo has found a
way to channel his pain, his struggles, and his relentless drive into a sound that’s as raw as it is real. From the moment he was born, Hvndo was marked by destiny. His middle name, Quran, is a powerful symbol, almost prophetic. Like the sacred text, his words are charged with a
message—his life, his experiences, his music—they all speak to something greater. Raised in an environment where guidance was scarce and survival was a daily battle, Hvndo learned to navigate the harsh realities of life on his own. His father passed away when he was young,
leaving him to face the streets of "The Wick" without a mentor. The streets, however, would become the backdrop for his story, and his music would be the medium through which he tells it. Before music became his calling, the streets were his reality. It was a world where you had to
learn fast or get left behind. But even in the midst of chaos, there was a spark of creativity within him. School plays and theater offered brief glimpses of the artist that Hvndo would one day become, though back then, it might have seemed like just another escape from the darkness. But those moments were more than just a reprieve—they were the first steps on a path that would eventually lead him to where he is today.
Hvndo’s sound is rooted in his experiences, influenced by the streets but also by the artists who came before him. Lil Wayne, in particular, was a major inspiration. Wayne’s music spoke to him in a way that no one else’s did, offering a blueprint for how to turn pain into poetry. But Hvndo isn’t just another artist in Wayne’s shadow; he’s carved out his own space, with a voice that’s as distinct as it is powerful. Often compared to King Von and Polo G, Hvndo brings a level of wit, wordplay, and authenticity that sets him apart. He’s got his own story to tell, and he tells it in a way that’s both deeply personal and universally relatable. Although Hvndo’s roots
are in drill music, his love for soul music adds depth to his artistry. Soul music, with its emotive, descriptive, and universally accepted themes, has taught him how to turn his tragedies into trophies and his struggles into triumphs. Even as he spits gritty bars over hard-hitting beats,
there’s a layer of soulful influence that runs through his music. This influence allows him to connect with listeners on a deeper level, transforming his pain into something powerful, relatable, and, ultimately, redemptive. In 2022, after returning from jail, Hvndo made a decision—he wasn’t going to let the system define him. He hit the ground running, shooting four music videos almost immediately after his release. He was done with being a product of his environment; it was time to start shaping his own destiny. With the help of Huge Hood, a titan in the industry, along with Gotham Music Group and Why Would We Lose, Hvndo found his
footing in the industry, making a name for himself with a relentless work ethic and a sound that couldn’t be ignored.

His singles—"Watch Who You’re Around," "From The Wick To The Towns & Back," "Still in Love," "Hoopers," and "See Me Down"—are more than just tracks; they’re stories, each one a chapter in the book of his life. Through his music, Hvndo channels the pain, the hunger, and the determination that have been the driving forces behind his journey. You can hear it in his
voice—the authenticity, the grit, the raw emotion that only comes from someone who’s lived what they’re rapping about. Hvndo’s life has been a series of challenges, and each one has shaped him into the artist he is today. College, for him, felt like just another form of confinement. Stuck in a cycle of monotony, far from home, and without the financial support he
needed, it felt like a continuation of the struggle he was trying to escape. It was this realization that led him to leave school and focus on his music full-time. It wasn’t just a career choice—it was a decision to take control of his life, to follow his passion, and to never look back. In the studio, Hvndo is in his element. His creative process is fluid, driven by vibes and moods that dictate how he approaches each record. Whether he’s catching a vibe in the studio or letting his mood guide the creation of a new track, Hvndo is constantly evolving as an artist. He’s not just writing songs—he’s crafting narratives, telling stories that need to be heard. His commitment to his craft is unwavering, and his hunger for success is palpable. The music industry, in Hvndo’s eyes, has lost touch with what really matters. It’s become a game of clout chasing and viral moments, but he’s here to bring back the realness, to remind people that music is more than just a trend. With his authenticity, his grit, and his relentless drive, Hvndo is poised to be one of the greatest rappers of his generation. He’s not just making music—he’s making a statement, and he’s here to prove that no matter where you come from, if you’ve got the talent and the determination, you can change your world. Hvndo’s story is still being written, but one thing is clear—this is just the beginning. He’s a man on a mission, and with every track he drops, every verse he spits, he’s getting one step closer to his ultimate goal: to be one of the greatest to ever do it. In a world where the odds have always been against him, Hvndo is not just surviving—he’s thriving, and he’s doing it on his own terms.
