Emerging from the heart of real-life struggle with an authentic voice and undeniable talent, 2H$ttt is quickly making waves in the music scene. With roots in both Cleveland, Ohio and Charlotte, North Carolina, his journey is anything but ordinary. “What’s good, it’s ya boy 2H$ttt. I’m out here, man—come hop on this heatwave,” he says with confident energy. “It feels good to be here. I’m just taking it all in.”
Surviving the Storm
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, 2H$ttt found himself on the front lines—not in the music studio, but behind the kitchen doors of IHOP. “We still had to come in to work because… you know… people still gotta eat,” he recalls. Working in the chaos of a restaurant kitchen, masked and mentally strained, he hit a breaking point. “Nobody saw me crumble, but I was dying inside.” After standing up for himself and walking away from the job, he made a life-changing decision: to enlist in the military. “I haven’t looked back since.”
From the 216 to the 704
2H$ttt’s backstory is both powerful and heart-wrenching. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, he lost his mother at the age of four to a tragic act of violence. His father, consumed by addiction, was unable to care for him. Raised by his grandfather until his passing, 2H$ttt was eventually adopted by a second cousin who moved him to Charlotte, NC. “Frfr, I rep that 704, but I always remember that the 216 is where it all started.”
Early Dreams and Raw Talent
Like many children, 2H$ttt once dreamed of becoming Michael Jordan or Lil Wayne. He even fantasized about playing guitar or piano like Prince, despite never having lessons. “One thing I knew for sure—I wanted to be a star,” he says. That desire materialized one day in a parked car with friends. A freestyle session over an instrumental had the whole car jumping. “I was just having fun, but I knew deep down I had a gift. I just had to figure out how to use it.”
Musical Influences and Sound
Blending the gritty storytelling of the Midwest with the raw, bass-heavy vibe of the South, 2H$ttt pulls inspiration from legends like Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Lil Wayne, Gucci Mane, Jeezy, Boosie, T.I., Ludacris, and OutKast. His sound is a fusion of classic and contemporary, unafraid to reflect his truth.
Defining the Journey
When asked what a theme song for his life would be, 2H$ttt doesn’t hesitate: “Back Stabbers” by The O’Jays. It’s a choice that speaks to his resilience. In his spare time, he values peace and reflection, keeping his spirit grounded and focused. “I’m too blessed to be stressed.”
Building the Brand
2H$ttt attributes his success to patience and perseverance. “It’s easy to stop chasing a dream when you get discouraged. But I’ve learned that failing doesn’t mean losing. I count my losses the same way I count my wins—both help me grow.” He surrounds himself with positivity, understanding that the right team is everything.
Using His Platform for Purpose
While 2H$ttt believes everyone has a right to express themselves, he acknowledges the power of giving back. “When you get blessed, it’s important to bless others. You can’t help everybody, but you can help your community.” He’s especially passionate about mental and physical health, stressing the need to address overlooked issues and remove the stigma surrounding them.
Looking Forward
For 2H$ttt, financial freedom means more than money—it’s about stability, independence, and making sure his family is taken care of. His long-term vision includes building businesses, creating trustworthy partnerships, and empowering others to succeed. “I want to help people make good career choices that put food on their table.”
The Legacy
When the spotlight fades, 2H$ttt wants to be remembered as a man who stood on business. “I didn’t back down from adversity. I had the heart of a lion.” To his fans, he offers one simple, heartfelt message: “I love y’all. Y’all make my life meaningful—and without y’all, there is no me.”
