About this episode
HBBENII returns for a second interview discussing his growth and current projects in music.
🎙️ This week on Soul of the Streets , HBBENII returns for his second interview — and this time, the motion is louder, sharper, and more focused. Since his first sit-down, HB has been working, dropping records, hitting stages, and proving that his hunger is backed by discipline. In this conversation, G Waterz catches up with him on the growth, the grind, and the records currently moving for him — including “Hood Like” and “Super Freak” featuring Lil Zay Osama . HB opens up about what Chicago gives his music, why hood energy is more than pain, and how real “gangster” energy can also mean loyalty, leadership, family, and setting the tone for the next generation. They also get into the chemistry behind the Lil Zay Osama feature, the difference between having potential and actually being ready, learning how to promote records properly, staying consistent after the drop, and building toward what’s next. This is more than an update — it’s a progress report. 🎧 Tap in with Soul of the Streets — where the grind is documented in real time. Follow us on IG: @bpemusic | @TheHypeNYC X: @TheHypeRadioNYC
