At just 24 years old, Hollow Profit is ready to make his mark on the hip-hop world with his latest album, “CUIBONO?”. The rapper’s journey from a young music enthusiast to a dedicated artist has been fueled by a passion for lyrical storytelling and an undying love for the craft.

The story began in 2013, during a family road trip when Eminem’s iconic track “Berzerk” blared through the car speakers. That moment sparked something deep within Hollow, igniting a fervor for hip-hop that would soon define his life. Inspired by his sister’s existing interest in the genre, Hollow dove headfirst into the world of YouTube, immersing himself in the sounds of Eminem, Dr. Dre, NWA, and Kendrick Lamar. It was Kendrick’s groundbreaking album “To Pimp a Butterfly” that sealed the deal for him, compelling him to start writing his own lyrics.

At age 14, Hollow penned his first song, marking the start of an unwavering commitment to honing his craft. Each night, he dedicated hours to perfecting his bars, driven by a singular ambition—to be the best. His music is a testament to this dedication, influenced by Kendrick’s meticulous lyricism and MF DOOM’s unparalleled wordplay. The result is a sound that blends raw energy with intricate rhythms and a passion that resonates with listeners.

Leading up to “CUIBONO?”, Hollow has released four singles and a ten-track LP, The Prelude, but this new project marks a significant evolution in his career. “CUIBONO?” isn’t just another album; it’s Hollow Profit’s first serious, full-length offering. The record features an impressive lineup of collaborators including Nomrah, Dango Forlaine, Ronnie Alpha, Ty Farris, Junii, and Bruiser Wolf, showcasing a dynamic range of voices and styles. With production by 47 Quid and some tracks dating back to 2021, the album promises to deliver depth and innovation.

Hollow’s influences are deeply tied to his roots in Duluth, but “CUIBONO?” is poised to reach far beyond the Minnesota scene. The project aims to capture a unique blend of local flavor and universal appeal, showcasing a sound that’s both familiar and groundbreaking.

While building his fan base is at the forefront of his current goals, Hollow has ambitions that extend beyond his own career. He envisions establishing a recording studio in Duluth, with the hopes of nurturing local talent and helping other artists discover their voice. As an executive producer, he dreams of supporting the next wave of hip-hop artists and fostering a thriving community of musicians.

Hollow Profit is set to make waves and solidify his place in the hip-hop landscape.
