In the heart of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, a storm’s been brewing—not of ocean waves, but of soundwaves. Meet WI$3, a seasoned hip hop songwriter who’s been carving his lane in the game for the past 14 years. From his first track, “Carolina Anthem,” to his latest mixtape drop “FY”, WI$3 isn’t just rapping for clout—he’s building a legacy.
WI$3 got his start in the trenches of the local scene, a one-man army with nothing but raw talent, a passion for storytelling, and Future’s influence riding in the passenger seat. Yes, Future isn’t just his favorite artist—he’s the blueprint. If WI$3 could share a stage or a booth with anyone, it would be him. It’s not about imitation, though. It’s about inspiration—channeling that energy into something that sounds uniquely like Myrtle Beach, yet globally relatable.
What separates WI$3 from the noise is his DIY approach. He writes all his material, crafts his own music video concepts, and works with a rotating cast of producers to keep his sound fresh. While he’s not signed to a label yet, he’s gunning for that record deal, not just to make waves, but to start a tsunami. His biggest supporter? His wife. And when your biggest fan is also your ride-or-die, you know the foundation is solid.
Now, he’s already plotting the next move. His upcoming mixtape, “FY2,” promises to pick up right where “FY” left off, delivering that gritty Southern flavor with a sharp lyrical edge. And while he’s rocked crowds of 50 so far, he’s eyeing bigger stages—specifically Atlanta, the mecca of modern hip hop.
In five years, WI$3 doesn’t just want to be an artist. He wants to be a mogul—a business owner, a traveling performer, and a name you see on every major playlist. Until then, he stays grinding in the booth, waiting for his moment to break out and never look back.
