In partnership with Maison Filipi

In the chaos of the modern music industry, where talent and turbulence often go hand in hand, Canadian artist Hurt Season is a name that’s sparking both curiosity and controversy. Fresh off the release of his Snoop Dogg-hosted mixtape MB4Everything, which features collaborations with names like Ace Hood, Hurt Season is making waves in unexpected ways.
Manager Filip Filipi shed light on the complex journey of the enigmatic artist, detailing his rapid ascent and the hurdles he has encountered.
From the Streets to the Studio
“During the three-month mixtape production, Hurt Season spent minimal time in the studio. The rest of the time, his life was marked by significant challenges that included personal struggles.” Filipi explains. “With the decision to change direction, a remarkable transformation occurred—his prolific output soared to three songs a day. He channels what some call ‘illnesses’ into what I consider superpowers.”
These so-called superpowers manifest vividly in Hurt Season’s latest offerings. His mixtape presents a raw, gritty insight into his chaotic existence, but it is his debut single, The End, that is captivating industry insiders.
A Single He Didn’t Believe In
Initially skeptical of The End, Hurt Season’s perspective transformed after Filipi negotiated a substantial advance, aligning with those typically reserved for established artists. “Seeing its potential, he fully embraced the project,” Filipi notes.
The End stands as a poignant anthem, echoing his struggles, with its haunting lyrics and unique production drawing parallels to a Canadian Post Malone or an indigenous PARTYNEXTDOOR. The track was temporarily pulled from streaming platforms as negotiations for a significant feature continue.
A Life on the Edge
Hurt Season’s life mirrors the raw intensity of his music. Filipi shared a harrowing incident: “He had a serious car accident which resulted in him being rushed to emergency care. Despite serious injuries, he left the hospital shortly after receiving initial treatment.”
His existence, often resembling a tragic narrative, holds promise amidst the chaos. “His distinct appearance has caught the attention of modeling agencies,” Filipi adds. “If he can harness his turbulent energy, his rise to stardom could be imminent.”
From Here to Stardom?
With his mixtape gaining momentum and The End set for mainstream acclaim, Hurt Season is at a potential tipping point. Filipi acknowledges the fragile equilibrium: “His raw talent is undeniable, but harnessing his chaotic energy is crucial for his success.”
As the world watches, it remains to be seen whether Hurt Season will navigate through these tough times.
