“Let every tear be a prayer…” Hulvey has emerged as a rising star at the intersection of worship & hip-hop — a growing niche audience with mass appeal. His intimate, intentional worshipful lyrics paired with heavy basslines and choir-tuned singable hooks distinctly sets him apart.
Hulvey’s message in his newest LP “CRY” is expressed in the phrase: ‘Every drop means something.’ This album serves as a reintroduction, featuring select collaborators (Samm Henshaw, Forrest Frank, and Torey D’Shaun), allowing Hulvey’s vertical themes and talent to shine over his carefully crafted sample-driven beats.
“CRY” unfolds in three thematic chapters: COMMUNION, REFLECTION, and YEARNING — each representing a different aspect of his journey with God, others, and himself. He bravely confronts topics such as poverty in God's Kingdom with the track "World Hunger," and delivers an empowering message in "Poor Party." His vulnerability shines through as he speaks about his battle with "Anxiety," while "Letter 2 The Game" pushes back against the conventions of rap. Musically, the project offers a rich array of soundscapes, featuring live instrumentation in songs like "Top Spinnin" and "Roses." He concludes his sophomore album with childlike wonder at God's work in "Miracles," and leaves fans with a powerful final anthem in "Battle Cry."
“CRY is my invitation for us all to embrace vulnerability as a path to deeper connection and faith. I think it is the definitive Hulvey album. There is a song for everyone,” says Hulvey. “My hope is that listeners are comforted in these songs, recognizing that their tears are not in vain but are a powerful expression of their journey with God. He knows you, He loves you and He desires to walk with you. Let every tear be a prayer.”
