Hus KingPin
Hus Kingpin (born Cory Atkins, April 12, 1982), also known as Hus "Wavo" Kingpin or Lord Wavy, is an American rapper, lyricist, and entrepreneur celebrated for his evocative, gritty contributions to the underground hip-hop scene. Hailing from Hempstead, Long Island, New York, with roots in Brooklyn, Hus emerged in the mid-2000s as part of the duo Tha Connection alongside SmooVth, gaining international traction through releases on labels like Japan’s Goon Trax and Switzerland’s Feelin’ Music. His career, spanning over two decades, is marked by a prolific discography—over 40 projects by 2025—blending boom-bap aesthetics with cinematic storytelling and a distinctive wavy, off-kilter flow. Notable for his collaborations with Roc Marciano, Madlib, and 9th Wonder, Hus has cultivated a sound that bridges New York’s golden era with modern underground sensibilities, earning praise from outlets like Stereogum, Bandcamp Daily, and The Source. Now based in Los Angeles, his work with his crew #TheWinners and his label Wavo 3000 reflects a relentless drive to innovate, making him a pivotal figure in the genre’s evolution as of March 23, 2025.
