King Hurst isn’t just rapping for the numbers. For the Manchester, Connecticut native, music is a mirror—one that reflects the attitude he brings to life every day. His latest single, “Him.,” is all about owning your confidence, staying true to yourself, and leveling up—not against everyone else, but against who you were yesterday.“I wanted to make something hype, something people could just vibe to,” King says. “It’s not about being better than everyone in the room. It’s about being the best version of myself, and having fun with it.”
That philosophy pulses through every bar. “Him.” is the sound of self-belief, but it’s not cocky. It’s more like King looking in the mirror and reminding himself—and anyone listening—that consistency and authenticity go a lot further than trying to fit in. The song is packed with energy and swagger, but there’s a wink behind it all; this is King having fun, flexing his skills, and showing off a bit of the versatility he’s been working on.
He’s not alone on the track, either. “As soon as I heard the beat, I thought of my friend MGuapo,” King says. “He just fit. He brought a whole new vibe to it.” The result is a song that feels like a late-night drive with friends—hype, effortless, and impossible to sit still to.
Don’t overthink it. “Him.” isn’t a diss track, or a manifesto. It’s the sound of King Hurst leveling up, having fun, and inviting listeners along for the ride. If you’re looking for something to get your head nodding and your self-esteem up, hit play.
Manchester’s got something to say—and King Hurst is just getting started.
