In a city with a rich musical history, a new voice is making waves. Meet Atilla Haynes, the Philadelphia rapper who’s unapologetically himself and ready to take the world by storm.
Growing up in Philly, Atilla was surrounded by music from a young age. He watched as his sister performed and created mixtapes, sparking a love for the art form that would only grow with time. But it was Kendrick Lamar who truly inspired him, motivating Atilla to pick up the mic and spread his own message.
“I want everyone to know my name,” Atilla says, his ambition clear. “I hope my words can touch someone’s heart, or at least make them feel something.”
Atilla’s music is a reflection of his personality – goofy, humble, and sometimes cocky. He’s unapologetically himself, refusing to put on a facade for the sake of his image. This authenticity shines through in his lyrics, like in his favorite line: “I’m a sinner, you a sinner, just a different type. You called me a loser, called me a failure, you were far from right.”
Atilla’s latest single, “Sapphire,” is out now on all platforms. The song showcases his unique voice and style, offering listeners a glimpse into what he’s capable of. But he’s not resting on his laurels – big plans are in the works for his next project, though he’s staying tight-lipped on the details for now.
Fans can keep up with Atilla on Instagram @monglianMike, Tiktok @atillavii, and Reddit @Sirduggle. With his unapologetic attitude and undeniable talent, Atilla Haynes is a name you’ll be hearing a lot more of in the future.
