“Rebirth and Reconstruction” – The Journey of HtheOutlier
In the heart of Colorado, one artist has emerged with a raw, unapologetic sound that speaks to the trials and triumphs of life itself. Hagan Wessbecker, better known by his stage name HtheOutlier, is a unique force in the world of hip hop. His story is one of resilience, determination, and transformation.
HtheOutlier’s journey into music was inevitable. From a young age, he wasn’t dreaming of being an astronaut or cowboy. Instead, the allure of becoming a rockstar shaped his aspirations. “It’s been a lifelong dream,” he laughs. “As soon as I found rock music, everything else faded into the background.” This passion led him to pursue a career in music, eventually developing his own distinct style—a fusion of contemporary hip hop that speaks to the soul.
Throughout his career, HtheOutlier has racked up some major milestones, opening for legends like Baby Bash, Too $hort, and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. With connections to iconic figures such as Black Pegasus and Stevie Stone, it’s clear that he’s made his mark. But despite his growing success, HtheOutlier has stayed grounded. “I started alone, and I continue alone,” he shares, emphasizing his independent spirit.
The artist’s music is much more than just catchy beats and rhythms; it’s a message of rebirth and reconstruction. “I was an addict,” he admits. “My music is a reflection of rebuilding from the bottom up, and that’s something people can really connect with.” This authenticity resonates deeply with his audience, as they hear not just the artist’s sound but his story—a powerful reminder that transformation is always possible.
But like many artists, HtheOutlier’s journey hasn’t been without its challenges. One of his biggest hurdles? “Weeding out the fakes from the professionals,” he says, shaking his head. “I’ve had collaborations fall apart because the business wasn’t handled correctly. That’s part of the game.”
Despite the obstacles, HtheOutlier remains motivated. “Life itself keeps me going,” he laughs. It’s this mindset that has led to his success and continues to propel him forward. His constant social media engagement, from video snippets to behind-the-scenes moments, keeps fans engaged and eager for more.
As for what’s next, HtheOutlier is set to drop his new single, “I Don’t Wanna Wait”. Fans can expect more from this rising star as he continues to share his journey with the world.
