Hacktivist

Hacktivist, formed in 2011, emerged as an unexpected force, born from the fusion of Timfy James' metal roots and local rapper J Hurley's sharp flow. What started as a "fluke" collaboration quickly evolved into a powerful union of rap and metal, breaking boundaries and igniting a passionate fanbase. Their self-titled EP in 2012, led by the viral hit "Unlike Us," skyrocketed them into the metal spotlight, with their raw sound and anti-establishment message. Known for their support of hacktivist movements, Hacktivist's music is a relentless blend of aggression, activism, and innovation, evolving through lineup changes but always staying true to their bold, genre-defying identity. With each release—like the heavy-hitting Outside the Box and recent tracks like "Rep the H"—they continue to challenge the status quo, ensuring their place at the cutting edge of both metal and activism.
