Hak

Every Tuesday, Interview’s Talent Show showcases new faces performing new talents.

“I was born in the ocean and adapted to life ashore,” raps Hak on Ratking‘s debut album, So it Goes. Born and raised in New York, Hak (Hakeem Lewis) is part of one of the city’s most promising hip-hop acts. Since Ratking formed in 2011, Hak and his two bandmates Wiki and Sporting Life have collaborated with King Krule and toured with Earl Sweatshirt and Run the Jewels. One thing you might not know about Hak, however, is that he’s something of a yogi.
