Hellmerry

Career

Hellmerry first entered the music scene in 2021 with the track "444," and soon after linked up with Young God Records. In January 2022, he dropped "WILLY WONKA," a song produced by DAARTH, who also delivered the first verse. The music video featured a masked figure credited as YXXNG GXD, though the person behind the mask was never officially identified. The following year, Hellmerry teamed up with labelmate Shanti Dope on "Y.G.G.," a West Coast hip-hop-inspired party track.

The pair, both signed to Young God Records, reunited for "Pull Up," which came out on October 25, 2023, via Universal Records. Around that time, Hellmerry also put out the music video for "WATCHUMEAN," a collaboration with Buddahbeads. Riding the momentum of songs like "DAB (Leaked Interlude)," "4:AM," and "Thai Freestyle," he signed with Sony Music Philippines.

2024–present: BLUDEVL

In 2024, Hellmerry dropped his debut EP, BLUDEVL, on August 10. The seven-track project featured appearances from Tommie King, Gaspari777, Baby G, and Zo Fuego, plus a collaboration with Al James on "Tequila Rose." The EP includes "Buckshot," "YG'z," "Gangsta Baby," "Fast Cash (Interlude)," "Regrets," "Pano Ba?," and "I'm Blessed." That same year, he was named to the Billboard Philippines Hip-Hop Class.

In March, he joined the Numinous X Asintada Australian Tour alongside Gloc-9, Flow G, Skusta Clee, Shanti Dope, John Roa, and Omar Baliw. December brought "My Day," his first track to hit the Billboard Philippines Hot 100, debuting at No. 57 and entering the Top Philippine Songs chart at No. 22. It later climbed to No. 5 on the Top 25 Philippine Songs chart and ranked No. 1 on the Billboard Philippines Monthly Top 10 Genre Countdown for hip-hop.

On April 5, 2025, "4:AM" entered the Hot 100 at No. 92, and its music video hit No. 1 on YouTube's music category around the time of a Billboard Philippines review. Hellmerry earned a nomination for Hip-Hop Song of the Year at the Filipino Music Awards and was ranked No. 9 on Billboard Philippines' list of its Top 10 Artists. In September, he appeared on Sica's "No Info" alongside Scoop Dogg, and in November, he featured on Scoop Dogg's "Blue Maserati." In October, "Gangsta Baby," his collaboration with Baby G from BLUDEVL, entered the Philippines Hot 100 at No. 82.

Musical styles and influences

Hellmerry says he is open to working across genres like trap, lo-fi, G-funk, Memphis rap, and Afrobeats, as long as he connects with the style. Before moving into hip-hop, his early listening included rock genres such as grunge and nu metal. He has named Stick Figgas, Shanti Dope, Bugoy na Koykoy, Gloc-9, Al James, and Flow G as Filipino artists he followed before starting his own music. In a review of "4:AM," Billboard Philippines' Kara Angan highlighted his gentle vocal delivery, melodic rap approach, and use of piano and string instruments.
