SackRight Hinch pulled up to The Baller Alert Show with health, wealth, and a story of resilience. The South Carolina rapper joined Ferrari Simmons and BT to share how his journey from incarceration to international hustle is shaping both his music and mindset.
Fresh off a trip to Paris, SackRight revealed he wasn’t just there for the vibes. “We went to check the music scene,” he said. “We’re about to open up a shop out there.” Flying from Spartanburg to France to scout opportunities is a major flex, and SackRight is moving like someone who knows what he wants.
The name “SackRight” came from his time behind bars, a moniker given to him by a fellow inmate after they started making moves together. The name stuck, and so did his drive. “I started really taking music seriously when I came home. My homeboy Slime Dollars told me to go hard with it before he got locked up again. So I kept it going.”
SackRight also gave a nod to his growth, touching on how he bounced back from being broke and behind. “Most people would’ve gave up hope. I had to start over from scratch,” he said. “But I had people counting on me. If I don’t hustle, nobody around me eats.”
Music, he says, is his therapy. While others turn to substances or distractions, SackRight finds peace in the studio. “It’s how I vent. That’s how I express myself,” he explained during the Mental Health Check-In segment, sponsored by The Faith Project.
Looking ahead, SackRight has new heat dropping soon. His single “Life of a Tribe” featuring BH and Peasy is on the way, with his King of the Hill mixtape following closely behind. While he lets his team help pick the singles, he’s hands-on in the process and locked in on keeping the momentum going.
When it comes to staying safe while navigating the industry, especially for artists trying to leave the streets behind, SackRight keeps it simple: “Stay working.” For him, staying in the booth keeps him away from trouble. “The minute you stop working, there’s no income. That’s when you start thinking about going back to the streets.”
He closed out the episode with love to his team and hometown, giving a shoutout to JB Young and the growing wave of talent out of South Carolina. “They waking up now,” he said. “We been had a movement. The support is just catching up.”
