BEN HAYDEN AKA HUSKII - THE STORY (UPBRINGING, FAMILY, ADVERSITY, PRISON) 

Bro full respect to this man the fact that you just sit there and put it all on the table makes you a bigger man then 99% of us. I hope one day you find peace of mind brother.

This was a really good interview you can hear the pain in he’s voice, huskii is a humble person I meet him ones and he had a chat with me for ages not acting important then he invited me to bodybag media and hang out he’s legend 🐐🥤🔌

You kids hear this? Stop thinking this life is cool.. He ain't pouring it out so you can play it out ffs.. Look, listen, learn!

Huskii the realest thats all im gonna say

Trauma begets trauma.. just repeats and repeats.. It takes a ridiculously strong spirit to break that cycle..🙏🏼

His music really really does help soo many people. There’s not alotta artists who relate soo well to soo many people because of the messed up situations,thoughts,feelings etc but him man… he’s special ❤️

I just don’t know what to say dude. You’re stronger than you think. Pretty crazy after all this shit you haven’t gone completely cold, it’s rare and shows a lot of strength. It’s easy to shut off emotions and pretend like nothing affects you. It’s a lot harder to be honest with yourself but in the long term you get to experience life & love fully and I think that makes it worth it. Also I’ll always wait for u. To release shit better to do it right then rush it

Huskii has done well with his life, despite the cards he was dealt with.

Australia ain't never seen a rapper similar to huskii

The scene needs to look after brothers like Hiskii. Love them while there here!

Just so heavy... 9 minutes in and this is some very sobering stuff, post modern mayhem. I wish you nothing less than a safe, sound, good life. I hope you can REALLY find a much better place to at for whatever your future holds. Aim up, hold your head high and reach for at soul at peace in this world. Life is work. Life is wonderful. Live it mate, carry the message and don't stare back for too long.

Saw a podcast with Huskii recently so was super keen for this to drop, I love how the interviewer let him answer the questions and speak freely. Awesome video and mad love to Huskii for all the adversity he went through.

the real shit… proud of you ben 🖤

Very fortunate for us fans of Huskii we have such a unique artist we all love!!! But it comes at such an expense for Huskii who has to live with the pain he raps about everyday we love you Huskii #201 🖤

Crazy story, makes you realise your issues aren’t nothin compared to huskiis. Lots of respect for this kid becoming a man, real talk

Much respect, now its time to shine. Big ups for this interview and for the truth. Bless

Mind blown 🤯 your a legend Huskii, one of the best artists in this country lad 💯

Huskii anyone who has been through half of that stuff know’s that you deserve to be where you are headed in life. Can’t wait to see you get bigger and bigger. Some of that stuff ain’t easy to talk about, trust me. But there is a sense of relief once you do. Stay true ❣️

Most underrated rapper in aus, good to hear he’s story love this bloke

Huskii needs a movie. Check out his track with Scotty Hinds on Broken Tooth Ent. Dudes a natural on cam

this is one of the best interviews i ever watched, your music carries a whole new meaning now. 201. til the death, you a real one Ben

Wow… just wow, there will never will be another one like Huskii, everyone loves to talk about being real in the scene but hows this for real, much love Huskii we all love you and are all here for you no matter what, stay positive bro you are truly one of a kind

Confirmed what anybody who's properly listened to Huskii has known all along, homie is painfully self aware, insanely intelligent and has always been up front about how his raps are a cautionary tale and don't glorify a life he clearly didn't choose as a kid. Brain numb maybe, but heart on ya sleeve ❤️ King 👑

You can hear the pain in his voice, respect for speaking huskii

You can see the pain in the eyes. Keep going huskii 💪🏽💪🏽

This is the realest interview iv ever listened to buy a Aussie Performer! You can see the emotion in his voice and he doesn't spend the entire interview trying to big note himself he just lays it all on the line! And I have the most respect for this bloke because of that. Huski brother thank you.

I went to Acmena 🤣🤣got out couple weeks ago it’s boys centre too I’m a chick I went bc it was closet place to my home town learnt my lesson💯 stay outtt best advice I can give u realllll💋

this is so good, huskii is deadset the realest out. love it

Boom deadly yarn even if its a old yarn. I totally agree if fentanyl gets into our communites. Its going to be a fucked up cycle of death. Much respect my neph for your yarn

This is such a good interview

Mad respect, been a fan since day dot and this interview makes me respect and appreciate you that much more.

Good on ya for staying true bud. Hectic life and still made it to the other side. Don't stop doing what your doing.

one of the realest and i respect him for that thank you for your story inspiring

Love your work brother

My bad but I fucking felt the emotion cut like a sharp knife when he was talking about living w his grandparents and how they were the reason he had a heart and he knew they loved him :’)

This is not fair for a kid to grow up like that

Good to see he finally listening his cracker music, going from saying he releases music that he hates and never listens too, to saying he’s one of the best in the game.. keep it up 🤙

Thank you for sharing such a personal history. You’re making a difference brother. One Love

Huskii lad don’t ever stop being you my brah Absolutely fukn killing it Can relate to every beat u drop

You're the reason I get out of bed in the morning brother, I've had a similar life I spent my childhood visiting my family in max's on murder and heavy drug charges and running from them when they were out because you know yourself what these 130kg boobers are like when they are out. From the age of 6 years old I was ward of the state, hectic raids; had my own nan shoot at me and my mother when I was 8 years old because I didn't want to spend the night with her because she was having an episode. My whole family including myself are paranoid schizophrenics, I've been diagnosed with severe anxiety, ptsd and depression currently on bail under investigation and surveillance so my family won't speak tome because it is what it is and if you know, you know. I listen to your music every single day and support you 100%; give a fuck what anyone has to say about you or what you may think of yourself but to me, your a voice for me; for the kids like us that had a fucked up childhood. The kids that if my sister bashed me as a kid and I told my parents about it I got bashed for being a dog and she got bashed for being a bully. But keep doing what you're doing, keep fucking being you because it's made me feel okay to talk about some ill shit that I supressed for so long because I was labelled a weak cunt from my family if I spoke out about any form of feelings or not being okay. It's okay to not be okay, it's okay to feel like shit; it's okay to cut yourself up if that helps you because you don't have the confidence to talk to someone or don't have someone to talk to. I'm a tattooist from Geelong my snapchat is @Jnashx hit me up whenever or if ever you're down this way I'd love for you to wear some of my art and to get to meet you and talk to you on a human level na' mean. instagram: Bruceysavage if you wanna see my work, I work from home I done my apprentice work under Chris O'Tool, mentored by Jesse Dee, Jase Stewart, Rick Nosky, Smockbell big ups to them boys for giving me a go and I've been tattooing now for 9 years. But big ups brother, can't wait to hear your new shit. All love x

Guys a real one .I know exactly the type of ppl that he had to grow up with and be around .Its a truly fd up lifestyle for a youngster to grow up in .Much respect for being so candid and open about his personal demons and terrible experiences .We all make mistakes and f up but ppl don't realise the many reasons behind what we do and why .Kids need to talk to men like huski so they can steer clear of the road that he and i and many others have walked .Chin up G

That whole part at 19 min onwards hit cause I relate to that so fkn much

Huskii is a king for his transparency alone let alone the music. Respect. What he’s been through. Fuck.

respect this so much! So real and raw

God bless ya man, keep strong huski! zoku u doing amazing stuff man appreciate the work

Love the honesty this guy is straight up no Bs. Also he is also so humble and content with his situation even though he has been in literal hell. Also… He is a fucking dope lyricist too!

Big ups bro!! Your gonna be the biggest in Australia real soon no cap💯✅🥶

MAD LOVE AND RESPECT ❤

Love your honesty fella, thats why your kids love you..

been following huskii and all his music since 2017 after seeing toothache on fb, it’s crazing how far he’s come and how much he’s grown as a person man

Thank you for keeping it real huskii

“I been backwards since birth, the same accidents my dad did them first” That slow burn is even a slower burn after watching this Keep on going dude, your music helps people more than you know, it's a great outlet for people and know someone cares, keep on on the grind dude, all the best.

And to think this isn’t even half of what he has gone through. You are a fucking real one Huskii man, you have saved so many lost souls including mine. If it wasn’t for your music I wouldn’t be here today and that’s no bullshit. Love you bro and cheers for being you 💯

Big ups. Keep creating!

this guy is impressively switched on, for someone who’s had such a fucked up past he understands his own mind well

Wow what a legend getting through that . Respect big time

I remember huski kicking it at my apartment in parra, he helped me out a bit but man were we young. I was like 12 and had to do what I did to survive

Nothing but absolute love and respect Huskii we all love you brother

this is heartbreaking

the stories about his mum hit too close to home for me, big up huskii #201

Mad respect for Huskii. Mans a legend in the scene.

Hey Huskii bro, when ya start making real bank it would be good to get the money for the drugs you stole off my mate in Melbourne... He was gutted man he loved you and your music

Bro it’s so hectic to hear stories about other people who went through the foster system, it’s something ya never hear about and sometimes it’s so isolating because it feels like no one understands what that shits like. You’re an inspiration to me huskiiben, keep killing it

respect cuzzy there's also a lot of others out there that has had similar experiences and can't lay that shit out 💯 wish nothing but the best for you and your family brother.

Love ya man, big stuff! Hope a lot of people take a lot of shit away from watching this.

Never knew who Ben Hayden was until coming across this video. I respect you, your story of adversity, redemption and ambition. I never understood the feeling of love until my daughters love for me. I’m a new fan, power to you brother👊🏼

Keep learning to stay creative and grow from how real you're keeping it. This is the getting of wisdom. You can stay recidevous or put one foot in front of the other to get sone distance and deeper perspective. My heart is with you mate.

Respect bro, thanks for sharing your story with us. Huskii 💯 a real one.

bro thats fucked up, hope your doing well huskii - i was listening to your music non stop couple years back, wishing you all the best mate

Fantastic interview. Such honestly and great storytelling. Thanks for making this!

This was a mad interview

Truth is truth brother stay strong and move forward brother

I haven't seen a more genuine interview personality, we love you Ben

Can see his so broken 🥺 watching this makes me want to just give him a big hug! It amazes how unstable, messed up, junkie pricks bring children into the world and then who suffers for the rest of their lives? The kid like this poor bloke! But one thing mate is you are a fighter and you’ve come along way and should be proud of yourself. Best part of you is what a realist you are ❤️

doing well to still be here by sounds of it.

that upbringing is rough, idno how he sober today, takes a fucking lot to even talk about this shit. real glad to see him make it out, and come out ontop compared to the most. idno much about where he grew up but i know the hardships and struggles are everywhere so

The realist!!!!

Whatever breaks u wen you're young, deal with it without escaping to drugs & alcohol or you'll jst fk your life up & get old, it is what it is.....I felt that

Brother thankyou. Your so strong. I love your tunes and how tough you are!! I quit too and you are helping me so much every day. Keep being strong so I can follow xoxo

Mad respect bro

Already the best lyricist when it comes to the struggle addiction imho, but you just dropped your heaviest lines and they weren't even in a rap 💞 tip my cap to you adlay, incredibly brave and selfless thing for you to do. You'll never know all the lives you've changed for the better bra but using your pain to save somebody else having to experience it is bout as real as it gets 🤙🏻

If you listen to this and have a dry eye afterwards your not human!!. Full respect bruv

Personally the best rapper outta aus in the generation of rap. Big ups huskii

Namaste brother your story resonates

Last statement was the best one.🤘

That was rawwww as

Huskii fan from South Auckland, New Zealand 274

Best interview.. ups to the King!!!

Bro you have the most brutal story and to push through it. Always spitting the real shit which helps so many fucken people

This why huskii go hard 🔥 he real an lived it one of the realest and the goat of Aus 💯 love you bruv

Holy Fuck. No other words. 201

New found respect for Huskii man.

Fuck bro, like, I had mad respect Because of your tracks, without knowing anything of the details of your childhood.😥 How the fuck you are the man you are today, gives no one an excuse to complain. Respect bra.

Need to shake this man's hand one day. You can really see his pain and life experiences in his demeanor, soon to be a legend

Reallllll shit 💯💯💯💯

I knew that I loved her the day that I seen her, all black nails and a all black beamer 👌

Benny bro that was so honest and that takes big balls B, I’m inspired.

Lots of respect bro. Listen to your music all the time i can relate to your life so much brother it's nice to not feel alone especially nowdays feels like impossible to move forward because people hold you to your past with records and stuff and just get stuck in the same loop

Huskii is 10x more humble in person than people will ever know or give credit for. John Morony days, kept his head down and to himself but always showed respect. Keep going my brother!

This guy is an inspiration yo
