Haunted by Purpose: The Evolution of HYBRED 757

Welcome back to the Underground Nation Podcast, hosted by your host-with-the-ghost Bounce Ball Boogie — diving deep beneath the surface to showcase the rawest hidden talent in music, film, and hip-hop culture.
In this episode, we enter the dark and cinematic world of HYBRED 757 — a one-of-a-kind rapper, filmmaker, combat veteran, and horror-driven storyteller whose life has been shaped by trauma, war, adrenaline, and relentless creativity.
Born in Rota, Spain, and raised across the United States, HYBRED 757 never had the chance to put down roots. Constantly moving from school to school while growing up with pale skin and red hair, he quickly learned what it meant to feel like an outsider. That red-haired spirit inspired the stage name “HybRED,” which later evolved into HYBRED 757 to represent his new home in Virginia.
Military life runs deep in his bloodline. HYBRED served in the U.S. Army, deploying to Iraq multiple times and experiencing the harsh realities of war firsthand. Those memories — the pain, survival instincts, and loss — would eventually fuel the core of his writing style. After a career-ending knee injury and an unexpected discharge, he returned home battling PTSD, identity shifts, fatherhood challenges, and the search for adrenaline outside the battlefield.
He found it in street racing, physical fitness, filmmaking, and eventually horrorcore hip-hop.
But HYBRED 757 doesn’t simply rap — he builds universes.
Through his characters Lil Rory (his younger inner self) and Sinnister Rabbit (a twisted creation born from trauma), HYBRED merges reality with fiction to expose dark truths through humor, violence, and psychological horror. His music reflects everything he endured: abusive stepfathers, broken relationships, mental wars, reintegration after deployment, and the haunting weight of memories that never fully fade.
You may have seen his post-apocalyptic vehicles and costumes at Wasteland Weekend or watched him in film projects like A-Haunting or the indie short Fastlanders — a five-year grind made with zero budget, pure passion, and a desire to push boundaries. Now, he’s channeling that same fire into an evolving sound that refuses to copy the mainstream.
In this powerful and unfiltered interview, HYBRED 757 talks:
