An audacious trumpet solo, played over the beginning of Lil Wayne's 2008 hit 'A Milli,' has taken the college football world by storm as fans gear up for the season.
Herbie Hunkele has been using his trumpet to add a different vibe to popular songs for years. He had already connected with thousands of fans, but not like he did with his July 7 Instagram post.
He ***** led it "A Milli but Wayne trusted me to start the song for whatever reason." It's fitting that he used that song when considering the exposure -- the post with him playing with the song has more than 1.7 million likes and been reposted more than 337,000 times. It has more than 4 million likes on TikTok.
College football fans were hooked and eventually, programs caught on. Mississippi State was first, posting a hype video with the audio that now has more than 90,000 Instagram likes on July 13. Mississippi State has even invited Hunkele to perform live at its opener September 5 against Louisiana-Monroe.
