Let's make this birthday one to remember.

54 years old (Born on July 01, 1970)

Happy Birthday, Hype Williams! You've turned every frame into visual gold, from Puffy's smooth moves to Jay-Z's iconic swagger. If you made aging look as slick as your videos, we'd all be excited to get older!

With decades of groundbreaking visuals behind you, your recent projects still remind us that you're the master behind the lens. On this special day, may your celebrations have as much style and flash as a Hype Williams-directed video—plenty of shine but no shaky cameras allowed. Here's to another year keeping hip-hop visually fresh and unforgettable; keep those bright lights rolling!
