It's been a while since I posted something on this blog but believe I've been busy. I decided to recommit myself to staying strong and healthy so I've been exercising, eating right, and whatnot. I feel like I have more energy than ever and feel excellent. I've also been busy recording my next mixtape in the Hustlematic Is The Illest series. Vol. 3 is titled "Sidewalk Executive". I feel like its a very strong mixtape and should get great reviews. All this hard work has made me neglect posting on this blog. Dont worry tho, I'm back and it's ON!!

Hustlematic-Money, Sex, & Politics Album Review

noreply@blogger.com (Hustle Hill) — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 06:15:00 +0000

Life as an independent rap artist can be a trying experience. There are times you may not know which way is up but you have to keep pushing. But every so often you get reminders that you are working for something. Small victories that get bigger with each passing day. With that said, I'd like to share an album review written by Jeronimo at http://junas-addiction.blogspot.com. Sometimes people can show your efforts through their eyes to give you a better appreciation of your own art. Check out the review below, leave your thoughts and go check them out.

http://junas-addiction.blogspot.com

Here's my review of the new Hustlematic album “Money, Sex & Politics”…feel free to add in your two cents as well...

At first listen, he opens with…
“Big Business”
Staking his claim for his spot in the game not only next top his fellow Sactown peers but the greats and heavyweights as well. The Baby Bubb produced track is comprised of a tactfully laced piano sample coupled with echoing synthesizer loops and a walking bass line resembling an early 90’s Da Lench Mob anthem.

“In the Fast Lane”
This track is definitely very radio friendly and infectious, portraying the lifestyle of a superstar in every lyric. The beat is up tempo and Hustle’s delivery is also on point.

“Tennis Shoe Pimpin”
I’m ballin’ on a CA teacher’s budget and therefore have no Tennis Shoe Game and therefore I couldn’t really get into this track. I have too many kids to feed to worry about the newest shoe. However, it’s more about pimpin’ on foot than anything else. It’s a solid hood track.

“Mack Road”
This track details the everyday, long hard road that many of us have traveled on more than one occasion. “It was either grab mics or I could make the news for makin moves in the bing shaking fools…” This track details how Hustlematic paid his dues and earned his way into the game. It’s one of my favorites from the album.

“Concrete Rose”
The title is a play on words I’m almost sure is homage to the late great Lesane Crooks. The song is of the tragic trials and tribulations of a young lady in the ghetto. The song begins with a strong, melodic guitar riff and a laid back delivery perfect for a progressive storyline. Rose herself is the concrete foundation for her seeds. This tragedy is delicately orchestrated and by far my favorite track on the entire album. If you should listen to any one track off of the album may this be your first…

“Fast Money”
Fast money is ironically very laid back and smooth. It summarizes tracks one, two and three all in one but is not up to par with the first two. I think had the bass come in louder than the treble and the synth loop it would have hit more for me.

“No Strings Attached”
This is a great baby making track. It reminded me of some of that old school Isley Brothers in between the sheets music. It speaks volumes about exactly what the title represents. Strictly good loving without the terms of endearment.

“Turn You On”
This up tempo track is great for a club scene complete with the female chorus line reminiscent of some milkshake era Kelis. Although a catchy club song, Hustlematic displays his array of delivery by speeding up the flow for four minutes of funk on this one.

“World of Greed”
Beginning with a dedication to 2 Pac, Hustlematic begins his political tirade bashing the previous President in the Whit House. He then moves on to address issues such as propaganda on the news, genocide, war crimes, record companies, ignorance and much more. I’d like to see this track remixed with some Dead Prez features.

“Go Getter For Life”
This track reminded me of some early CJ Mac. Declaring his independence from major labels and his eternal hustle, he stakes his claim in Sacramento reaching out to the rest of the hip hop community to support their own. It’s been proven, if you want to make it in the game right now, independent is the way to go. Ten dollars for a CD is better than ten cents. Real talk…

“No Struggle, No Progress”
We all have to overcome our situations at some points in our lives. This track fully encompasses this idea and breaks down Hustlematic and many other people’s struggles from poverty to stardom and all of the decisions and moves he had to make in order to arrive where he is today. In order to understand the actions of the people around you, you need to know where they came from and what they are going through. Otherwise you are blinded by your own ignorance believing your own misconceptions.

All in all I recommend this album to anyone who enjoys that Westcoast G-funk sound mixed with conscious reality lyrics. I’d also recommend it for my club heads for the few club tracks on here as well. It’s not often that I find an independent artist nowadays that I would support like I would Hustlematic. He’s out in the streets, on the forums, on myspace, on twitter, on the blogs and deep in his hustle…

What's Your Opinion On Keepin It Real???

noreply@blogger.com (Hustle Hill) — Sat, 16 May 2009 02:20:00 +0000

I go to the website http://www.siccness.net pretty often. It's a good site for keeping up on the Northern California rap scene and rap music in general. Someone posted a thread asking for people to define their definition of real. I wrote a reply after reading a lot of the post and thought I'd share it with yall.

Threadstarter's Message

what is your definition of being real? the bart board is always full of threats and nonsense.the threads that stretch the longest are always an argument of some sort that turns into fake nigga this, fake nigga that, i'm in the streets, blah, blah, blah.the rappers always claim they are realer than the next.i'm really curious as to what you guys define as real.lets get a little positive feedback if possible.

My response (excuse the many F bombs)

PPL on the siccness never really pay attention to real shit. Only thug posturing and fatmouthing. Anybody that aint doin something to uplift themselves and they families is fake. I came from the gutter and I'm not afraid to say that sometimes I find myself right back there. Niggas is so hardbody in this shit that you almost cant tell real from fake no more. Niggas claim to sell bricks in every rap but you see em and somethin missin. I'm sorry but this music is entertainment. You supposed to put ya life in these records but not your criminal life. That's incriminating yourself and I dont believe in that at all.

Anybody wit real bricks aint bout to go in the studio and tell the FUCKING WORLD they got bricks. I'ma keep it real, I sold dope for a fuckin week. Realized the shit was fuckin up my community and stopped. I did gangbang for a bunch of years but that shit dont pay for shit. Niggas dying over a street none of em own shit on. Not even a fuckin car let alone a house. Keepin it real is bein yourself. If you a square ass nigga, be a square ass nigga. I see niggas that didnt gangbang as teenagers wait til they late 20's now niggas from the fuckin HOOD?!?! FUCK OUTTA HERE WIT THAT. Live ya fuckin life and quit tryin to impress the next man. Dont nobody respect a nigga that aint comfortable in his own skin. Me personally, I'm a fuckin rapper. not a killer (but dont push me) not a d-dealer, just a nigga tryin to feed my family the best and most independent way I can. That's real. I dont want my kids to live what I been through. That's why I dont live in my old neighborhood. I'd never want my son out here claimin no fuckin gang or sellin dope.

That's whats wrong wit black people we glorify the wrong shit. Meanwhile most businesses that cater to blacks aint ran by blacks. WTF. I go to South Sac and see nothin but Asian businesses. Almost no black business. It's fuckin sickening. I know it's like that all over the country too. Niggas too busy tearin shit up instead of buildin shit up. That's real. That's progress. That's something to leave ya babies when you gone. Not another cycle of dead black kids dyin for FUCKIN NOTHING. If killin ya own people is real then lump me in wit the fake. A lot of rappers is the worst cause they encourage kids to do shit they wouldnt dare do. Like I said it's fuckin sickening.

SERVE AND COLLECT ALMOST HERE

noreply@blogger.com (Hustle Hill) — Thu, 14 May 2009 16:07:00 +0000

I was listening to the songs I've recorded for my next album "SERVE AND COLLECT" and I'm realizing this CD is gonna be dope. I know I make dope music but this is my first major attempt at producing a record. I may work with other producers on this one but I'm not sure who. It's kinda hard for me to cash somebody out for a beat when I can go into the studio and make one myself. Anyway "SERVE AND COLLECT" is coming, the first single is being mixed and should be up and running in the next couple weeks. The song is called "RIDAH MUSIK" and it's been getting a lot of positive feedback. I produced the beat and it's a big accomplishment for me because I haven't been making beats that long. Stay tuned....

HUSTLEMATIC TV COMING SOON

noreply@blogger.com (Hustle Hill) — Thu, 14 May 2009 15:49:00 +0000

I will keep you posted when we will air for the first time. You can view the shows on the video player at the top of this page. Technology is making it to where independent musicians can get exposure. I am actually in the process of completing the graphics and branding so stay tuned....

R.I.P. P-FOLKS A REAL SACRAMENTO RAP GIANT

noreply@blogger.com (Hustle Hill) — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 18:25:00 +0000

Around 1999-2000 I started to hear about a brotha out of Sacramento tearin shit up outta North Highlands. I heard a song he had with Brotha Lynch and thought "this guy has a unique voice". Knowing that the Sacramento rap scene was pretty small, I knew I'd run into the guy at some point. His name is P-Folks. Finally I met him one day I was at Hitworks to book a session. We automatically recognized each other from flyers we had both put out in the streets. From there we was always cool anytime we linked up. We both had an appreciation for Baby Bubb beats so it was natural. In fact, P-Folks and Bubb was doin a album together and P-Folks asked me to get on it. We never did hook up to do that song (it's my fault) but had every intention to.

I opened my computer yesterday only to find out that P-Folks passed away. Another young life taken way too early. Like Skee 64 before him, P-Folks will be missed and a big part of Sacramento rap music was taken from us. I will miss P-Folks' cool demeanor with just the right amount of gangsta shit lurkin behind his eyes. P was cool with cats as long as they was cool. I truly regret never being able to put a song together with that man. It would of been a classic. I've taken a vow that from this day forward, if I say I want to work with you, we're gonna work. RIP TO A REAL SACRAMENTO RAP GIANT.....P MUTHAFUCKIN FOLKS.

noreply@blogger.com (Hustle Hill) — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 02:03:00 +0000

OK, Now it may seem that I'm a little more excited than maybe I should be but you have to understand where I'm coming from. I was born in Chicago, lived in Cabrani Green projects as a child, moved to Cali and been here since. I've done shows pretty much from say Seattle, WA to San Diego, CA. So it is somewhat beyond my comprehension why I seem to be selling records in Japan. Now I'm not complaining by any means. I just think it's beautiful that independent artists are empowered to the point where you can sell records in another country without promotion. If this keeps up I have to make some serious connects and get out there to do some shows. Picture me, Hustlematic, a nigga nobody thought would be shit rockin shows in JAPAN. Now that would be wild. I wouldnt give a fuck if 4 ppl showed up. Bitch I'm rippin shit down. Stay tuned....

Inauguration Speech and First Dance (My Thoughts)

noreply@blogger.com (Hustle Hill) — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 23:09:00 +0000

I had some problems connecting to the internet yesterday so I couldnt give my thoughts about this historic day. I was truly touched and inspired by the history that was clearly taking place before my eyes. There were so many people I was amazed by the support. I realized I had never actually watched an inauguration address or party. There were SO many people and everyone was genuinely touched by what they were seeing. I'm a bit angry with myself that I didnt see it in person but actually glad I didnt stand in that cold weather. I'm a Californian and 15 degrees is way too cold for us, even in Northern California.

Barack Obamas' speech was very inspiring and uplifting. We Americans must stand up and take charge of our country. We have to stop whining and get to work. That is the only way we will grow as a nation. I felt inspired to do my part to make my little section of America a better place. I felt inspired to make my family better and my life better. The United States will rebound, we just have to get back in the game. I watch far too many people thinking of the negative and not the positive aspects of life. We may be struggling but we could be doing much, much worse. As long as one guy can go to arbitration to get paid 18 MILLION for a year, the country is in good shape.

I watched the inauguration with the knowledge that this would be something I would remember for the rest of my life. Not so much the fact that he is black, but I'm simply inspired by the man. I wish him all the success and urge everyone not to expect quick results. Nothing worthwhile happens overnight and remember he is one man. He is not going to save the country alone. We have to do it, regular everyday Americans. And not the kind Sarah Palin was talking about (with her crazy ass). On another note, I could not help but feel a little nervous that there was some idiot out there who wishes this man harm. They rationalize it by saying they are fighting for our country. The reality is they are committing treason. Enough of the negative.

The first dance was real cool and you could see that Beyonce was clearly touched by the moment. 100 years from now someone will play that video and it will show Beyonce Knowles (or is it Carter) singing for the first black president and his wife. That's world history right there pimp. You gotta love that.

MY ALBUM IN AVAILABLE NOW

noreply@blogger.com (Hustle Hill) — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 06:34:00 +0000

After so many delays and setbacks I almost thought it would never come out my album is out. Money, Sex, & Politics. My third album. So much hard work went into this album. I genuinely feel like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. The album is available on ITUNES, RHAPSODY, AMAZON, EMUSIC, NAPSTER AND MORE.

I was going to release the album digital only but demand says the people want CD's too. If you know me, you know I work to please my fans. You never know how much time God is going to give you on this earth so you got to get it in while you can. Thank you to all of the people who have supported me, supported this album (even when I didnt believe in it), and supported my music since 1999. This is the first of many albums to be released thru my GoGetter imprint. I am 12 songs into my next album entitled "Serve and Collect" which should be released in May. I will keep you posted. In the meantime, enjoy Money, Sex, & Politics. If you enjoy it and you are just finding out about me cop my whole discography. The Gameplan and my self-titled debut album. The covers--------> will take you to Itunes where you can download the albums.

RIP Oscar Grant STOP POLICE BRUTALITY

noreply@blogger.com (Hustle Hill) — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 05:51:00 +0000

I know I'm late posting anything on this situation. When it happened I really didnt know how to react. I knew I was angry, depressed, concerned, shocked, and saddened when I saw an unarmed man begging for his life shot by people who are supposed to serve and protect. The man told them he had a daughter and didnt want to resist arrest or anything and they still shot him.

As a law-abiding, tax-paying black man it honestly scared the shit out of me. It could of been me. As a matter of fact I am Oscar Grant. We all are Oscar Grant. This is worse than the Sean Bell situation. At least Sean Bell didnt know his killers were cops. At least Sean Bell was not face down, handcuffed. Not to downplay his tragic death. I feel for his family. I feel for his daughter. STOP POLICE BRUTALITY.

In appoximately six weeks my third studio album "Money, Sex, & Politics" will be available online and in stores. I've been working hard on this album and after many delays and overthinking on my part it's finally ready. It's a little on the short side but definitely worth the money. January 12, 2009. No more delays, no more waiting. It's been a little of a rough ride but I had to release this album before I could move on to the next album which will also be released in 2009. 2 albums in one year? Yeah baby!! I guarantee it. I'm about 8-9 songs into the next album and will begin mixing in February 2009. I thank all my fans who have supported me over the years. Stay tuned. For now listen to some new songs I produced called "Fast Money" and "No Strings Attached". Dope music. Until next time.....

What's Good Pimp?

noreply@blogger.com (Hustle Hill) — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 03:02:00 +0000

Welcome to my personal blog. Part of my way of keeping up with all the technological advances that happen everyday. It's an exciting time to be a independent artist of any kind. I knew the internet would change the game but I had no idea it would be this fast and absolute.

When I initially decided to release my long-awaited album "Money, Sex, & Politics" it was mid-2003. We were still wondering how we would be able to gain a foothold and sell some CD's online without help from labels. No one really had any idea how we would be able to deliver a full length album to our audiences. Most people where still using dial-up internet so it took way too long to download a picture, let along an album.

Fast forward to 2008 and most of the tools for success are right at our fingertips. We can release albums digitally without having to manufacture CDs, print posters, flyers or any of the other traditional methods to release a album. I imagined a long time ago a situation for independent artists to find success without record labels. Now is the best time I have ever seen.

So to make a long post short, I am Hustlematic, I make rap music, I sell rap music, and I want you to buy some. I have this new blog where I will post my thoughts on certain things. I'll post new songs and videos from time to time and we will just go from there.....
