ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: HUSTLE BOY

LOLA — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 21:57:30 +0000

It’s often said that nothing can be accomplished without some sacrifice or hardship. In hip-hop’s case, there’s always been a deliberate entanglement of over coming some obstacle or changing one’s own supposed predestined future. In the case of Brandon “Hustle Boy” Brewer that hardship has proved to be realer than any other story you could possibly string together. With words of failure instead of encouragement spoken to him, a life full of shuffling from one place to the next, and an uncertain path, he was a person striving for a balance. That balance would come in the form of music.

Honing his craft quietly for more than 10 years, Hustle Boy finally attracted the attention of United Strtz Entertainment owner Debo Brightwell, who after hearing from his nephew D’Anthony about the rhyme slingers undiscovered talent, took a chance and has now named him the new face of the United Strtz Entertainment’s movement. Headed by partners Brightwell and Malik Fosterbey , the United Strtz Entertainment has already received a number of endorsements by some of today’s leading industry professionals.

“He’s got something here,” says Block CEO and Owner of Block Entertainment, one of Atlanta’s premier labels. “He’s recorded about 15 songs and has more singles than other artist who have recorded well over 100.”

Motivated by goals to break what he calls the “curse” of his family’s situation, do to their lack of resources and opportunities, Hustle Boy looks to make the industry take notice.

With something for everyone and the struggles of his past apparent in his music, Hustle Boy should be the name on everyone’s lips by the end of 2008. Where his future will go is uncertain but unlike his past one thing he has is the stability in United Strtz Entertainment.

Lexilex — Sun, 26 Aug 2007 22:40:32 +0000

As fans of contemporary Hip-Hop (as I’d like to call it), artist such as Lil’ Wayne, Young Jeezy, 50 cent, and T.I. have all gained our love and support and would argue a sucka down for bad talking our favorite artist. In fact, someone who might have a strong dislike for these cats would definitely just sit quiet during a discussion on Hip-Hop culture knowing that it is a loose-loose situation. However, if you’re an underground artist such as Stress – you’re not the one to be biting your tongue at all. In fact, this artist explicitly called out all of your favorite artist in a recent interview with myself and one of my co-host from the Get Fresh Crew. I know, 47 minutes seems like a long time for an interview but when it’s fire being thrown like that, you know it’s declaring war.

Murda Mook vs Dice

Murda Mook vs. Dice Pt 1

Murda Mook vs Dice Pt 2

Yow is it me or ever since the Murda Mook vs Loaded Lux battle Mook has not been the same. It seems as if he’s been fallen off or maybe it’s just me or maybe it’s because he keeps on recycling the same rhymes. Dice is a new cat and mook was having trouble with him. Mook should stop battling and start working on his music if he really wants to make into the rap game. Since SMACK he’s still the only one not making any major moves, Serius Jones got signed to DTP, Loaded Lux is on fire right now and is killing mixtapes working with many different DJ’s not to mention he’s on 106 and Park Freestyle Friday 5 weeks in a row and is about the go for his 6th and final week. This Murda Mook vs Dice battle was kind boring I’ve seen 106 and Park battles that were more entertaining.Give us your feedback on th Murda Mook vs Dice battle.

SHOP BOYZ CHANGE THE GAME…ARE YOU A ROCKSTAR?

Daytona – Underground Artist

videoblogger — Wed, 03 Jan 2007 17:18:00 +0000

Yes Yes I’m back on my underground artist shit, even though Daytona is a underground artist and does not yet have a record deal, it doesn’t seem to affect him at all. He still manages to get spins on radio stations such as Hot 97. His latest joint (which is fire) “Home Boy” ft Jim Jones gets at least 12 spins a day on Shade 45 (Sirius Satellite Radio). His rap style is different from what you might usually hear which is one of the reasons he stands out from all the other rappers that are out right now that have the same flow followed by 16 bars of punch lines.
Dj Cipha Sounds from Hot 97, MTV and Shade 45 realizes Daytona’s unique style and has teamed up with the rapper to get his stuff out to the public. They are taken it slow so the listeners get use to hearing him so when he does become mainstream they will be more willing to hear something out of the norm. The buzz that he has created already has him opening up for Rick Ross and Chris Brown. All this without a major record deal is not a easy thing to do especially if you haven’t put out tons of mix tapes. His flow is a little unusual or maybe it’s not, maybe we’ve just gotten use to hearing the same thing over and over, but the way he raps sort of reminds of how Slick Rick use spit back in the day, their voices are very similar. He is definitely on the right track and you can be sure that you will hear allot more from this cat in the future. Especially with Cipha Sounds playing his record every chance he gets, not to mention Cipha not only has access to Shade 45 but Hot 97 as well and that is allot of exposure for a artist without a deal. Daytona is doing with Cipha Sounds the same thing Papoose did with Kay Slay….which is the best way to these days.

Of course you know I’m not gonna let ya go without hearing a couple of his latest shit, so check them out below and let me know what ya think…….I’m out.
All Dem ft Bobby Condass – This one is really old in New York.

Reed Dollaz (He Might be The Best Rapper in Philly)

videoblogger — Mon, 20 Nov 2006 13:05:00 +0000

Reed Dollaz reppin the Topklass crew, a very well known and respected underground rapper from South West Philadelphia has been putting it down on the mic since he was 16, I first saw him on Freestyle Friday at 106 and Park a couple of years ago where he was disqualified because he said the “N” word. He would have won if he did’nt get disqualified, Since then he has evolved into a full blown MC and many are saying he might be the best underground rapper in Philly and I agree, I’ve been watching this kid for long time and he grows more and more every time he rhymes. He climbed his way up through winning rap battles and spitting hot freestyles and recently as been gettig even more exposure due to his on going BEEF (Rivalry) with another hot underground Philadelphia rapper by the name of Joey Jihad a.k.a Jihaddy from the Go Gettas crew. They have been back and forth for a while and they have together brought allot of attention to Philly and the east coast, with the current hip hop drought in the east coast, the underground scene is definitely delivering what is missing from the game, which are the lyrical MCs. Pay attention to Philly the next couple months, I wouldn’t be surprised if the next lyrical rappers to get signed comes from Philly. Check out one of Reed Dollaz many freestyles below, allot more to come.
