Hustle & Thrive | The Super Professionals EP

Chapter Thrive and Charly Hustle, the collaboration between the two makes sense. Partnered up during shows; an impromptu team of friend helping out a friend, up turned into a contagious high energy performance. Working alongside both Hustle & Thrive was always a good time, seeing either of the two on a Scratch event poster meant that night was going to get 'super professional'.

The SociaList Toast released December 2012, celebrated the good times at Scratch and the birth of the Super Professionals working together. After listening to The SociaList Toast, I wanted more from Hustle & Thrive.

Hustle & Thrive recently released The Super Professionals (coined by Chad Reynolds after the two-piece finished a slightly intoxicated performance in the U of S Beer Gardens), a collection of topics of a young man's daily life backed by fun, up tempo, smart, high energy table work and wordplay. What I really like about The Super Professionals EP is that you get a very similar vibe that you would get from a live performance by Hustle & Thrive... and their live performances are top notch, that says a lot.

Do yourself a favor... pick up this 'seasonal depression pick me up' for whatever price you feel it is worth, run victory laps around 'Victory Lapse', and Enjoy!

Something from Nothing: The Art of Rap Trailer

This film was directed by Ice-T to educate and show the viewer, what hip hop is and why it is around. Many different artists (Dr. Dre, KRS-One, Nas and Kanye West) from different eras are involved with the documentary so we will get to see the progression of hip hop as well. I am excited to see the perspectives of hip hop and its culture from many different artists. It is expected to release on June 15, 2012

I swear they don't make it like they used to, especially the Top 40 Hip Hop tracks. Last night I went on a huge nostalgia trip listening to all these old tracks.









Dang.
