Hustlers are businessmen. And about 90% of rappers came up from hustling. They know how to turn over a dollar and how to recognize a good deal. They may not all speak proper English, but they speak proper money. That’s a language you learn when you come from the streets. You can’t hate them for being ambitious and enterprising. Im starting my own line called GRIND HARD CLOTHING.
