Interview Conducted by West Haven Blast (2017)
DubCNN: DubCNN checking in with West Coast hip-hop emcee on the rise, Hustlematic. What’s good fam?
Hustlematic: Everything good, I’m fresh out the Fed’s, just touched the turf March 30th, 2017.
DubCNN: Ok fam. You have recently been released from serving time. Can you tell us a little about this situation, and how you maintained to stay focused on your career in this unfortunate situation?
Hustlematic: Yea I got caught up in 2013 for conspiracy to distribute meth. While I was down I continue to write music and practice in the music room. My wife and kids held me down and kept my spirits high. I still was connected to the music industry through my homie King T, and I ended up hooking up with Big Jess from ‘Watts Up Production’, through his cousin whom I was locked up with, Big Gene.
DubCNN: How did you get your start rapping? And what made you want to pursue music as a career?
Hustlematic: I’ve been rapping since I was 12, and it was something I always loved to do. My cousin Wino produced for Coolio. I was able to see first hand that you can bubble off of talent.
DubCNN: What projects are you currently working on Hustlematic? And what can hip hop fans expect?
Hustlematic: Im just wrapping up my mixtape “Federal Reserve”, with features from my 2 son’s Leslaflame, & Sky Dweller Space. And my homie Westtsew (west west). And hip hop fans can expect that unorthodox flow, and prototype delivery that I’m known for.
DubCNN: What was your experience like, growing up on the West Coast; in your particular city?
DubCNN: How would you describe your style?
Hustlematic: My style is really a one off. I don’t think I really sound like nobody and I’m in a lane of my own because of what I talk about. Most D-boy rappers rap about coke. I rap about meth because that was my hustle, so you can say I got that meth music.
DubCNN: Which 5 hip-hop artists, would you say have inspired you the most?
Hustlematic: King T, MC Eiht, Eazy-E, Brotha Lynch Hung, and E-40.
DubCNN: You have been working with some major players in the hip hop game including, E-40. Can you tell us a little about these situations?
Hustlematic: Yea I met King T through one of my cousins in 2007, and we’ve been friends since then. I get most of my production from him and Poetic Beats. Big Jess, from ‘Watts Up Production’, has been blessing me with slappers for my LP, “By Any Means Never Scary”. I hooked up with E-40 through his cousin, “Hot”, in Las Vegas. He heard what I was working with and was down to do a song with me.
DubCNN: What other projects does Hustlematic have on deck for 2017?
Hustlematic: My mixtape “Federal Reserve” is dropping the 16th of June. And my LP, “By Any Means Never Scary”, is dropping September on ITunes. I have some music ventures coming up with King T also, so stay tuned.
DubCNN: Where can fans find you on social media?
