They are young, they are talented, and they are known as
Educated Hustlers. Educated Hustlers
is a Hip-Hop duo hailing from Tallahassee. The duo is comprised of Justin
Harris (Stage name Timbo) and James Wright (Stage name J. Write) and both are
graduates of Florida A&M University. It was through their fraternity Phi
Beta Sigma, Incorporated where the duo met and started creating music together.
Hip-hop fans that appreciate southern artists such as Big
Krit, Bun B, David Banner, Devin the Dude, and the popular rap group OutKast
will connect with their music. Their sound embodies the southern culture of
glossy cars, good marijuana, and having a great time with friends.
However, do not put these two in a set category or consider
them as bubble gum rappers only rapping about money and a fast lifestyle.
Attached to the wonderfully produced beats are soulful conscience lyrics. Their
lyrics have a true message behind them, such as the music industry agenda to
promote a detrimental lifestyle to the people. They also have an interlude
dedicated to the injustice pertaining to the Trayvon Martin case and the racial
ignorance that is still prevalent in our country.
The versatility that Educated Hustlers possess is their
strength. The ability to speak upon social injustices and conscience ideas and
still sound credible when making feel good music for the masses is a hard feat
to accomplish, but they accomplish it well. Their latest mixtape D.O.P.E.
(Doing Our Part as Emcees) is a great example of their versatile skills. Take a
listen to tracks like HITW (Hole in The Wall), Pimps Up Hoes Down feat. Le$,
and Pause feat. Jax they are personal favorites that exemplify their talent.
The future is bright for these emerging Hip-Hop artists. If
they continue to stick to their strengths and continue to produce quality
music, the music industry will have to make room for these rising stars.
Remember, good music should be a standard not an option.
