BEHIND THE HUSTLE - BUILDING AN INDUSTRY RECAP (VIDEO)

I took some photos at this event and now Behind the Hustle drops their recap video on the dope event.  This gives a more in-depth look at what they were looking to do with this event.  It's necessary because things like this give the youth a better idea and direction of how to make their way through these industries.  I talked with Mega about this event and he said these are much needed across the board.  Hoping to see more soon.  Be on the lookout for more events and content from Behind the Hustle right here.

BEHIND THE HUSTLE presents BUILDING AN INDUSTRY w/ BLVCK SCVLE, CROOKS & CASTLES and DIAMOND SUPPLY CO. (PHOTO RECAP)

A private closed event went down at Attic this Saturday as Behind the Hustle presented a career panel for aspiring streetwear designers.  The panel featured the homies Mega of Black Scale, Nick Diamond of Diamond (of course) and Dennis from the Crooks & Castles family.  They spoke on starting out, influences, obstacles, how they got to where they are now as well as insider secrets.  They also fielded questions from the packed audience and UStream viewers.  Shouts to TK Nguyen and his crew as well as the folks at Attic for doing a such a dope event.  Shouts to IM King also because they powered The Lime Truck that was on hand to feed the guests (and that display that I saw Alex of IM King put together by hand still standing tall in the store).  Swaggiest highlight of the day, the homie Mega's socks.

DROOP-E : BLVCK DIAMOND LIFE (MIXTAPE DOWNLOAD)

After hearing about the concept, knowing the people backing it and then seeing the video...I feel like this is a cool project to check out:

Acclaimed rapper/producer and son of legendary E-40, Droop-E, has mixed street with soul by sampling Sade classics to create a fresh, new sound for his latest mixtape:  BLVCK Diamond Life.  

Droop-E’s ability to create intricate rhymes, original concepts and, most importantly, go after his own artistic vision prove that he is a force to be reckoned with in the rap industry.Hailing from a family of rappers, Droop-E’s natural penchant for rapping and producing demonstrate that talent runs in his DNA. - Cashmere

Blvck Diamond Life - Droop-E

DROOP-E f. E-40: I'M LOADED (MUSIC DOWLOAD)

E-40’s son Droop-E is proving that talent runs in the family with the release of the latest single, “I’m Loaded.” The track features his father E-40 and samples the legendary Sade-- creating a melodic and original sound true to Droop-E’s own style.

The track is off of Droop-E’s upcoming mixtape BLVCK Diamond Life which is dedicated to all Sade samples. Droop-E may still be young, but his unique style of music and innovative concepts are already being labeled as “brilliant.” As a young talent dedicated to producing quality music, there’s no doubt that there is a bright future ahead for Droop-E. - Cashmere
