Dre-Ski - Why We Hustle
Artist: Dre-Ski
Producer: The Common Wealth
Album: DJBooth.net & Ill Vibes Present: Calm Your Taste Budz
Label: Unsigned
On his last non-freestyle feature, It’s Getting Old, Dre-Ski sounded a little exasperated with the unceasing grind that comes with being an up-and-coming emcee. Fortunately for the Virgina Beach native and his fans, new mixtape leak Why We Hustle (making its world premiere right here in the Booth!) finds Ski fully re-energized and more driven than ever to claim his rightful place at the top of the game. A propulsive, soul-sampled beat by production group The Common Wealth keeps the momentum up as Dre delivers his determined bars, acknowledging the frustrations that are part and parcel of the independent grind but expressing confidence that the man upstairs has his back. Dre-Ski’s latest mixtape, the Booth-cosponsored Calm Your Taste Budz, is set to hit our front page February 5. In addition, fans should be sure to check back with us this Thursday, when we premiere the official music video for the emcee’s Booth-exclusive Hotline freestyle.

If you weren't excited about Dre's new mixtape before, we proudly premiere "Why We Hustle."
Dre's got his Lupe-flow on point here (I know I know, comparisons are stupid - but true) and the production work works well. Calm Your Taste Budz - 2/5/10.

Dope record here. His flow was sick and the beat felt right with the message of the song. With a song like this, I'm betting the mixtape will be just as tight.

the production was amazing i thought and like Z and Jadey all i could think apart from "wow" was how much of a Lupe flow he's got on this song.

Sorry @The 149th, I would've loved to but not enough time on my hands for next few weeks.
I recall liking his previous joints and this is no exception. Looking forward to this mixtape. |

Umm dope flow but when was it ever cool being in the industry or at least in attempts being compared to someone else or trying to sound like them cool? Carbon copies accepted?
