Rick Ross’ now-classic “Hustlin'” gets a Hustlers’ Convention-style* reworking in the hands of Australian DJ Phaze.

Chopping and blending the Ross acapella (double-time) over the authentic live UK funk of Speedometer brings a retro freshness to Ross’ rap. Backed by struttin’ guitars, congas, and a cool flute lead, suddenly Rozay’s Isaac Hayes-style gold framed shades make a whole lot more sense…

*If you’re not already familiar with it, the original Hustlers Convention is a 1973 side project by spoken-word innovators The Last Poets, backed by none other than Kool & the Gang (and sampled by the Beastie Boys, Steady B., A Tribe Called Quest, Main Source, DJ Food, and the Jungle Brothers, among others).
