"Love Hustle Hate" is a Southern hip-hop album from The Pearl, a talented female emcee who brings a timeless passion to the table. The lyrics on this album are poetic, and the vocal performances possess an undeniable angst and energy similar to Da Brat and Lauryn Hill. The subject matters vary, but true-to-life content about The Pearl?s life struggle interweaves itself throughout the album. The Pearl?s sound is truly unique, with the addition of raw punk elements to foundation of street beats and techno, a pretty powerful combination to say the least. ?Love Hustle Hate? has superior production, and the sound is really intensified with a great mix. Highlights include "Get Ready (featuring Musclehead)," which has a dark, punkish bass line, powerful vocal performances, and tricky beats that give the listener their first taste of The Pearl?s rawness. "Rock, Black Man, Rock" is a killer punk/techno song with poetic, creative spoken word lyrics. "Da Grind" is a haunting track, with despair to spare. ?Love Hustle Hate? is an impressive album from a unique and poetic female emcee. If you enjoy innovative Southern hip-hop with a punk flare, give The Pearl a listen.
Many people make the mistake of waiting on opportunities to come to them. They also dismiss many events, places, and chances to reinvent themselves. Do not be afraid. Embrace each opportunity. Mold each event, place, and reinvention to fit your talent.
Some things are meant to help you grow as an artist. These events make you more creative, because you have to step outside of your comfort zone. Some things are meant to catapult you to the next level. It is up to you to figure out which one you are dealing with, and how to handle it.
However, do not make the mistake of taking on too much at one time. You can make the mistake of spreading yourself too thin.
