Hustle & Flo Radio

Autumn is beginning to break in New York City and the crisp scent is in the air. It is the aroma of change, it is coming and it is inevitable. Embrace it in all its rawness and ramble on.

I find my peace in music. Music is a developed vibration. Vibrations are a form of concentrated energy. Energy is the universal transmission of life. Let's all be a V.I.P. and Vibrate In Peace.

There is one fact that not only unites all of mankind but furthermore proves that every organism in the universe is connected to one common bond; Death. Get used to it. Matter of fact, learn to make it your best friend...than, continue to enjoy life.     H&FLO Radio 14"Fly High B4 We Die"1. Cam'ron & Vado - Speaking Tongues2. J. Cole - Who Dat3.

Good morning. It's Spring time. Time to take action. Today is the day, your future begins. (04.27.2010)

A "Carioca" is the name for a native of the city of Rio de Janeiro. The Portuguese spoken accent in the city of Rio is also called "Carioca."  The term is used in conjunction with Brasilian music (samba and funke) to specify the origin of it's roots. Like a "New Yorker" a "Carioca" embodies the culture of their city, and during my 3rd trip spending 40 nights DJing in Rio, it is abundantly clear that Rio has a rich cultural depth that is just barely starting to be explored on an international scale. The landscape of Rio looks like a scene from Jurassic Park, the energy of the city is enourmous and vivacious, and the legend is true that 90% of the women in Rio have amazing booties. Once NYC rappers figure this out, sh*t will be over... But for now let this Podcast sink into the pours of your skin while we transform ourselves into a Carioca. So get ready to slur your "S's," walk around the city in a thong, smoke lots of maconha, show up late to everything, sprinkle farofa on all your food, and say expressions l

This is the 1 yr Anniversary of H&FLO Radio! Big shouts to all listeners, you have my most sincere respect. H&FLO Radio is a personal commitment of mine to exposing and experimenting w/ new music on a monthly basis. New music w/ infinite potential. Enjoy this extra long mix as the music type spans extreme genres. NYC has made me a beast in 2009, and in 2010 I am blasting off into new unexplored territory. I wait for no one...And I'm Gone.

Holiday season is here. In the music industry world "holiday season" means 4th quarter music sales. This translates to labels making sure that they push their biggest artists to rake in the sales after nine months of madness. Traditionally there is a 'gap' of commercial music releases between December and February while the major labels collect on their major investments while independent artists push hard to break new ground.  During this time in NYC there is also a lot of opportunity to be busy with DJ gigs. For H&FLO 10 I wanted to highlight new and emerging artists that inspire me to hustle here in NYC. As for the intro, Jonesy and I were flown out to Rome earlier in November to play for the US Marine Corps. Hustle in Italiano = "trambusto."

Life is all about progression: forward and onward. The Jellyfish is on a life- long quest as it drifts into the deep blue unknown. The Jellyfish must concentrate on finding the warm currents to help move itself onward. The Jellyfish floats alone. He is equipped only with poisonous tentacles to disarm prey that attempt to infiltrate his autonomy.  In the deep blue abyss, The Jellyfish must be ready to embrace unforeseeable changes that may throw it deeply off course. The Jellyfish's strength during these times are a test of its evolutionary character. The Jellyfish conquers these forces by flowing with the changes of these tides, constantly focused on finding the warm currents. The Jellyfish travels far and wide. He inherently embraces a worldly heroic journey. It is long and hard in this animal kingdom, but the strong are rewarded with majestic self-governing freedom. The King floats alone.*H&FLO 9- NYC's Vagabond King*

WHAT! 95 degrees in NYC today, humidty 60%. People are like, "Well Texas is hot, Florida is hot, Brazil is hot" ... but NYC is HUMID. Invest your money in Gold Bond if you know what's good...Not only is it humid, but it's still a recession and people in this city running around like crazy trying to figure out where the money went. Musically, everything is out of wack. Matter of fact, I'm sitting inside of Sony Records right now, and the label people can't stop talking about the humidity and the downfall of the industry. Lazy DJ's especially better watch themselves, dudes are hungry and I need to eat...The only way to survive in the music game right now is to be patient, and connect with real music, real art, real truth. And the only way to survive in this city is to hustle... and hustle hard. Living in Harlem, it's the truth that you must be a hunter in the Urban Jungle, or be hunted. To all my hustlers and artists, it isn't easy right now but keep grinding, I shed sweat for all.

Hustle & FLO Podcast Radio 7"Lost In LA LA Land"(Under The Influence of California)I am a New Yorker. There is some sort of parallel universe that exists for people between the east coast and west coast, becuase LA was great to us during Jonesy & my DJ travels to the left coast. Great gigs, hype partying, unique music, ambitious single women, regal and legal ganja, and lots and lots of sun. Jonesy said that he could see himself 'living here,' but I am still true to NYC. But while we were out at Cali doing events for the Black Eyed Peas and remixing tracks for the LINKS, I couldn't help but let the Cali vibe infiltrate my system. For this Podcast I wanted to capture the vibes and sounds that I was listening to and focused on while in LA. I was literally about 10 blocks away from where Michael Jackson died (RIP) and felt instant chills and a shockwave of energy rush through the core of the city and into the Universe. And I am still amazed how some songs that are HUGE in LA can also be UNKNOWN in NYC (an

Damn. It's been a hot minute since we dropped the Podcast. So we came back to drop it like its hot. Hot like the summer. Hot like a hot potato. Hot like hot sauce on fried chicken.

Wow. A huge influx of dope dope new music came my way since I was in Aspen last week. Major props of course to homie Jonesy for holding down the blogs and the music also.

Welcome to the World Premier of Hustle & FLO Podcast RadioNew Music. New Energy.Mixed by: DJ FLORecorded Live from Harlem, NYCDate: 01.13.2009Episode #1Damn, it's about time to start abandoning everything you know or feel about music, becuase things are going through a massive shift right now. Can't you feel it? As for myself, I am flat out tired of hearing the same things and force myself to constantly be exposed to absorb new music. People that know me know I hustle hard, and like Magellen I try to leave my mark and spread the positive musical vibes all over the world. It has come to a point where I need to filter the hottness back into the hands of the people. I no longer associate one style with another, all I know are my instincts and what is hot is hot. Period. This podcast is a committment to cycle through the hottest and freshest music that makes its way to my ears. New Music, New Energy.Tracks:1. K.S- Freaky Hoes2. Dizzee Rascal (ft.
