Pook Hustle unifies a deep level of introspection with smooth Hip-Hop beats in his new release ‘Purple: Grass Is Always Greener’. Tracks ‘Sickwitit’ and ‘Budapest’ provide edgy, honest vocals with slick, clever production. The lyricism reflects issues on relationships, love and self questioning and showcases Pook’s natural talent and authentic artistry. This Brooklyn born artist takes admirable risks in his projects, adding a grit to his craft that is surely heard in his latest release.
Speaking of the release, Pook Hustle explains: “Purple: Grass is Always Greener is about me coming to terms with my duality. Whether I’m in a relationship or single, I find myself looking at the grass on the other side. Because of that, sometimes I can forget love and become stoic, like in SickWitIt. Other times I find myself floating into a dreamy world with a partner, as in Budapest. Prior to music, I played basketball in college while pursuing education. Every now and then I ponder “What if my career as an athlete worked out? Should I go back to school?” The grass always seems greener, but I know I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be. I mention purple in the title because this serves as a bridge between my debut Blue Tape EP & my forthcoming sophomore project Red Tape EP. It’s the balance of Blue’s stimulation and Red’s calm. This project embodies me embracing my darkness and my more romantic side coming to the realization that the two traits can exist within one person.”
Originally beginning his career on the basketball court, Pook’s love and passion for music never wavered, and his musical talents are now being executed to the maximum. With an EP in the works, there are big things to be expected of this cutting-edge artist.
