Pook Hustle is back with a new infectious and unique-sounding single “Grammy.” “Grammy” features a colourful melting pot of atmospheric synths, thrashing drums and divine backing vocals. Pook Hustle’s bars are hard-hitting and paint a colourful, full picture on top of a signature, instrumental canvas. The track showcases how Pook Hustle blends pop, infectious R&B and rap tinged with trap sensibilties – a sound that has been received warmly.
Speaking about the single Pook Hustle tells us: “The day I created “Grammy” was like any other, after a grueling 9-6 shift, I got into character & “Hustleman” made it work. The idea for the song came from a conquest to experiment with my voice. As a science kid, I’ve always loved things that sound futuristic. Hearing artists like Daft Punk & Kanye West (808’s & Heartbreaks era) at a young age allowed me to visualize new worlds based on sound. What started as a random cook-up session, quickly turned into a spiritual experience after mentioning my deceased step-father “Mr.John” , a kind, charismatic hustler from Harlem who meant a lot to me. After repeating his name in the hook, a powerful energy started taking shape over what you hear today.”
“Hustle” is literally Pook’s second name and a fantastic reflection of his attitude towards music. 2022 was a successful year for him, Pook played a sold-out show in December, had three critically-acclaimed singles, a successful music video and a merchandise drop to name a few. However, as his name suggests, he wants to push himself and his music as far as he can. With infectious passion and a burning desire to succeed, 2023 is set to be Pook Hustle’s year.
