Hip Hop music turns to a generation of skills; microphone mastery; street music values; and most of all….Charlie Hustle; a Brooklyn bred Rapper who’s no stranger to many. As a pure lyricist cut from the same cloth as Jay Z, The Notorious BIG, and Pun, the vibrant and energetic Charlie Hustle honed his abilities in ciphers and battles all over Sunset Park, Brooklyn.
