LYRICS: 
Sitting here alone in my thoughts
Everything is true until it's not
I was looking in from the outside
The devil's on my left I had an angel on my right side
Yeah I been know to walk through open flames
Why can't I sleep at night, growing pains
Long cold winters in the snow and rain
Rock, paper, scissors man the game will make you go insane

I don't chase my liquor, I only chase my dreams
I don't chase no paper, the paper gon' come if you put the work in
I don't worry when I'm with you, yeah you know what that means
So if I drop out tomorrow I hope it was as good as it seems

Yeah I think a lot, maybe way too much
I put my heart on a scale and it weigh too much
One time only then the offers up
75 down the drain I had to cough it up
It never happened how I thought it would
Ten years later I'm in Hollywood
Where dreams live and die on Sunset
You never know what you ain't done yet

I don't chase my liquor, I only chase my dreams
I don't chase no paper, the paper gon' come if you put the work in
I don't worry when I'm with you, yeah you know what that means
So if I drop out tomorrow I hope it was as good as it seems

Bobby Hustle Biography:
Bobby Hustle is what cultures colliding sounds like. Born in Seattle, Washington
and raised on a diversity of music ranging from Irish folk to Motown and Otis
Redding to Mozart, the Hustle fell in love with reggae as a twelve year old and the
affair has never ended. As a result, his sound is rooted in modern reggae, but
effortlessly blends in pop, rock and even hip hop sensibilities. Bobby has recorded
and released songs with Sizzla (JA), Exco Levi (CA), Gappy Ranks (UK), Cali P
(CH), The Movement (USA) and more. He has toured in the United States,
Canada, Japan, Italy, Germany, Poland, Russia, Costa Rica and Israel. In 2016,
while on tour in Costa Rica, Bobby was arrested, falsely accused and charged
with drug trafficking. He spent the next 22 months fighting for his freedom. In
December 2017, he was found not guilty in trial and allowed to fly home to his
family in Seattle. After his return, he relocated to Los Angeles where he continues
to record and release new music.

“There are plenty of American reggae acts… but none of them as genuine as Bobby Hustle. Built on a broad knowledge of reggae and dancehall music, Bobby’s authenticity is most impressive because it is self-taught and born of a true passion for a genre that most Americans only know through Bob Marley’s ubiquitous Legend CD.” – Dan Dabber, Reggaeville.com

Seattle, Washington-born reggae songwriter and performer, now residing and recording in Los Angeles. His story and sound are like no one else's!

Bobby was first exposed to Jamaican-style music in middle school when he became fascinated by the island rhythms being re-purposed by third wave ska bands like Sublime, Less Than Jake and Reel Big Fish. His adolescent interest in that sound eventually led him straight to the source and he quickly discovered that Jamaica had a lot more to offer than just ska. He began to explore reggae crafted by Jamaican artists who were popular at the end of the 90s – artists like Anthony B, Capleton, and Sizzla – and he quickly became obsessed. He scoured the Emerald City for any reggae record he could get his hands on, hoping to soak up as much Jamaican music, dialect, and culture as he could.

In 2010, Bobby Hustle began voicing reggae productions and, true to his name, he has worked industriously for labels from all over the world. In addition to his home camp, Loud City Music, he has written and recorded songs for many prominent outfits like the bicoastal American crew, Lustre Kings Productions, and German super-group, Jugglerz Records. Since his debut EP, Always On The Hustle, in 2011, Bobby has released five mixtapes, five more EPs and a full length album, It’s The Hustle. In his thirteen year career, Bobby Hustle has contributed songs to over 60 different riddim releases and collaborated with some of the best reggae artists in the world, including the iconic Sizzla Kalonji, prolific artists like Lutan Fyah, Mikey General, Cali P, Collie Buddz, The Movement, Josh Heinrichs and Skillinjah.

All of Bobby’s hard work has given him exposure, and he has built a following from all over the world. Bobby’s music has taken him to places like Japan, Russia, Germany and Italy. He has performed opening duties for crucial reggae artists like Gappy Ranks, Konshens, Protoje, Mr. Vegas and Third World just to name a few. But his success has not come without obstacles, most notably, a two year stay in Costa Rica beginning in 2016, where Bobby awaited trial for a drug trafficking charge that resulted from a misunderstanding while he was on tour. Determined to fight the charge, he refused to accept a plea deal that would have given him a lighter sentence. Bobby knew he was innocent and decided that he would do everything in his power to keep his freedom. After 22 months there, he was found not guilty of all charges and he was able to return to his friends and family in Seattle in December of 2017.

After his return to the US in 2018, Bobby relocated to Los Angeles. His EP, Wolaba Vibes: The Costa Rica Sessions, a collection of songs he recorded while in Costa Rica, came out in May 2019. In December 2019, he renewed his passport and performed two shows in Israel, making his first trip abroad since his trial in Costa Rica. Little did he know, just a few months later he'd be stuck in one place again...

Lockdown didn't stop him. During the height of the pandemic in 2020, Hustle dropped 19 songs including, “As Good As It Seems”. The song was featured on Spotify’s editorial playlist “Sunshine Reggae”, now with over 2.5 million streams on the platform. In 2021, Bobby continued his pattern of frequent releases by offering up two EPs, Side Hustle and The Right Place, as well as a host of singles.

2022 brought new opportunities for the Hustle. Just as live show restrictions began to lift in Southern California, Bobby started his new band and throughout the latter half of the year, they began to perform regularly throughout the region.

Since the Covid restrictions have now officially been lifted, Bobby Hustle is getting back on the road nationally and internationally. Whether he performs with his backing band or with his DJ, Yungg Trip, one thing for certain is Bobby's undeniable stage presence and his love for the craft of entertaining. So make sure you don't miss the opportunity to see this rising star on a stage near you!!!
