From the opening line, "mark my words", Rob Bailey & The Hustle Standard are making a statement with their second album, appropriately titled, Beast.  If you're not familiar with the RBHS sound it's a mixture of hardcore, dubstep, hiphop, and punk elements meant to get you off your ass and headed down a path of domination.  Fans of their previous EP, Battle Tested, will be happy to know that Beast picks up  right where the duo left off.  The Hustle Standard's production is still huge; Rob Bailey's voice is still larger-than-life; and the songs still make you want to run through walls.

Beast starts with the song "I Am Not Done" which features the Brooklyn-born artist Moxiie proclaiming "This is not last year and I am not done here".  The second song is also the title-track, "Beast", and quite simply, this one is a BEAST.  On "Run This" Charley Hustle (a.k.a The Hustle Standard) sings "I'm too busy chasing mine to let the world leave me behind/I'm going for mine", and on "What I Live For" Rob's hell-fire voice demands that you "Wake up!".  "Ambulances", a fun play on Rob's verse from "Run Shit", features the Bronx rapper, Drew Boogie.  The remix to "I Am Not Done" is an uptempo, electro remix that helps the album breathe before getting into the final remix.  "The Beast Remix" is not just a remix of the song "Beast", but of the whole album with elements of every song over heavy trap style production.  The final song, "Jealous", is undoubtedly the most unique of the 8 songs, and on first listen could be seen as a departure for the pair, but all of the intensity and honor, that make Rob Bailey & The Hustle Standard what they are, is front and center over this methodical, evolving track.  Overall, Beast, is a declaration that, despite any odds, people can not only overcome, but can become Beasts.

Embrace the Beast | POWERFUL FEMININE SONG | Epic Metal Music

Embrace the Beast

You declared the border an emergency; walls built, rights taken away
You stripped the powerless of protection, and told the hungry “get out of the way”
We watched the courts be bypassed, we watched the truth begin to fall behind
You said birthright means nothing, but we won’t be denied

We see the laws bend and break, but we refuse to fall
Your power is borrowed, but our voices stand tall

No kings, no crowns, your bullshit won’t last
We rise, we fight, we won’t live in your past
The people are stronger than your command
No kings, no crowns, the future is in our hands

You withdrew from climate pacts, you abandoned global trust
You paused renewable programs, pumped poison like profit was trust
You crushed D E I initiatives, purged workers who spoke the truth
We see the walls you build, but we’re awake; you're just a goof.

Your gilded throne is cracking, your empire built on sand
We are the storm you feared, we are the land

No kings, no crowns, your lies won’t hold
We rise, we burn, we turn the dark to gold
The streets, the voices, the freedom untold
No kings, no crowns, the people take control

When courts said “stop,” you said “push forward still”
When the people cried, you tightened your iron will
You tried to silence truth, but fire is in our veins
We are the many, we are awake, we’ll break your chains

The fear you feed is fleeting, the walls will fall in a pile
Your shadow fades at sunrise, release the Epstein files

No kings, no crowns, no tyrant in sight
We rise, we roar, we reclaim our right
Your reign is over, the streets ignite
No kings, no crowns, we fight for the light

No kings, no kings, the power is ours
No kings, no fear, no throne, no scars
We rise together, the future is free
No kings, no crowns - for you or me

NO KINGS!
