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.

LYRICS:

[CHORUS]
Here's what it looks like (Looks like)
Being the best
What it looks like, to be a cut above the rest
What it looks like (Looks like)
Being the best
What it looks like, to be a cut above the rest

[VERSE 1]
Nobody understands what it takes to be the man
Having every single person say you can't, when you can
To give up everything you've ever known for a dream
And never stop the fight no matter how hard it seems
You sacrifice, you bleed, you sweat, and you cry
Doing everything you can not to lay down and die
When you fall and you call out, there's no one to help
So you've got no other option but to pick up yourself
At the end of the battle you're the only one standing
Everyone watching, the stage you're commanding
The pages of history will speak of today
And when they talk about the champion
This is what they'll say:

[CHORUS]

[VERSE 2]
People will break you right down to nothing if you let 'em
They say, "There's a million others like you, what makes you better?"
But remember that these folks are afraid of the unknown
They're the ones who wet the bed if they go ten miles from home
“Stay Down”, is what they scream in your ear
The only weapon that they have to use is fear
So you take all the beatings and you take all the hits
But your back on your feet for more, you don't quit
You'll never back down, never stop, never pause
Never give up, never sacrifice the cause
This is your life, you gonna let somebody take it?
Look in the mirror: That's all you need to make it

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]
The smoke has all cleared, and you own the throne
You're king of the castle, and everybody knows
They bow in your presence, and fear your might
‘Cause they know for damn sure what it, what it…

[FINAL CHORUS]
What it looks like (Looks like)
Being the best
What it looks like, to be a cut above the rest
What it looks like (Looks like)
Being the best
What it looks like, to be a cut above the rest
What it looks like (Looks like)
Being the best
What it looks like, to be a cut above the rest
What it looks like (Looks like)
Being the best
What it looks like, to be a cut above the rest

From the Rob Bailey & The Hustle Standard EP Battle tested

Hold Strong

Hungry

Charley Hustle (The Hustle Standard) brought in the young and talented UK producer, Lost Soul, to do a special remix version of the entire Rob Bailey & The Hustle Standard smash hit EP, ‘Battle Tested’.

The original album dropped on May 15, 2012 and shot straight to #1 on the iTunes Top Electronic Albums chart followed by a debut at #13 on the Billboard Heatseeker’s chart later that week. With the help of their publishers, Wonderlous Music Publishing, fan favorite track “Hungry” was selected as ESPN's "Elite 11" 2012 mini-series theme song and was placed in a SportsCenter Arian Foster feature sponsored by Under Armor (see here: http://www.dlpentertainment.com/work/arian-foster-armour/).

While still built around the writing and vocal performances of Rob Bailey & Charley Hustle, Lost Soul takes the sound deeper into the worlds of dub-step, and electronica, all while amping up the intensity of an already adrenaline packed set of songs. The only thing that doesn’t change is the drill-sergeant manner in which Rob Bailey & The Hustle Standard pushes it’s listeners to work harder, do better, and achieve anything.
