Espi Music: Hows it goin Hustleburry, you mind givin the readers of Espi Music a little run down about your self?
HUSTLEBURRY FIN: I know everyone everywhere says this but, I'm different. I've been a weirdo all my life and I think that's what attracts people to me. Most of the time I don't know WTF came out of my mouth when I say things because I don't think before I speak but that hasn't been a setback what so ever. I love music, not rap but all forms of music from dubstep, to country even (I used to hate country so much I would yell at whoever played it. Then one day driving at My Fit Foods, where I work, I was tired of the radio so I decided to listen to one song. I kept listening and I realized, no matter what art form you use to express yourself, if you are good and truthful in it, it is beautiful. Anyways besides that homo side-note, I love making my music. I work the best by myself but I love working with friends and having fun with it. Also I'm always a student, my minds always open, taking in any information I can from anyone who is knowledgeable in areas i am not. I love sports I'm on a soccer team, a flag football team, and I skateboard with my bummy buddies that are super bad ass. Anyways I hate talking about myself like this so I'm gonna throw out some holler hollers. Dylan Smith (been there since dinosaurs) Amber Wenski (most supportive girl ever) JR Teemah (has my back through thick and thin) Brice Showenstien (even more underground in rap than me look for B Da Wunda in Full Off The Appetizers) Ryan Holloway (best skater ever to live and my photographer in the pics you've seen) Jarred Gethers (cant forget chaboi) Nic da Sic (became addicted to recording at your house) Kyle Peters (I love you and will always miss you, I know you're spirits floatin with me) Mason Spellings (let me stay at his place in S.A. and helped make my crispy voice crispier) and of course Justin Espinosa for this right here, helping my name spread out more, it needs it.

Espi Music: That's gnarley you have had so much support in so many different places man, I guess we all know where your inspiration to keep going comes from. Where did the name "Hustleburry Fin" Derive from bro?
HUSTLEBURRY FIN: Actually its not that cool of a story. I was 17 and I was upstairs at my friends, frequently visited, party, get too throwed, palace called "7607" (brilliantly named b/c of its address) where at any given night you could find 15 or more people doing 5 or more drugs. We were just smoking in the bedroom and I was free-styling, as always, and I guess I said "Hustleburry has leached on to it." We created other names too, like Tommy Gun Sawyer (derived from Tom Sawyer) and Pe$o$ Bill$ (obviously from Pecos Bill). Just stupid folklore storybook rap names, but after all was said and done I couldn't get away from it. So here i am HUSTLEBURRY FIN.

Espi Music: I guess you have already given us an idea of how you got started but you mind giving Espi Music a run down on how exactly you got into the rap game from the beginning?
HUSTLEBURRY FIN: I have loved rap ever since I can remember. My dads girlfriend snuck me Missy Eliot, and Busta Rhymes C.D.s when I was only 9 or 10 and I couldn't get enough. One of my favorite rappers is MA$E (not new preacher "Welcome Back" MA$E, but old Bad Boys "I'ma Die High" MA$E. I mean listen to the old shit he's such a genius. Anyways I memorized songs and I would recited them when I was only a baby hustleburry. That's all I did until the first day of 6th grade. Dylan Smith was in most of my classes and we enjoyed being "class assholes" together so we decided to hang out after school. On the long walk to my moms house we discussed our favorite rap songs and somewhere along the way decided we could rhyme words too, how hard is that? I think the first freestyles were something like "Sittin on my ass, smoking on some grass, out of my glass, we will never pass." Horrible but we loved it, we did it every day, and we got better. My dad bought me a karaoke machine I had been begging him for for Christmas, now we had recording abilities. We did skits, and raps about people from school (we thought we were hilarious). High school came along with a whole new group of friends.(IF YOU'RE STILL READING BARE WITH ME... ha) Kyle Peters (RIP) took me to my first HS party when I was a freshman. It was fucking awesome I was super baby compared to everyone there, and I was super fucked up. I went out back and saw a group of older black kids, and stereotypically asked them if they free styled. They did. I beatboxed for them for a while then they returned the favor and they were astounded! Party after party I would be the center of the freestyle circles. By my senior year upon arrival at a house party I was expected to freestyle, even if I wasn't in the mood. Musical genius Sean Trenholm(who I forgot to mention in my holler hollers) called me over to his house one day and said he had a beat for me. I free styled over it i was super proud, you can still check it out at myspace.com/hustleburry lol. One glorious day after getting shitty downtown, Ryan Shout (ma cracka) told me we could go over to Nic da Sic's place and record and addicted. I went out and bout my own equipment, built a studio with Dylan in his roomy's closet and history began. The public needed to hear these freestyles and songs that were produced in this studio, especially the ones with the OHC (Orange Hat Crew) and they soon would. I how ever wanted to do my own thing, by myself and it was too far of a drive to Cedar Park every day. Amber got her brand new mac book and it was over from then on. I started with "WTF Metronome" and didn't even release it on Facebook. Then my first written track "Fresh Out the Shower" was created. Amber sent it to a slew of homies and that's how Justin (Espi Music) first heard of Hustleburry. THE HISTORY AFTER THAT IS PAINTED IN THE SONGS!

Espi Music: Awesome recap bro, above you mentioned the OHC (Orange Hat Crew), and after chilling with you for a little bit, Espi Music has become aware of a little something you like to refer to as "Sing Song Flow". Can you give the readers a run down of what the Orange Hat Crew, as well as "Sing Song Flow" Refer to?
HUSTLEBURRY FIN: I love me some sing song flow, as well as some Orange Hat Crew. Let me start out by giving you the origin of the OHC. I was 18 and I had just graduated, I had received an academy gift card. I purchased about $95 of bullshit and had 5 dollars left over. I wandered around looking for 5 more dollars of worthless shit but never found that. Instead shined a lonely orange hat staring at me from a good distance away. It pulled me in like scorpion and thank god, the price tag read $4.99. I couldn't take it off my head for a little over a year until tragedy struck. I left it over at Sycamore Springs (another vomit palace of us low lives) where Brice Showenstien lived right before he went off to Germany. I was too late Brice boarded the flight wearing the hat then spent a year with it himself. When he returned the hat was very tattered and dirt soaked, perfect condition for Dylan Smith to wear. and that he did. until the first time we all 3 (great buds) came together in the studio Dylan and I had built. That is when we nailed it to the wall and that is where it will stay till the end of time (until he moves). You can find various picures of each of us wearing that 5 dollar hat. Sing song flow was created that vary night in the studio. We had already made about 6 freestyles and we were hammered and blasted as a human can be... for some reason I kept slurfully saying "I anna sin song flo, cmo guys les do sin sonnn flow" so we did, I went first on that track and its basically freestyle singing mixed in with regular flows. Very fun shit, those freestyles will come out someday BTW.

Espi Music: No lie bro, hearing about the OHC reminds me of my old HS days and how me and my own personal crew came to be, good shit. Back to you though Hustle, how have you evolved as an artist sense the release of your first track "Fresh Out the Shower"?
HUSTLEBURRY FIN: I was listening to "Fresh Out the Shower" today and Ii fucking love it. I know my songs have gotten a little more lyrical, and it is much easier for me to make a song with a point behind it now but I just think each one of my songs are so different that I cant, myself, put them into a progression time line. You know what? I take that back, there really is something to be said about 3 of my more serious songs, and how I "progressed" with them. 1. Lateness - the first one with more of a hard hitting serious theme where I explain why the game needs me, and how lame others are. 2. Do It For Me- Where I explain, I have to do it for myself because trying to help so many people just doesn't work out for me, so have my back but don't ride my coat tails. 3. 2 Cents - Dylan actually was telling me about how he showed a group of people my song "Super Infected" and they just were talking over it and blindly saying it was lame. He snapped at them and called them idiots for not actually listening and started it over. They loved it and played it over a few times. He called me and said "You gotta make a song about how these fucking sheeple don't actually listen and then have the audacity to try to tell you how to make your music" I agreed and put a lot of feelings into this song sprinkling it with cleverness and rhyme schemes I had never used or heard before. "Progression" as I see it in me.
