At what point did you decide you wanted to be an artist?

We decided we wanted to shake up the game around 2005. We all have been involved with music for many many years.

How did you come up with your stage name?

Everything in life was a hustle at that time and we decided that Full Time Hustlaz was an appropriate name to describe the group.


Do you have any musical influences?

You name it and we have either found or can find something influential about it.


Do you have any upcoming projects we should look out for?

Young Money: You know How We Roll
Boi One-Da: Radio On Remix
Heron: The Waiting Room
Collectively: currently untitled, but it will be the 3rd installment of our mixtape series.


Where do you see your music career in the next five years?

Alive...we want our careers to be alive.

Where can fans purchase your mixtape/album?

FTH Presents: Hustling for Dummies Vol. 2 is available for free download...just join the group on facebook or myspace.com/fthnc haha and yes that's a plug, oh and we can't forget about twitter.com/fthnc


If you could work with any major producer for your single, who would it be and why?

Kanye West
Stevie Wonder
Heat Makerz
DJ Toomp


How will this FSM Artist and Producer Showcase be beneficial to you as an artist?

It gives us an opportunity to let people hear what we take pride in doing, making real hip hop. We hope that doesn't step on anyones toes, but if you get offended then you may want to re-evaluate your music lol.


Now that we’ve brought a few labels to our area to show them our talent. What do you think we need to continue to do, in order to help take our local talent to the next level?

Support, especially fighting to get local artists on our local radio stations.
