Jae Hussle is a rising voice out of Rochester's underground scene, known for hard-edged storytelling about survival and street life, while Manzu Beatz is an Italian producer based in Spain whose credits include work with Kool G Rap and Bronze Nazareth. Hulk Tha Hustla pairs Jae's cautionary-tale bars with Manzu's dusty, cinematic soundscapes across a tight 13-track run, casting the rapper as a green-skinned, unstoppable force in his own hustle. Released in September 2024, the project leans hard into themes of integrity and authenticity, marking one of the more distinctive East Coast/Europe boom bap pairings of the year.
