When you’re one of several individuals who like to work while listening to music, you’ve probably considered which genres of music would be most conducive to increasing your output and I bet if there has been a better genre to that for you than Hip-hop.
Now, Ugandan celebrated rapper now based in Los Angeles, GNL Zamba certainly has been ambitious with his music career especially when it comes to pen down inspirational songs that speak directly to the mind of his listener and he has done it again by releasing his latest single “Hustle & Motivate”.
On this bombastic anthem whose visuals dropped on Wednesday ‘, the multiple award-winning rapper speaks about his struggles to achieve his dreams of success and giving out his hustle blue-print to whoever would wish to get victorious.
On this song, you’ll want to jump out of bed to conquer the world after listening to its lyrics, with its driving rhythms and motivational metaphors. Its a song for those feeling depressed, who have lost hope and to those who are stuck on their next big next steps to make it out in life. It is a kind of selection that can help one lift up their spirits.
Produced by Baboon Forest Studios in Muyenga, ‘Hustle & Motivate’ is a phenomenal song that should resonate with fans who are also struggling to win in the game called life and to all those that are dreamchasers.
The song`s chorus is equally as poignant and will stick to your brain as well. Zamba recites, “Hustle & Motivate, Hustle & Motivate/ Blood, sweat and tears/ Ng`ogoba ebirooto”
Classic rags to riches lines that speak of young men and women battling their way up from the bottom by all means necessary may be found somewhere in this song that was recorded by J-Wats with its mixing and mastering by Baru and Anel on Big Tril`s inspired beat.
In one of the verses, GNL reminds us of the legendary Muhamad Ali story, who at times lost his fight but never gave up on his dream of becoming the best that has ever been in the game of boxing; “Naye omanyi ekyafula Muhamad Ali Champion Okimanyi?/ Nebweyakola loses naye teyava ku kirooto”
The Ghetto Story teller as Zamba calls himself, he replicated it yet again on Hustle & Motivate, this signature storytelling element of his is such a poetic device that separates him from everyone else with his usual technique of the window-view style–where he puts the listener on the scene.
As the title of his song suggests, GNL Zamba has plenty of hustle that motivates everyone who listens to his music and he’s certainly on the road to success with his upcoming LP, aptly named ‘Home Coming,’ which is slated to drop soonest then later a concert in Kampala under the same name(Home Coming).
