While many attribute the "Hustle" to what society deems as illegal activities, Dave Ghetto, vet emcee and frontman for Hustle Simmons states otherwise. "The hustle is doing what it takes to achieve your desired goal" explains Ghetto, "drugs sell themselves, there's no hustle in that". That being said, the desired goal for Hustle Simmons is to be heard.
Hustle Simmons is the emcee/ producer duo consisting of Camden City, NJ's indie hip-hop mainstay, Dave Ghetto (Nuthouse/ Counterflow) and Philadelphia based producer, Tha S Ence. Dave Ghetto began making a name for himself as a member of Nuthouse, releasing projects on both Bobitto Garcia's Fondle Em imprint and Goodvibe Recordings whose roster boasted artist like Slum Village, Bahamadia, and Mystic. As a solo artist, Ghetto has released various Projects via Miami based label Counterflow Recordings selling more then 35k 12" records and 20k copies of his solo full length release "LoveLife?". Working with artists ranging from Cee-Lo Green to DJ Jazzy Jeff, Dave has built quite an impressive resume. While Dave is the voice of Hustle Simmons, Tha S Ence is definitely the sound. His signature drum heavy sample based production style has been garnering him attention around the city of Philadelphia for sometime now. He's consistently stood out amongst his peers while performing in producer's showcases like Beats & Rhymes and Word of Mouth. A student of the craft of beat making, Tha S Ence cites producers Just Blaze, Premo, and the late J Dilla as the influences
behind his production. An introduction by a mutual friend lead to Tha S Ence submitting a beat cd for a project which eventually became a full-length project. "It's that new millinium boom-bap!", explains
Dave Ghetto. Welcome to the Digital Underground.
