Hailing from the lost city of Camden, NJ, this emcee/producer represents one-third of the critically acclaimed Nuthouse crew. The group debuted in 1998 with the classic 12", A Luv Supream on Bobbito's fabled Fondle 'Em imprint. Goodvibe Recordings quickly followed up with a Nuthouse EP entitled Deez Nuts which featured cameos by El da Sensai (Artifacts), Planet (Outerspace) and Diamond Back (Deadly Snakes). Fel was also featured on the Dave Ghetto Love Life 12" (Counterflow Recordings) and the Embodiment of Instrumentation LP by Scratch from The Roots' (Rope-A-Dope/Atlantic Records).

*Review taken from amazon
Like the other reviewer i was originally searching for other stuff when i stumbled across this cat and decided to cop it on the cheap. I had heard that he was down with Dave Ghetto (who appears on 1 track+rips shop) so considering i had got his album+LOVED it i took a gamble. To be perfectly honest it turns out there was absoultely no gamble involved. This is what hiphop should be. ALL these so called rap artists getting major airplay should take a long look at themselves+realise the damage they're doing to hiphop by putting out these half a**ed albums, then go buy this for themselves+study how to make good music. Fel's flows-flawless, Fel's beats (yeah he does most of his own)-breathtaking. With the added help of the criminally underestimated ILLMIND and the very impressive STREET ORCHESTRA he creates a unique vibe that captivates you from the jump. I would've loved FEL to use the 2 remix tracks to do new songs with the beats. The tracks "lost children", "lust"(remix) and "hold back" would make this worth the money and should make any rap fan run out and cop this. Excellent, please support real hiphop like this!!!

The world is a ghetto, just like the 70s band War used to say. We live in a global neighborhood where there are more ghettos in the world than upper-class enclaves, sleepy suburban tract homes and middle-class row houses combined. Dave Ghetto repping Camden, New Jersey brings forth his solo debut. “Love Life?” is warm and filled with real soul while still keeping the subject matter raw and gritty much like the city that produced this witty wordsmith. The musical backdrop and features are provided by Tony Galvin, Denaun Porter (D12), 9th Wonder, Square, Cee-Lo Green, Phonte of Little Brother, Mystic, Yahzarah , each bringing their talents adding to the classic sound of “Love Life?” as a whole cohesive unit. His album is already being compared to many classics, reconfirmed by many features in magazines. "Love Life?" caters to EVERYONE. This album is not targeted to one niche, IT IS MUSIC and already getting huge acclaim.

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.
