LIIIISTENNN!! I’m gonna get straight to it. If you know me you know music is therapeutic, for me. I only listen to love songs, Pikasso, & content recommended by those I trust most. Anyway, Pikasso music IS hustla music, always has been since “Welkum 2 Miie Wurld” which dropped around 2008 BS (before streaming lmao). His earliest streaming project “Max Out” dropped 2013 to his latest project, “Hustlin’ For Dummies” & all of the “Snack Packs” and mixtapes in between, Pikasso has been consistent in his theme of growth, prosperity, self-improvement & doing it yourself.
“Hustlin For Dummies” dropped today, Wednesday June 21st. The very 1st track is called “Good AM” & sets the tone for the day!!! “I wake & stretch like a boss n***a, throw on some drip then I tuck the iron, I vow to go hard no takin breaks, b* is you outta ya f*n mind? You gotta be some type of crazy, you take the L when you being lazy, you get the M’s when you making moves, it’s coming right back when you pay ya dues!"
Translation: I prepare for my day by getting fly, protecting myself, get up and put my best foot forward to reach my goals is wtf I heard!! lmao and it gets better with every track!! Good AM reminds me of “Rise & Grind” from Snack Pack 14.
#2 “Cut Throat”
While it sounds lethal (judging by the title), its low key an ode to hustle. “When you stay in the cut til its time, ya know something, when you tunnel vision on the grind you know something, when you know the score but keep it close ya know something, when you make the play, stash some away, ya know something.”
Translation: Make good decisions, stay focused & invest is what I heard! & I LOVE IT!!!
#3 D.I.Y.
This track is amazing to me because its title is “D.I.Y.” Do it Yourself right? While the average mind is normally offended by the thought of someone advising to do it yourself, the message is deeper than that. “Sit down, map it out, break it down, trap it out, turn em into believers gotta grind until they clappin loud!” Pikasso knows how much power we hold as people with faith that anything can happen, IF you’re willing to do what it takes. We are not often motivated to do whatever we can, study whatever we can’t until it becomes what we are capable of as well. Can you imagine KNOWING anything you desire is within your reach if you are willing to do what it takes!? That faith takes us to new levels. Pikasso motivates us to get everything we can out of life. Again, music is therapy. It sets our minds on whatever vibe it is we absorb into our subconscious. Be intentional with what you consume through listening. It is as important if not more important than what we physically consume.
#4 Graveyard
Watch the video to the very end! DOPE ASF! (Graveyard is a reference to having a lot of American dollars that are covered with dead presidents, in case you take a second to catch on).
Okay so I won’t over analyze every song (right now) but here are some ways to link with Pikasso on whatever platforms you choose.
