About Us

Harold James, known by his stage name Hustle Jamez, embodies the true essence of his name, translating his relentless hustle from the streets to the studio. A dynamic emcee, Hustle Jamez brings an eclectic mix of influences into his music, from the grit of T.I., Nippsey Hussle, Gucci Mane, and Tupac to the soulful storytelling of Marvin Gaye and J.Cole. Emerging from a culturally rich background, Hustle Jamez spent his formative years across Lake Charles Louisiana, Houston Texas, and Denver Colorado. His versatile upbringing instilled a profound hustle in his spirit, visible not only in his entrepreneurial ventures but also in his profound lyrical compositions. As a child, Jamez developed a unique way of documenting his thoughts, crafting them into intricate rhymes with varying rhythmic schemes – a creative escapism that later evolved into a potent arsenal of memorable lyrics. Living on the edge between the streets of Houston and the sanctuary of his studio, Jamez learned tough life lessons. He harnessed music as his savior from incarceration and hustling as a means to transcend negativity and fear. He embraced the dual sides of his journey, expressing the raw, complex truths of his experiences in his music, and thus embodying the quintessential ‘H.E.R.O’ – Hope, Empowerment, Resilience, and Overcoming obstacles.
