Description: The Hustle Reunion

The ask was to make a call-for-auditions promo for the 3rd season of MTV Hustle. But we decided to create a fun, groovy Hip Hop track, composed by Bangalore-based music producer Parimal Shais with verses written and performed by the top 8 artists from Hustle 2.0.

This entire process of creating the track was done remotely, with the Hustle artists and the music producer, all spread across different parts of the country. It took over 3 months from getting the composer to share the scratch groove and melody, the artists writing and rewriting their verses, to them sending their individual recordings, which were mixed and mastered in Bangalore.

The next step was shooting a 3-minute music video in one day! The approach we took was that of old friends catching up for a much-awaited reunion, hence the vibe was like a casual Sunday afternoon get together.

The song did wonders on multiple fronts. The fans of Hustle 2.0 got to watch their favourites collabing like never before. The combined numbers on YouTube, Instagram and Facebook are a proof of that. In terms of auditions, we got 2X more entries compared to the first season.

English transcript of the verses


SRUSHTI (00:03 – 00:15)

My photo in the magazine, check!
A logo of my name, check!
After setting the Hustle stage on fire,
All India Solo, check!
Stage to Bollywood to Times Square!
That's jolly good!
And if you still don't know
ke, “main nahin toh kaun?”
you really should!


WICKED SUNNY (00:16 – 00:29)

One loose t-shirt
And a cool cap
Hobby and passion
Both are rap
Hustle gave me
that big break
Some people call me sexy
And some know me as
“Dubai ka Sheikh!”

Played FIFA
Became a Roadie
Wrote Splitsvilla
MTV are like happy in-laws
To get a sexy son-in-law like me!


PARADOX (00:30 – 00:42)

I had to Hustle hard
Before getting showered with love
The second nawab of Najafgarh
Is not just a title,
It’s just unconditional love!
Supersonic
Super Shows
Super Car
Life changed after MTV
Super Power
Super Skills
Super Hip Hop
Always at the top, Hip Hop!

MC SQUARE (00:46 – 00:58)

I came roaring onto the Hustle stage,
Remember my name, ‘Lambardar’, who never misses once the target is set!
With one leg outside the window,
I jumped with the other leg, into the Rap Game like Angad from Ramayana!
Was used to sleeping till 4 in the afternoon,
Now my dreams keep me up till 4 in the morning.
Earlier stars were only meant for the sky,
But now I have left them behind!


HOOKLINE (00:59 – 01:11)

HIP HOP
We took it ahead.
WON'T STOP
Penning down the thoughts in our heads.
HARD WORK
Hustle gave us what we truly deserved.

SPECTRA (01:12 – 01:25)

When Hustle’s buzzer went off,
as if a new door opened for me.
My journey started from there,
and I backed my talent and resigned from my job.
As my pen took over, this boy from Noida,
transformed into Mustafa the poet and rapper.

Now Hustle is my chosen path,
Just like the movie Agneepath!
And in that Agneepath, I am the Rauf Lala!
I tell the haters straight on their faces,
“NO”, just like a Bombay autowalah!







PANTHER (01:26 – 01:40)

I love to live the king-sized life!
The king is here, you all must rise!
Created history with a record turnout at my Hometown show!
Got the country singing along, “Vande Mataram” with me.
New music label deals and songs are everyday stuff now!
Man of my words can give you a rousing speech.
From a village in UP to MTV, there were many sleepless nights!
Married to the game and the grammar of Hip Hop!

GRAVITY (01:59 – 02:13)

Now the OG will GO!

I came from the darkness into the light,
Became the star that dazzled the sky!
My life was the real hustle,
Before the Hustle on TV changed my life!
On shows, on stage, I am the rage, I am Jalaluddin!
Once the train started it kept on rolling.
Now King Grav has become King Kong
This is not a sing-song, it’s real Hip Hop!










NAZZ (02:17 – 02:28)


Nobody knew my name before,
I am somebody today, but was a nobody before.
Raju Bhai was right.
Money is important but it’s not everything!
I like my Jeans to be baggy and shirts oversized!
Everyone’s a fan, that too die-hard!
My life is like the movie Vaastav,
and I am like Raghu Bhai, Sanjay Dutt!
