Carter also hopes to use the label to continue releasing music by Burns and other North Texas rap artists. Most successful underground rap songs typically break in nightclubs before being picked up by commercial radio. Burns and Carter had good reason to include the song. The song is a reminder of sorts that Burns is an established artist who has been quiet of late, naturally, but has never really gone away.
Burns has experience in working from prison. Burns also had earlier experience with prison. About 10 years ago, he landed a three-year sentence for assault entailing serious injury.
He is as frank about his past as he is about his present. If you got to be out there doing that, man, learn the law, learn what you up against. The music on Hustle or Go Broke Vol. The fuck. Give it to my boy! As with previous albums, the main selling point on Hustle or Go Broke Vol. Like a classical pianist gliding from note to note in legato fashion, Burns strings words together effortlessly.
His freestyling is equally impressive. In the latter half of the song, Burns takes one deep breath and exhales a long, circuitous string of rhymes, the words and phrases collapsing into one another like dominoes. The phone static that slightly muffles his voice throughout the new tracks is a dialectical coup, reinforcing his street cred and also lending his words, especially his cautionary ones, an air of gravitas.
I want to say thanks for that and soon for my freedom back. In , Burns was granted a petition for re-sentencing as a result of changes in sentencing guidelines regarding crack cocaine. If Black was free, this new rap game couldnt stand A chance!!! Representing Burns, Fort Worth attorney Michael Heiskell questioned the credibility of Iglehart and fellow witnesses Andre Harris and Joseph Wright, who are also federally incarcerated on drug charges. Assisted by co-counsel Douglas Greene of Arlington, Heiskell introduced evidence that Iglehart then told a girlfriend, "I'm a hustler and I do what I gotta do.
Like Iglehart, Perkins and Wright are native Midlanders. Harris told the two-man, woman jury he initially misled Midland police Lt. Mitch Russell about Black's Midland activities because he was intimidated by the rapper's "street cred" or credibility as a gangster. The year-old witness said he has nine children from 4 months to 14, adding, "I was scared something would happen to me or my family if I told.
Wright said he was never involved with Burns, but he had a cocaine supplier in Mexico and provided Perkins with a kilogram, or "key," of cocaine every three weeks until Twisted Black came to Midland.
Burns showed up, you didn't have to do that anymore, did you? It is scheduled for release next year.
