Hustle Everyday-X Blaze

At first, I was reluctant to download this song but when I finally did, it was worth the effort!
You might remember XBlaze from Modenine's 'Da Vinci Mode' album, production credits for the song 'Musiq Lives'.
He drops his first single 'Hustle Everyday'.
A song for the hustlers working for the money and the paper!
From its orchestrated intro to its chopped hook and one verse,it would wake you up from your slumber and make you face your grind, 9 to 5 for that paper!
Nice lyrics, dope beat and a lovely rhythm.
