Musab is the latest MC to deliver the overly familiar Hip-Hop message that pimpin’ ain’t easy. Fortunately for exasperated listeners, however, the Heiroglyphics MCs tribulations are a little more taxing than struggling to collect his money. Complimenting the rumbling horns and sleek drum thuds of opener ‘Night Of Mirage,’ the artist details the moral problems that come with being a bred, full-blooded Pimp. ‘My stomach in a knot/I wanna do right but still hustle on the block,’ the artist chimes in a sincerely somber tone, adding, ‘I’m trying to get it right for my daughters and my son.’ Of course, the inevitable contradictions arise, such as on the stark boom-bap of ‘I Gots To Get Mine.’ Sounding chipper over the shuddering backdrop, ‘Sab spits, ‘Just a week ago/I was building and discussing with my fam how to make a million hustling.’ Luckily, Musab’s vastly contrasting quotes make him all the more intriguing. A proud hustler who still managed to see the error of his ways? Scratch that – a devoutly Muslim Pimp? It’s fair to say that Musab delivers the overly familiar Hip-Hop message – Pimpin’ ain’t easy – with impressive originality and flair.
