Hustle Gang

Formed as a loose collective around rapper T.I.'s Grand Hustle Records imprint, Hustle Gang first surfaced in 2013 through the track "Memories Back Then." The collective's name had earlier appeared on the posse cut "Hustle Gang," a cut from Grand Hustle artist Chip's 2012 mixtape London Boy. Early 2013 marked the shift to an official project, when T.I., B.o.B, Kendrick Lamar, and Kris Stephens united on the single "Memories Back Then." The G.D.O.D (Get Dough or Die) mixtape arrived later that same year. G.D.O.D. 2 and H.G.O.E (Hustle Gang Over Everythang) followed in the years after. In 2017 the crew issued its first proper album, We Want Smoke, with T.I., Trae the Truth, London Jae, and Young Dro supplying the most frequent contributions.
