Renowned DJ and producer DJ 808 returns with Grand Hustle, an electrifying EP featuring collaborations with rising stars YKB, Jeriq, Major AJ, Pheelz, Kashcoming, Smada, and Zlatan. Following his acclaimed EP 808s Rhapsody and the breakout hit “Bombing,” this new project showcases DJ 808’s ability to merge Afrobeats and Amapiano with unmatched energy and storytelling.
The EP explores themes of resilience, ambition, and celebration, blending amapiano’s rhythmic log drums with classic Afrobeats vibes. The standout track “Blessed” delivers a message of perseverance, while “Rora,” featuring Pheelz and Kashcoming, captures a streetwise, upbeat feel. The infectious “Bombing” continues to light up streaming platforms and solidifies DJ 808’s status as a hitmaker.
Grand Hustle was inspired in part by DJ 808’s “Leader of the New School” campus tour, which saw him perform for over 5,000 fans at Pan Atlantic University. The experience deepened his connection with young listeners and fueled the energy and vision behind the EP.
Building on the success of 808s Rhapsody and high fan expectations, Grand Hustle delivers a fresh yet timeless blend of styles and collaborations, embodying DJ 808’s drive to push Afrobeats and Amapiano forward.
