Hustling, Music, and Money...
Generations of Americans have grown up with Hip-Hop, but the genre never gets the respect it deserves in business.
Hip-Hop artists and entrepreneurs are famous for working their way from the bottom to the top. Their beginnings in pimping, slinging, and performing frequently led to huge personal incomes and eye-popping album sales.
