Harold James, known by his stage name Hustle Jamez, embodies the true essence of his name, translating his relentless hustle from the streets to the studio.

A dynamic emcee, Hustle Jamez brings an eclectic mix of influences into his music, from the grit of T.I., Nippsey Hussle, Gucci Mane, and Tupac to the soulful storytelling of Marvin Gaye and J.Cole.

Emerging from a culturally rich background, Hustle Jamez spent his formative years across Lake Charles Louisiana, Houston Texas, and Denver Colorado. His versatile upbringing instilled a profound hustle in his spirit, visible not only in his entrepreneurial ventures but also in his profound lyrical compositions.

As a child, Jamez developed a unique way of documenting his thoughts, crafting them into intricate rhymes with varying rhythmic schemes – a creative escapism that later evolved into a potent arsenal of memorable lyrics.

Living on the edge between the streets of Houston and the sanctuary of his studio, Jamez learned tough life lessons. He harnessed music as his savior from incarceration and hustling as a means to transcend negativity and fear. He embraced the dual sides of his journey, expressing the raw, complex truths of his experiences in his music, and thus embodying the quintessential ‘H.E.R.O’ – Hope, Empowerment, Resilience, and Overcoming obstacles.

Jamez’s independent music career has been marked by significant milestones. In 2017, he successfully completed a 25-city independent tour. Despite the tragic loss of his best friend and producer in 2018, Jamez used this setback as a catalyst to grow, opening for the Wailers, Lil Jon & Lil Wayne at the 420 festival in front of a crowd of over 100,000.

A life-altering event unfolded in 2020, when Hustle Jamez miraculously survived a severe car accident in Los Angeles. This traumatic encounter sparked a transformative resurgence of his musical endeavors, which was poured into a deeply expressive song called “God Please (Pray For Me)”, now available on all streaming platforms and YouTube. Hustle Jamez is primed to kick-start a remarkable chapter in 2024.

This multifaceted artist, lyricist, and co-producer is on the brink of unveiling his latest single “On Everything”, produced by Choir Boi, and an international EP, “NiMerica”, in collaboration with Nigerian talent, SmuLee. As he aspires to broaden his musical boundaries overseas, Hustle Jamez is driven to let his distinctive sonic identity resonate with the world, thereby embodying his unstoppable hustle and making an everlasting impact on the global music scene.
