This is Michael Mixerr. Today I am going write New Breed Of Hustlas (NBOH) debut album Ratha B A Hustla. This is the first album the NBOH group on their independent label Mobstyle Records. (now Repdatent) The album was released in 1993. Which was independently self-released and distributed by their home label.
New Breed Of Hustlas (NBH or NBOH) consisted of Baby Fresh, G. Bubs (R.I.P.), Cas-Loc (AKA Mr. Cas) (R.I.P.), and Silk from Riverside. (Mr. Cas and G. Bubs are dead.) 3 Wheelin' and Rather B A Hustla are the singles.
The album is laced with super heavy bass lines, heavy pounding guitar notes, and G-Funk beats. The alto sax is perfect. This album is the most underrated album to come out of the Fresno-Bakersfield area, preferably Riverside, CA. (NBOH was a group from Riverside, CA) Themes are kickin' it with the homies', shooting dice, shooting hoops, selling dope with the homies, rolling deep (VERY DEEP), gangbanging, violence, sex, and misogyny. You get the idea. To all you G-Funk fans out there, you'll this hrd-ass bassline on tracks such as Nyte Games, Rather B A Hustla, and Mind Of a Gangsta. Rather B A Hustla samples songs You Can't Run Away by Bar-Keys and the song Friends by Whodini. Mind Of a Gangsta samples James Brown, Lonnie Liston Smith, along with West Coast classic heavyweights N.W.A, The D.O.C., and WC. Anotha Dolla samples Love TKO. Borderline Bitchh is a song about sex. (It has a Red Hot Chili Peppers song sample too! Along with Parliament.)
This album is the most underrated album to come out of the Fresno-Bakersfield area, preferably Riverside, CA. I surprised this album did not hit national waves on the radio. NBOH should have had a joint distribution deal with RED Distribution, CBS, or RCA.
I rate this album, Rather B A Hustla, 5/5*****!
