I PUT ON FOR MY CITY. I always say that, and I will stick to that mantra. This time the spotlight is on a trio from my hometown of Greensboro, North Carolina. FTH (Full Time Hustlaz) consists of members Durand Bennett (Young Money), Cortney Bryson (Boi One-Da) and Pharaun Coleman (Heron). All three went to school together and during that time the full time hustle began. The group has been creating quite a buzz with a couple of mixtapes Guide to Tha Streetz Vol 1 & Vol 2. Hustling for Dummies. Their latest song, “My Life” is a BANGER. But don’t take it from me; check out these three songs and if you like that, you can download their latest mixtape here. But first let’s check out the artist’s bio.
Everything in life is a Full Time Hustle, whether it is in the streets, in school or at a nine to five job. The hustle that FTH raps about embodies everyone in every sense of the word. This is why the name Full Time Hustlaz is suitable for the group. FTH, which began in 2005 is a hip hop group made up of three rap artists. Durand Bennett (Young Money), Cortney Bryson (Boi One-Da) and Pharaun Coleman (Heron) make up FTH and they consistently deliver original music to their audience. Their music in a style that is able to relate to the life styles that they are living.
The members of FTH all attended the same middle school and high schools growing up. They have been connected musically since they have known each other. They started off in middle school under the same band instructor and continued their musical connection in high school as members of the marching band. Emerging into the rap game was always a part of the larger spectrum of things. Boi One-Da and Young Money began working together professional through the creation and sharing of beats. One-Da was already in a group when the collaboration with Money began. This collaboration led to Young Money being a featured artist on one of the singles for Boi One-Da’s former group. This would be the first time Young Money would ever record in a studio. Boi One-Da eventually left his former group and he was approached by Young with the idea of forming another group with himself and Heron. Heron and Boi One-Da began their musical collaborations while sitting in classes writing in a rap book, passing it back and forth, never knowing that the formation of FTH would come about. Money, Heron, and Boi One-Da agreed that they would form a group and since their creation FTH has performed at many clubs throughout North Carolina including Genesis, Club Touch, Lounge 2800 and Rum Runners.
