Yung Joc is hustling. His new album is on
the way and he’s getting buzz all around. Now, the rapper on Forbes
list of top paid rappers, explained that his hustle is hip-hop and he’s
ready to make even more cake.
“My hustle is hip-hop,” he recently told
MTV. “That’s what I’m good with and I have to supply the demand. People
want a hit record, I have to give that to them. People want to see a good show,
I have to give that to them.”
Joc also went on to claim he is not what
most people take him for. Most people believe he is a pop-loving rapper, who
isn’t down with more serious hip-hop. He explains that is a misconception.
“I grew up listening to cats that people would
never guess,” he noted. “People look at my collection like,
‘Yo, you had The Purple Tape [Raekwon’s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx]? What you
doing with this?’ I love hip-hop. I’m a fan first and foremost. I may not be
able to emulate the lyricist part of the lyricism, but I do understand
concepts, a good vibe. I never try to be what I ain’t. Whatever you hear me
say, I did that.”
The Game, Diddy, Jim
Jones, Rick Ross, Snoop Dogg, Young Dro
and others are all featured on Joc’s latest LP. The new LP
will be out tomorrow, and it features his latest single, Coffee Shop.
Joc fans can also catch him on tour with Screamfest ’07.
