The Hustle Gang helmsman later spoke on feeding off of his audience’s energy during his live performances.
“When you record records you putting out energy,” he said. “And when you come to a performance hopefully you get a room filled with people who feed off that energy and give it back to you. And when they give it back to you then you transfer it back to them. It’s an exchange of energy. And as soon as we get out there we gon’ see how ready they is [to turn up].”
