Born in 1948 in Atlanta, Georgia, Ross 'Hustle' Washington, grew up in a family where hard work and perseverance were part of everyday life. His parents, both small business owners, instilled in him the values of diligence and independence-themes that would later permeate his music. Marcus’s musical journey began in the church choir, eventually leading to his participation in the local R&B scene during his teenage years.His breakout hit, "Everyday I'm Hustlin'," became an anthem for ambition and self-reliance. The song quickly caught fire, becoming a motivational soundtrack for many aspiring entrepreneurs and artists. Beyond his music, Ross was a vocal advocate for economic empowerment within the black community. He frequently spoke at community events and participated in panels discussing financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and ownership. His efforts to encourage economic independence were pivotal in inspiring a generation to envision and work towards a future where they held the reins.
this song reminds me of the day my big bro got released from Folsom State prison back in 75. I had this joint jamming out the Delta 88 on the way to get him.
Who remembers the Uncle Robert Pepper Sauce ads from 1978. This brings me back to those Sunday roast days and this song playing in the background. Miss those days man.
