: The song famously samples Jay-Z’s 1998 hit "Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)" . Interestingly, Jay-Z had originally secured rights that allowed future hip-hop artists to use the sample more easily, a move Hussle described as being "ahead of the curve".
"Hussle & Motivate" encapsulates the transition from survival to leadership.
The track is celebrated for its masterful production, which anchors the album's West Coast G-Funk sound.
