Hustling Yute History by Cue P
Hustling yute was written in 2007 and eventually recorded in 2008. It was a very difficult period in my life due to the fact that my mom had to retire early from her job as a teacher at the Porus Primary school due to illness, which saw her money got tied up for months and left her wash belly (Cue P) stranded and strap for cash. I was in Second year at UWI, fortunately I got a part time work which gave me a stipend to survive on. I was home one day realizing that after I paid my rent, money was hardly ever there for food. One morning I woke up and heat up water to make tea, afterwards realizing that I had no sugar. I had to drink hot water instead which became the norm after awhile. So in order to solve to my food problem, I stole food from various food stores. My conscience started to affect me and the struggles and hardship was captured in a song about my life called “Hustling Yute”. The song was written when I was walking home from football training on UWI campus, to Elleston Flats where I lived at the time, for a block on Taylor Hall name Stallion.
