"Hustlin'" By Rick Ross With The Runners | BackTrak
Episode 17
Friday, 9 May, 2025

In this episode of BackTrak, Mayne of The Runners cracks open the vault and rebuilds the beat that lit a fire under Rick Ross’ career: Hustlin’. From the cinematic horn stabs to the heavyweight drums, he takes us inside the moment this anthem was born—and how it turned a local Miami record into a national street sermon. Industry bidding wars, studio myths, and one of the coldest hooks in rap history. This is the story of a beat that wouldn’t wait. 0:00 Intro 1:52 Running The Game 4:35 The Next Neptunes/Starting in Orlando, Florida 5:34 Attending Full Sail and Meeting Key Connections 7:33 First Equipment Used: Korg N364 10:39 Discovering Production As a Career 12:48 Developing Roles in The Runners 14:41 First placements 16:09 The Origin of The Runners name 17:46 Monumental impact: Bringing Florida/Miami Back on the Map 24:09 Favorite Produced Record: Rihanna's "Cheers" 27:58 Inspired by Avril Lavigne Sample Bridge For "Cheers" 32:17 The mindset for "Hustlin" After Father's Passing 34:02 Recreating "Hustling" 49:18 Drums 55:18 Did Mayne Start This 808 Trend? 1:01:18 The Vocal Sample 🔥 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more beat deconstructions!
