Reviews: The Hustle: Prince given the boot

The Hustle competition gets more interesting by the day. Wednesday night’s episode saw the contestants get a chance to reminisce about their time and experiences in the rap house.

This week’s first judge was none other than Reason, who tested the MC’s creativity by challenging them to a freestyling contest which is a prerequisite skill for all good rappers nowadays. Reason’s challenge saw Joburg’s Bigstar Johnson (Tumelo Rakumako) come out tops.

The show’s viewers were also impressed by Reason’s freestyling skills and delivery, which is honestly not all that surprising. Besides all the drama surrounding his Reazus Christ artwork, Reason can definitely drop a few rhymes if need be.

The next guest judge was the renowned DJ Dimplez – maker of hit tracks such as Yaya, Way Up and Rands and Nairas. He challenged the contestants to remix a song from their resident judges: AKA, Khuli Chana, and Tumi Molekane.

The added anxiety of performing the judges’ tracks was obvious, and some of the contestants eventually buckled under the pressure. After a great comeback last week, sadly it was time for Prince Vassago (Mpilo Mhlongo) of Joburg to head home.

Look out for our interview with Prince Vassago, coming soon.
