Hustle Bones
Hustle Bones is raw energy wrapped in razor wire—an underground force grinding through Florida’s heat with cold-blooded delivery and soul-deep bars. Raised on boom bap and baptized in street realism, his sound hits like shattered vinyl and curb-stomped tape decks—fractured, filthy, and unforgettable.
Repping Shooting Gallery Records powered by Yellow Houseboat Entertainment, Hustle Bones doesn’t just rap—he unloads. Each verse is a blast of survival, strategy, and unshakable confidence, often alongside longtime collaborator Young Musket, forming a duo with chemistry as dangerous as it is electric.
With a voice that cuts through static and a style rooted in grime, grit, and Florida humidity, Hustle Bones is building something timeless—one verse, one scar, one hustle at a time.

Young Musket
Young Musket is a Florida-based hip-hop producer, sound designer, and MPC specialist known for his raw, emotionally charged instrumentals that fuse Southern grit with golden-era soul. As the flagship producer for Shooting Gallery Records and a co-founder of Yellow Houseboat Entertainment, Musket has carved a distinct lane in the underground scene — balancing chopped gospel samples with bruising drums, experimental textures, and cinematic arrangements that beg for lyrical warfare.
Raised in Brevard County and deeply rooted in the traditions of East Coast boom bap, Dirty South soul, and lo-fi grit, Young Musket crafts beats that feel both timeless and revolutionary. Whether it’s haunting, drumless canvases for late-night freestyles or horn-heavy bangers made to blow out speakers, every production is intentionally layered, emotionally driven, and unmistakably human.
Musket’s catalog includes full-length projects with standout artists like Hustle Bones, Jay Cartesian, and Lil Chubby as well as a growing archive of flips, beat tapes, and one-off instrumentals that have found homes across the indie hip-hop spectrum. His process is analog-first and texture-forward — often starting with dusty vinyl samples or cassette recordings and building them out on hardware like the MPC One and SP-series samplers.
