Step back into the chaos and charisma of Miami, 1988 — when fast money ruled the streets, loyalty had a price, and the game moved faster than the law could keep up.

The Hustlers Archive digs deep into the untold stories of the crack era — the rise of street empires, the fall of legends, and the price everyone paid chasing the American dream. Narrated with grit and soul by DJ Vinyl Richie, this episode brings you the real energy of the late ’80s Miami underworld — where cash flowed heavy, consequences hit harder, and survival was the only code that mattered.

In 1954, advertisers were taught how to “sell to the Negro.” They studied the psychology, language, and habits of Black consumers — not to empower them, but to profit from them. Decades later, the same playbook still runs… just with new packaging, new faces, and digital upgrades.

They Still Selling to Us is a raw, reflective documentary that uses original 1950s marketing audio, layered with modern narration and visual storytelling, to expose how capitalism continues to rebrand control as culture. From record stores to sneaker drops, from commercials to Instagram ads — the tactics never stopped.

Produced by Hustlers Archive, this film bridges history, marketing, and truth, revealing how every era finds a new way to put a price tag on Black influence.

“They learned how to sell to us. We learned how to sell it back.”

An exclusive preserved interview from The Hustlers Archive.

Recorded during a pivotal moment in trap history — right after Jeezy’s legendary “Trap or Die” mixtape and just before his major-label debut “Thug Motivation 101” — this session captures Jeezy speaking openly about his beef with Gucci Mane, the tension in the streets, and the mindset of a hustler on the edge of fame.

Narrated by DJ Vinyl Richie and originally hosted by The Homie Mad Links, this rare piece of audio gives listeners a raw look at the transition from the underground grind to global recognition.

No filters, no rewrites — just the South in its purest form.

Before the peace. Before the handshake. Before the Verzuz.
This is the lost interview that defined a generation of trap music.

Unearthed from the vault and curated by Hustlers Archives, this exclusive footage captures Gucci Mane’s raw, unfiltered words from his early Mad Linx interview — one of the rare moments he opened up about the deadly rivalry that reshaped Atlanta hip-hop forever.

Narrated by DJ Vinyl Richie, this documentary peels back the layers on one of the South’s most infamous feuds — revealing the pain, pride, and prophecy behind two kings of the same city.

From the streets to the studio, The Lost Episode serves as a time capsule of the trap’s golden era — preserved with respect, told with truth, and delivered the way it was meant to be heard:
Straight from the vault. Straight from the real.

From the Pavement to the Culture: Hip-Hop’s Early Days takes listeners back to where the movement was born — the pavement.

Before record deals, before radio spins, before social media — hip-hop lived outside. It was block parties, boom boxes, broken microphones, and pure imagination.

Narrated by DJ Vinyl Richie, curator of The Hustlers Archive, this documentary explores how the rhythm, rebellion, and resilience of the streets created a global culture.

Produced and presented by Hustlers Lounge, this piece highlights the early days, the real stories, and the raw hustle that built an empire out of sound.

Before Don “Magic” Juan had the spotlight up in Chicago or them slick-talking players out West, there was Harold — the quiet legend of Dallas. Southern pimpin’ in the 80s had its own rhythm, its own rules, and Harold played the game like a gentleman with a razor’s edge.

This rare footage comes straight from The Hustlers Archives — filmed by Tommy D back in 1983 when he was following Harold through Oak Cliff and South Dallas. No scripts, no filters, just real street sociology. The cars, the conversation, the code — all captured on tape before the world started glamorizing what they never lived.

This ain’t about glorifying the game. It’s about preserving a piece of history most people never saw. A time when talk was slick, respect was currency, and every night told a story.
