Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
On February 22, 1990 Robert Cousin made his entry into the world not yet knowing his destiny. Growing into his God given talents, Robert became Prince Duke (a.k.a. Young Hustla) to the people that he knew. Born and raised in Bankhead Courts, Duke grew up in the midst of 4 brothers and 4 sisters - turning to Hip-Hop as a way of escape. His main influence was Tupac a legendary rapper. Duke lives by one of Tupacs quotes - He may not be able to change the world, but hes guaranteed to spark the brain that would change the world.
Duke started free styling at the age of 10 - unconsciously knowing that his skills would have been mastered at the age of 16. The way real Hustlers hustle people for their money, Duke hustles his peers with his rhymes - leaving them questioning their abilities to even succeed in todays Hip-Hop game. Because of Dukes style and techniques, most feel threatened by his skills. Those close to him, trying to achieve the same goals in the industry, have distanced themselves out of intimidation of Dukes skills. Although Duke may be young in age, hes as mature as your average Hip-Hop star in the industry today. Duke exhibits the maturity of the average 75 year old man, but when it comes to his talents he can give you a run for your money. Put Duke against anyone in the industry today and believe that they too can get hustled by Duke. As T.I. is the King of the South, Duke is ready to claim his royalties as Prince of the South.
