Influences: Eric "E-Hustle!!!" Sweat, was born on July 15th 1980 in NYC's Harlem Hospital. He is also known as "Tha Voice Of Da Streetz!!!" and the "CrimeLife Prez!!!" Eric is multi-ethnic being part African American, Italian, Native American and Puerto Rican."E-Hustle!!!" was raised on the streets of the Lower East Side of New York City. He endured more than his share of the hard knock life! His father, a Vietnam War veteran, died when he was just 2 weeks old! His mother had him and his brothers constantly on the run, packing their things and running away from their family and also running away from ACS.At the age of 6, the "E-Hustle!!! Family" got stuck in the shelter system. Later, when he was just 8 years old, his mother had a nervous breakdown and was diagnosed with schizophrenia. This forced "E-Hustle!!!" and his brothers into foster homes due to lost family contact. "E-Hustle!!!" did not speak a word for almost a year until he wrote his first rhyme at the age of nine and learned how to express himself and deal with the anger and frustration caused by the difficult times merged into his life at such a tender age.By his tenth birthday he found his way to the streets using his birthday money to help and older friend re-up and from there gained the name E-Hustle!!! With his continued street success and hunger for attention he took his profits and started recording a project called "Ana-mosity!" But was too caught up in the streets to finish. Which led to a fall out in his camp! Still holding his CrimeLife team together through everything he led them to mixtapes and open mics throughout the city.In an attempt to gain contacts and get in the game he started working for Dream Team Promotions, which served as the street team for BadBoy and a few other major labels. Being passed up by BadBoy as and artist and surviving a drug raid in the process, he branched off and went over to Tommy Boy where he was also over looked. Running out of options he went back to the streets in search of a new plan. Nothing going as planned he decided to look for new production meeting Frado of Adicted4Life and creating a strong music relationship and later found a home at Violator that he felt would take him to the top but quickly realized that he wasn't a priority when he had a full catalogue ready to push with not even one meeting set up nor did anyone at Violator hear any of the songs.Giving up on the industry but flooding the streets with mixtapes his becoming a headliner on the mixtape riot tour with Lady Sovereign where his lead singles "Let me live my life" "Bounce, Rock" and "Ups and Downs" hit hard and his following grew. While in heavy promotion of his "Tha Voice Of Da Streetz!!!" mixtape He ran into legal issues that stopped his musical interest completely after labels backed out of offers and showed little faith in his assurance that he would over come the situation.With faith and strong representation from his Brother/Attorney he later on went to proving all the non-believers wrong, beating an attempt murder rap and being cleared of most of the charges! Given a third chance at life, Now back with a point to prove "Tha Voice Of Da Streetz!!!" has a lot to say! Showing that he still has it! He released two very strong tracks titled "BadMan" and "Get Em!!!" Which have been helping him recreate his buzz! Also planning to release "I remember" soon! Now working on a new project he has promised to surprise many and offers to do his part to bring the game back to where it belongs. He feels he owes it to the people who believed in him and have always stood behind and beside him! Admitting that he was never actually ready! And feels that now it's his time!
