    Natural Born Hustler’ by Josh Hoyer & Soul Colossal is a collection of timeless songs slated to last through the decades. In an age where artists get caught up with keeping up with the times and fitting into the conversation, Hoyer and his musical cohorts make music for grown folks with their authentic, real, and honest songwriting. Produced by Color Red founder Eddie Roberts, ‘Natural Born Hustler’ speaks to fans of early 70s funky blues, doo-wop with a modern twist, and spellbinding psychedelic soul. From start to finish, each song breathes a life of its own into the record and it is evident that Hoyer’s spirited fanbase and eclectic palette of sounds are not confined by age, upbringing, religion, creed, or differences—they are meant for anyone who seeks the medicine of music.

lyrics

Everyone that I know has had hard luck.
Everyone that I meet could be stronger.
I think we need some relief from the pressure.
Just some light to see us through.
Everyone has demons in the mirror.
Some cry out for everything to be clearer.
I'd give almost anything to be near her.
Just some love to see me through.
There comes a time to just lay it down.
We all need to breathe sometimes.
Let the spirit fill you and let the evening become the night.
See I've been haunted through every season.
I have searched and found every reason.
I want to let the flood in and make peace with the truth.
To see it through.
So many people's lives are painful.
Is it yourself or your God should be shameful?
Ask all day long, but when the rain falls, only joy can see you through.
There comes a time to just lay it down.
We all need to breathe sometimes.
Let the spirit fill you and let the evening become the night.
Let the evening become the night.
