A show like MTV Hustle is the need of the hour, giving an edge to the current rap rage in the country. It’s not a reality show, it’s a real show – right from the lyrics, beats and the compositions, and everything is original and created by them. All their hard work and sweat is a result of some brilliant performances we’ve seen so far, and it just keeps getting better.”

I’m simply amazed to see the passion and the talent these female rappers possess.

Star Nick gave a message on feminism and women empowerment, another contestant Agrita a.k.a. Agsy raised her voice against child abuse.
