Disco D Documentary – Hustle Harder (Video)

Much respect to the late Disco D. Interestingly enough, I came across this promo vid for Hustle Harder, which appears to be a documentary/instructional/beatmaking DVD for those looking forward to a career in music production. Perhaps I’ll have a little more info or even a review once I’m able to track down a copy of the full DVD. However, from what I’ve seen so far, this looks to be a quality investment of time and seems to confirm what has been said about his general good nature and personality. It’s hard to believe that he’s no longer with us.
