It’s hard to call something a throwback when whatever the ‘throwback’ sound plays on a futuristic soundtrack. Such is the case for Natural Born Hustler, the latest, 2021 release from Josh Hoyer and Soul Colossal, a horn heavy record of rich soulful vocals and laid back, subtle funk melodies. “Hustler” kicks things off with Josh Hoyer singing of being a ‘natural born, hustler’, throwing out a confident rally cry and challenge that if ‘the world wants you to sink or swim, I ain’t going under’. Cuts like “Whisper” and “Changing” are easy-going, slow, steady and perfect slow dance material while “Sunday Lies” is a big blast of hip as Hoyer moves between spoken word and scatting vocals. 
The tempo is kicked up for “The Night”, “Automatic” is a Bluesy ballad that Hoyer belts out with a cocktail-lounge croon.  Josh Hoyer and Soul Colassal are a perfect match; powerhouse vocals pushing a stacked band that could score a Tarantino film. Natural Born Hustler is a big package of groove that flows from heavy Soul and Funk to Gospel R&B.
