AWEN, Daniel Rateuke and D4NYO return with Hustler, a powerful reunion that arrives five years after their breakout collaboration Gold. Released as the first official single on Kanté, Hustler sets the tone for the label with a blend of groove, funk and an unmistakable message of resilience. AWEN’s vocals cut straight to the heart with the line “Who you got to be? A Hustler,” grounding the track in purpose while Rateuke’s production brings together punchy percussion, vintage house elements and a vibrant Afro House feel.

Hustler celebrates the people who push forward no matter what, the ones carving paths on their own terms. The release gains even more depth with a standout remix from Atjazz, who transforms the track into a hypnotic, soulful journey filled with warm textures and classic deep house finesse. Early support has already come in from tastemakers like Purple Disco Machine, David Penn, Hyenah, Sammi Ferrer and Don Diablo, highlighting the impact the track is making across the scene.

For Kanté, Hustler is a defining opening statement. For AWEN and Daniel Rateuke, it is a reminder of their chemistry and their shared commitment to meaningful, uplifting Afro House. In AWEN’s own words, this one is for the people who do not settle. For the hustlers who rise, grind and keep moving forward.
