Can't Knock The Hustle

Can't Knock The Hustle is the 2nd studio album from artist Gary Moore, which was released on June 24th, 2022. Can't Knock The Hustle is fairly different from his first album, "Awesome And Lit Clan Forever", since Gary dives into the rock genre in a couple of his songs. Despite his 2nd album being a musical improvement from his first one, Awesome And Lit Clan Forever was more successful, even if Gary promoted Can't Knock The Hustle constantly.

## Background

On August 4th, 2021, Gary released a statement on his Youtube channel regarding new music, since he had been on hiatus and hasn't released new music since June, when he dropped the original version of "Her A$$ And Pu$$y", titled "Let's Get Wild". In his statement, Gary promised his fans a Kevin Harvick and Denny Hamlin diss track and an asparagus diss track. His Harvick and Hamlin diss track was later scrapped.

On September 17th, 2021, Gary Moore released his first song in months, titled "100 Racks", which was a sequel to his violent "50 Racks". He promoted 100 Racks on both Youtube and Instagram. In November the same year, Gary promised another Christmas song, however, he never released or teased one.

During Gary's feud with Mia Quinn in early March 2022, Gary teased an "ultimate diss track", where he would diss his entire family and friend group. Gary later said that the diss was no longer serious, and was all jokes, which was most definitely a lie, considering the nature of Gary Moore.

On May 26th, 2022, Gary teased his 2nd collab with Jeremiah Garrison on Instagram, with a Spanish caption, titled "20/30", which is the year they'll both graduate. The single was released the next day. According to reports from the New Maxville Times, Gary hosted a "release party" at his house, where all of his friends criticized his new single, including Jeremiah. This obviously led to a fight.

In early June 2022, after another fight with Michael Quinn, Gary immediately recorded his "Michael Diss Track". He released it on June 16th, 2022, after playing a sample for his Instagram followers, which was bombarded with farts.

On June 19th, Gary teased the title track to Can't Knock The Hustle on his Instagram, along with the album cover. He released Can't Knock The Hustle (single) on June 21st. The next day, he revealed that his "Ultimate Diss Track: YOU SUCK!" would be on Can't Knock The Hustle. Gary worked on the rest of the album from June 21st, 22nd, and 23rd. He finally released it at midnight on June 24th, 2022.

## Conception

While most of Gary's album is in the Rap & Hip Hop genre, with one remix, he decided to experiment with the rock genre on tracks "STUPID" and "I'M SO SAD", which were most likely inspired by Machine Gun Kelly's atrocious rock albums.

### Marketing

Gary has constantly promoted his new album since it was announced. He has promoted his album on Social Media, especially TikTok and Instagram. His attempts of promoting his album on TikTok was unsuccessful, as his videos were taken down due to the harassment of Michael Quinn. On July 1st, after being turned down a radio interview on ROX FM, after assault allegations were made public, Gary went to OOUT Radio in Cincinnati, Ohio, to be interviewed by radio host Giovanni Pizzaroni.
