**Dry Hustle** was a one-off alias used by [[artist:Drew Daniel]] of the experimental electronic band [[artist:Matmos]] shortly before debuting with his dance music-themed side project **[[artist:The Soft Pink Truth]]**. For Dry Hustle's sole release in 2001, *[r=190169]* 12", Daniel combined [[artist:26918]]'s '[m=110665]' acapella with samples of solid gold dropped onto silver. The artist converted $10,000 of savings into gold coins and silver ingots to record his "reductio ad absurdum of the blinged out aesthetic" — i.e., mocking tasteless "bling-bling" jewelry prevalent in commercial hip-hop. The B-side featured vocals by [[artist:265577]] of [[artist:56147]].
