‘Hustle Hai‘, the ultimate poker anthem launched by 9stacks is going viral
Produced by the popular rapper duo, Dependent Artists – Jizzy and Talha, this is the first poker-themed rap anthem.

“We loved the vibe of 9stacks and wanted to create a song that resonates with everyone in our generation. Poker is a lot like life and we wanted to focus on how we are all hustlers in a way — finding ways to achieve our dreams despite hurdles and obstacles that may come our way,” says Jasmeet Singh, (Jizzy) who co-wrote the song with Talha.
The peppy number is an ode to the indomitable human spirit that never backs down from taking up challenges and hustling to achieve them. Playing poker is a lot like playing the game of life and the song speaks about the struggles of daily life as well as the highs and lows a poker player faces everyday on the tables. At the end of the day, struggle and hustle are what make the difference.
The campaign on TikTok has seen a lot of participation from top TikTok influencers like Mrunal, Mr. Manav, Ashi Khanna, Sanket Mehta, Tanzeel Khan, Naveen Sharma, Jissa Paul, Awez Darbar, Unnati, Aashna Hegde resulting in hundreds of users dancing on the viral song. 9stacks has also been running a contest where users have been sharing videos of them dancing to Hustle Hai – the entries for the TikTok contest can be viewed under #Hustlewith9stacks (http://vm.tiktok.com/eo9dsD/)
With groovy lyrics and extremely danceable beats, the song has crossed more than 2 Million views on YouTube and Instagram.
“We are aggressively moving to capture the tier 2 and tier 3 markets for poker, and music has always been a very good medium to connect with our target audience. Hustle Hai is a song about how today’s generation is always hustling to get better, do better and is always on the go to realise their dreams. The song has gone viral on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, and Youtube – which are the places where our young target audience consumes its content, having largely moved away from traditional mass media channels,” says 9stacks CEO and Co-founder, Sudhir Kamath.
