This album was released in 1975 by Polydor, at a time when James Brown was experimenting with the funk and disco sounds of the era. The title reflects two main themes: the popular 'Hustle' dance craze and an instrumental track titled 'Dead on the Double Bump'.
The record was recorded at Polydor studios and produced by James Brown himself. Although it did not achieve the massive success of his earlier works, it contains tracks that show his transition towards a more danceable and orchestrated funk.
The album cover features James Brown in a flashy outfit, typical of his 1970s style. The album did not produce major singles, but it is valued by collectors for its rarity and for capturing a moment of experimentation in his career.
