DEMOGRAPHICS (From prohiphop.com)
The demographic The Hypnotized Tour is targeting is a lucrative, young, upwardly mobile market dubbed by many contemporary market researchers as the "Urban Hustler" market.
Many Hip Hop marketers define the "Urban Hustler" as a slice of the U.S. demographic pie that maps on to a lucrative cross-section of the Hip Hop listening and living market.
This new brand of consumer, a segment representing a significant slice, 19.6 million, of the 12-34 year old demographic that is highly coveted by corporate America, yet a segment that remains ill defined in the marketplace.
No longer confined to a demographic living in inner-city zip codes, the "Urban Hustler" has come to represent a specific mindset born out of the unique energy, creativity and diversity of America's urban centers - closely connected to Hip Hop, ethnically diverse with aspirations to succeed and a shared set of passions.
Nearly four in ten (39%) Urban Hustlers live in suburban areas and a similar amount (39%) of the group are white. What further distinguishes the consumers in this market is a shared belief in their own influence.
The Urban Hustler is a self-proclaimed trendsetter, with almost three-quarters (73%) characterizing themselves as someone their friends seek out for advice on the latest trends. They spend a significant portion of their discretionary income hustling to define and keep up with what's hot.
Urban Hustler's are best described by such statements as:
-People look to me for the newest, hottest trends
-I enjoy the energy of urban, city life
-Hip Hop culture is important to me
-Success equals money, fame and respect
