It had literally been years in the making, due to some label issues and setbacks, but after working all that out back in October & signing a partnership deal with Atlantic Records, Nipsey Hussle’s long awaited debut album, Victory Lap, finally saw the light of day today. The 16-song project features guest appearances from Kendrick Lamar, YG, The-Dream, Belly, & more.
Looking to highlight one of the early standouts, other than the previously heard “Dedication” with Kendrick Lamar & “Last Time That I Checc’d” featuring YG, here goes the anticipated collab with Puff Daddy called “Young Nigga.” However, Puff doesn't rap here, but leaves some ad-libs & closing words at the end of the record.
Sampling PartyNextDoor’s “West District,” Nipsey reflects on his come up as a “young nigga” in the game & growing up in LA. Take a listen and let us know what you think! Victory Lap out now on iTunes.
Quotable Lyrics:
Out the gate, lost count, many days in the studio, we slave, but this shit we gotta say
Staring in the space that you fishing for a phrase
Uninspired and your mind, it’s all a paper chase
First you over dedicate, then you notice that you great
And you been the whole time, then it slap you in the face
Then you stack it in your safe, got it cracking, it was fate
You the definition, nigga, laughing to the bank
