What's good HipHoppas! First and foremost Rise In Power the late great Nipsey Hussle who was murdered on March 31, 2019 in front of his "The Marathon Clothing" store. His legacy & work will live on forever in the hearts, minds & souls of those in & outside of his community, especially in Hip Hop. With that being said, we got Jhonson G & Nasty G to collab and talk about Nipsey Hussle's "Victory Lap". Hope you guys enjoy the video! And btw I did not realize that Double Up & Right Hand 2 God were bonus tracks so yes the album did technically end on Real Big which makes sense from the sound of it. "Victory Lap" is the 1st studio album by Late LA Emcee & Entrepreneur Ermias Asghedom a.k.a. Nipsey Hussle. The album was released on February 16, 2018 by All Money In No Money Out & Atlantic Records. The album would go on to receive a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album in he 2019 Grammy Music Awards.
