Nipsey Hussle “Crenshaw” Release Date, Cover Art, Tracklisting, Stream

    Nipsey Hussle has released the cover art for Crenshaw, his forthcoming project with DJ Drama. The collection is slated for an October 8 release, as per rapradar.com.

    In December 2012, the California rapper tweeted that his The Marathon 3: Victory Lap mixtape would arrive in early 2013. That project has yet to be released.

    In July, Nipsey Hussle told TMZ that “hyper-sensitive LAPD officers” approached him after a bottle was thrown at his Mercedes Benz coupe.

    After Nipsey Hussle and his brother exited the car to confront the vandals, members of the Los Angeles Police Department allegedly handcuffed the rapper and searched his car, he told the site. According to Nipsey Hussle, his handicapped brother was mistreated by officials. “They pushed his face on the concrete,” Nipsey Hussle said at the time. “They dropped a knee in his spine then twisted his arm and cuffed him while he was not resisting.”

    In December 2010, Nipsey Hussle released the first installment in the Marathon trilogy. It was followed by The Marathon Continues in November 2011.

    The cover art for Crenshaw is below.

      1. It’s a free album. They just call it a mixtape. Most of these artists use tracks that may have been intended for an album but get old on the hard drive. It’s a free album. It’s hard to put an album out in this climate. If you notice it not a lot of hip hop albums that drop.

      1. fuk niggaz in LA? yet you posting ANONYMOUS! fake ass gangster…. fuck the EAST, MIDWEST, SOUTH and everyone in between! WESTCOAST IS THE BEST COAST!

    1. its pointless to put out an album no one will buy. wit mixtapes you dont have to deal with the hassle of sample clearances and all that other BS. and you can STILL go out and get that show money. plus, most mixtapes are album quality now anyway. he could probably use the same songs, put it out as an LP and niggas wouldn’t know the difference. It’s about the music, not the platform….

      1. yeah you already know it. hes buddies with officer ricky, he gave him the blueprint on how fake niggas can survive this industry

      2. lolol @ the trolls how can he be a fake crip when hes claiming a gang and has a store on crenshaw n slauson in the heart of the neighborhood he claims?

    2. Crenshaw’s mixtape is a tape before the album .. He announced that himself .. victory Lap Aka TM3 is still dropping … Let’s get it Nip !

    3. I thought this dude was supposed to be some gangster what the fuck he doing songs with a cop for? I cant respect that

      1. not defending the fat liar fuck ricky but he aint no cop, plus most c.o`s are into alot of dirt. Dude should have fessed up from the start from the start, anyway cant respect a liar so fuck that nigga

      2. gonna drive away a lot of potential listeners though.

        i know i pass on anything officer ricky touches cause it all sounds the same and i knows hes lying about everything

      3. Most squares and geeks don’t know the difference between a Cop or a CO but Nipsey is actually from the streets so he doesent have that problem.

        Ross is going to be on rappers albums and mixtapes who cater to a street audience and even rappers who are mainstream like JayZ, Nas, Kanye, & Drake. Rappers have zero respect for your feelings and opinions so they collab with Ross and whomever else they feel like making music with.

      4. LOL at the nerd kid above saying a Ross feature will drive away potential listeners as if Nipsey cares about the nerds on blogs who are obsessed with Ross. Nipseys core fanbase are from the streets so they know what’s up.

    4. I member when hussle in the house single came out I was hyped for nipseys album n then he got the papoose/Saigon treatment fuck is wrong wit these labels? Where my niggas album at

    5. Nipsey the West is waiting for your album. Hurry up before you become shelved and bitter like a couple of them NY cats. Lol they old, bitter, frustated, broke and overlooked.

    6. Is crenshaw an original mixtape? What I mean by that is : Is nipsey rappin’ over original beats?

      Because I know ”blessings” beat is ”Blood of Christ” by Game…

      I wonder if every beats are borrowed beats. Because I know some mixtape are based on this principle, some are not.

      And what about the Marathon, Marathon continues etc. I can recognize some beats sometimes but, I mean, I don’t know all the beats ever made!!!

      Thank you very much

      1. If I’m not mistaken, the majority is always original production. And check Bullets Ain’t Got No Name 2 & 3 before anything else.
