Nipsey Hussle‘s brother Blacc Sam has confirmed a posthumous album from the late rapper will be arriving this summer.
Appearing on Power 106’s Brown Bag Morning Show on Wednesday (February 26), Sam revealed the LP will be a joint project with Bino Rideaux and that it was recorded before Nipsey was killed in 2019.

“If Hussle didn’t actually do the verse or work with the person or put together the blueprint for the project, we not doing it,” Sam said. “He did something with Bino and there’s a new project that we’re about to release. This was a project that he had with Bino that was pretty much like 80% finished.”
He continued: “So the team kind of came in, got some unreleased verses and music that he had done with Bino and just tightened it up. It sounds amazing. It should be coming out around this summer. The team is real excited. We just finished going over all the stuff for the last three weeks with everybody.”

Blacc Sam was at the show to promote Nipsey Hussle’s Marathon Brand amid the opening of a new burger restaurant in his home city of Los Angeles.
The restaurant opens on Saturday (March 1) on Melrose and Gardner, just a short distance from Nipsey’s Marathon clothing store, and will sell smash burgers.

The dining room of the restaurant will also feature images of the late rapper and Saturday’s grand opening will see the first 100 customers eat for free.
“The Marathon team is excited to expand the brand into the restaurant industry here in L.A.,” the late rapper’s team said in a statement.
“When Nipsey birthed The Marathon (Brand), launching it with The Marathon mixtape in 2010, the goal was always to enterprise this into a full lifestyle brand — music, fashion, food/hospitality, and entertainment. This is another step towards reaching Hussle’s vision.”
Marathon Burger originally debuted last October as a pop-up restaurant selling burgers and chicken sandwiches, the brainchild of Sam.

Nipsey began his Marathon brand back in 2010 and it has since been carried on by his estate and family following his murder in 2019.
The rapper’s killer, Eric Holder, recently attempted to overturn his 2022 conviction for fatally shooting the beloved figure, but the bid was squashed by an appeals court.
