Nipsey Hussle – Slauson Boy 2
Released: August 15th, 2016
Must Listen: Clarity Feat. Bino Rideaux & Dave East
Nipsey Hussle announced the start of #MarathonMondays a while back, and it was one of the most consistent drops rap has seen in a long time. He dropped track after track every Monday for months and months. There were few delays, few missed delays, and so forth. He brought a ton of rappers along for the ride such as Young Thug, Dave East, Snoop Dogg and more.
During August he announced Slauson Boy 2, which was all of the Marathon Monday’s compiled into one cohesive mixtape, complete with a new track to go along with it. Slauson Boy 2 is the first project we’ve gotten from Nip in a while, and he’s makes up for lost time with this one for sure. If you’re looking for motivation for the Fall this is what you need to be playing. He raps about his struggles, coming up and becoming a better business man, and even touches on police brutality a few times.
It’s vintage Nip, and only a pre-lude to what’s coming on the oft delayed Victory Lap, which he promises is coming soon. For now, we’ll be playing “I Don’t Stress” for the fall when times get hard.
