For the past couple of months, Nipsey Hussle has been treating us with brand new tracks as part of his Marathon Monday series. After celebrating his birthday yesterday, Hussle complies all of his Marathon Monday records into a new mixtape, titled Slauson Boy 2. With 17 tracks, the project features contributions from Snoop Dogg, Young Thug, Dave East, Kirko Bangz, and more.

Over the years of me making and releasing music, I’ve been blessed to have a relationship with thousands, if not millions of people. There has been 8 recording processes, 8 buzz building processes, and 8 release dates. There has been 8 review processes and 8 opportunities for me to learn and pickup on what’s connecting with the people who consume this music.

The most consistent and common denominator in the music of mines that truly “CONNECTED” has been when the source material for the content…was MY PERSONAL LIFE EXPERIENCE.

When the words become an attempt to articulate truths that have no vocabulary…truths that express themselves in the form of emotional frequency…not words…then the people connected.

I think this because there was a place where these things happened…there was a smell…there was a feeling…even a taste sometimes…like when the tension got so intense it turned into nausea and you got that salty…”I’m bout to throw up” taste in your mouth. Those thoughts and emotions can be relived if they are verbally expressed properly. That’s what I aimed to create for my listeners with VICTORY LAP.

That being said, I’m going to bring the 1st 5 supporters of the Crenshaw PROUD2PAY campaign and the 1st 5 supporters of the Mailbox Money PROUD2PAY campaign on a guided tour through the places and situations that VICTORY LAP was inspired by to serve as an attempt to recreate musically.

I will personally play the album and narrate and elaborate on key songs and lines. We will physically visit the locations being referenced on the album to put our feet on the ground, breath the air, taste the food, and feel climate. While we listen to the music, we will create what we coined as an:

“Intimate Multi-Sensory Music Experience”

Almost like a real life directors cut of a film.

Thank you for all the feedback and years of honest convos. You give me the answers and motivation I need to keep going and keep growing. I hope I do the same for u. #PROUD2PAYUBACK!
