Before a lot of these other artists emerged and began to take over the game, fans of traditional Los Angeles hip hop hoped Nipsey Hussle would take over. He did well with his mixtape releases and made his money through independent releases. Though he shunned the major labels, Nipsey Hussle has kept his control.
Victory Lap was originally intended to be the next mixtape release from Nipsey Hussle, continuing his run. In the end, this looks to not be the case, as Nipsey Hussle took to his Twitter this morning and revealed plans have changed. Another benefit of being independent is deciding what projects drop and how they do.
Nipsey Hussle took to his Twitter this morning and he revealed Victory Lap will be an album. One can only assume this will be his debut album, as Nipsey Hussle said none of the songs that leaked will be on the album. There is no set release date for Victory Lap, but it should drop later this year.
