YG & Dom Kennedy Reflect On Nipsey Hussle [PEEP]

Nipsey Hussle’s passing has hit a lot of folks hard and effected many. Dom Kennedy and YG were some of Nip’s frequent collaborators but also real homies outside of this rap shit.

Dom and YG took some time off social media following his death but shared some words for the late, great Slauson Boy on Instagram.

Dom, who broke into the industry with Nipsey was also from South Central L.A. where Nip spent most of his time. They collaborated on numerous songs like “Checc Me Out,” “Don’t Forget About Us,” “I Need That,” “Pleeze,” and most recently “Double Up” off Nip’s ‘Victory Lap’.

“Yesterday we lost everything. My brother knew how GREAT he was. It was a honor to have served with you KING. I’m so sad Nip I don’t know what I’m gonna do. I’m sorry that the people didn’t realize how valuable you were 2 us while u were still here. Thank u 4 being a great friend all the time. I’m happy u got 2 grow and become a man. One who lived with no fear or hate towards anyone. The city loves you Nip and we will FOREVER miss u. #CRENSHAW#NipHusslethegreat,” wrote Dom on an IG post.

Like Dom, YG was rising to success in the rap game with Nipsey. They collaborated on numerous joints and YG shared they were working on a collaborative album entitled ‘2 OF AMERIKKKAZ MOST WANTED’.

“Lost for words kuz i got so many of em 😢💙😔

Nipsey Hussle Talks “Racks In The Middle,” New Music W/ YG & Meek Mill, Grammy Nominations & More [WATCH]

Los Angeles royalty was in attendance on the Power 106 #LIFTOFF show with Justin Credible and DJ Sourmilk. Nipsey Hussle came through to catch up with the homies and talk about his “Racks in the Middle” single, Grammy nominations, new music, and more.

Being raised and repping for the Crenshaw District, Neighbahood Nip is currently working to not only put out great music that reflects the city, but is also looking to make a difference in his community. Recently having a pop-up shop at his Marathon store-front, Hussle comments on what it means to have purchased real estate in the plaza that helped further his rap career.

“On one level it’s sentimental because we grew up right there and that’s the corner that I’m connected to. And then on another level, it’s a great business move and a great piece of real estate to own. Especially right now with what’s going on with that train; that development on Crenshaw. Just the whole area. It’s a great piece of land to own. But, then also like y’all said, it’s connected to us in a much deeper way. My first Nipsey Hussle music was tested in that parking lot, you know what I mean, on just people. And just everything else took place in that parking lot, so full circle moment, for sure.”

Jus and Milk take it a few months back when the question pops up about the moment that had social media on fire during the Lakers brawl that broke out between Rajon Rondo and Chris Paul during a heated game at the Staples Center.

“I’m like, if it’s going to be a melee break out, I just want to be ready! I don’t want to get caught slipping. Pull my pants up and see what else is happening. That’s it. I wasn’t planning no attack. I wasn’t thinking about jumping; just like, if this sh*t spill around on me, you know, I don’t know what’s going on. That’s my instinct!”

Hussle currently has major moves in the works on the music forefront and in merchandising. Being a part of the upcoming DJ Khaled album has helped the rapper develop a new strategy for future collaborations. Nip states, “I went to Miami and did a record for the ‘Father Of Ashad’ album. You know, me and Khaled, we sat and ate food with his family first, talked for like two-three hours, then he played me his album. Played me like seven videos. He got a monster project about to come out. Then he played the record for me. So you know, that order of doing it, that’s probably the new order for me when I do a collab with somebody. Let’s eat, let’s chop it, let’s have a convo, let’s vibe for a minute, then let’s do the music.” The rapper continues, “Because the record came out real personal, real close to me. I think it was just because of how we set up the session.”

With the Grammy ultimately being handed to the sensational Cardi B, Hussle comments on the moment he found out that he was nominated for the Best Rap Album category for this past Grammy Awards.

Hailing from the Bay Area, Sneakk shared that the “Spray” collab was a result of a long day of collabs at the camp where all new Def Jam artists get to come together to work with various producers and the Vallejo native eventually entered into a studio sessions with producer Rico Love and songwriter Houston, where Sneakk freestyled his verse.

“My Grandpa did Gopsel music. That’s where my thought process comes from because I just want to just like talk to the people and like uplift people. So, that’s where the gospel part come in at.

Childish Gambino, YG, Anderson .Paak & More To Perform At Coachella 2019 [PEEP]

Before Coachella tickets went go on-sale I can already tell you they’re sold out with all the hype the lineup created when it was announced last night.

This year highlights more international stars and includes less hip-hop acts than last year. Childish Gambino, Tame Impala, and Ariana Grande lead the pack this year as headliners.

The three day, two weekend event goes down Friday April 12th and 19th, Saturday April 13th and 20th, and Sunday April 14th and 21st.

Day 1 includes performances from Janelle Monáe, Anderson .Paak, Juice WRLD, Ella Mai, Jaden Smith, dvsn, Tierra Whack, and more, with a closing performance from Gambino that should be magical in that setting.

Day 2 will see performances from Solange, Kid Cudi, J Balvin, Wiz Khalifa, Sheck Wes, Virgil Abloh, Sabrina Claudio, SiR, Smino, Murda Beatz, Bazzi, and more.

It will cap off on Sunday, with performances from Pusha-T, Khalid, Bad Bunny, YG, Playboi Carti, H.E.R., Gucci Gang (Gucci Mane, Lil Pump, and Smokepurpp), and Ariana Grande, who had a tough 2018, so this is certainly a light spot for her.

The “Gucci Gang” name in the bill caused a lot of confusion as people automatically thought the fetival made a mistake and meant to say Gucci Mane. LaFlare will be there along with Lil Pump and Smokepurpp as part of a newly formed supergroup called “Gucci Gang.”

Coachella will take place over two weekends in its usual location of Empire Polo Club in Indio, Calif. Passes go on sale Friday, Jan. 4, at 11 a.m. PST at coachella.com.
