Though he&#8217;d go on to deliver numerous classic street-level projects in the time since, Victory Lap is officially billed as Hussle\u2019s debut. The album is rife with the neo-G-funk sound that made his name (\u201cLast Time That I Checc\u2019d,\u201d \u201cDedication\u201d) as well as the platforms he&#8217;s most proud of: turf-life activism and black business advocacy (\u201cYoung N***a,\u201d \u201cMillion While You Young\u201d). The clout of guests like Puff Daddy, Kendrick Lamar, and Cee-Lo Green is not to be understated, but Hussle\u2019s collaborators, no matter their own fame, understand his importance.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2874\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2874\" style=\"width: 358px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2874\" src=\"http:\/\/streamapse.com\/Magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/763px-NipseyHussleMuralGraffitiAlleyToronto-212x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"358\" height=\"507\" srcset=\"http:\/\/streamapse.com\/Magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/763px-NipseyHussleMuralGraffitiAlleyToronto-212x300.jpg 212w, http:\/\/streamapse.com\/Magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/763px-NipseyHussleMuralGraffitiAlleyToronto-723x1024.jpg 723w, http:\/\/streamapse.com\/Magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/763px-NipseyHussleMuralGraffitiAlleyToronto.jpg 763w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 358px) 100vw, 358px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2874\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">By DaddySoFroze &#8211; Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0, https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/w\/index.php?curid=91944658<br \/>https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/4.0\/<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2873\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2873\" style=\"width: 495px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2873\" src=\"http:\/\/streamapse.com\/Magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Nipsey-Hussle-300x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"495\" height=\"495\" srcset=\"http:\/\/streamapse.com\/Magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Nipsey-Hussle-300x300.jpeg 300w, http:\/\/streamapse.com\/Magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Nipsey-Hussle-150x150.jpeg 150w, http:\/\/streamapse.com\/Magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Nipsey-Hussle.jpeg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 495px) 100vw, 495px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2873\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"http:\/\/streamapse.com\/more-albums-to-watch\/stream-nipsey-hussle-victory-lap\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stream Victory Lap by Nipsey Hussle<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the time he broke in 2008, Nipsey Hussle was one of the West Coast\u2019s brightest hopes for a post-Snoop Dogg superstar.
