Nipsey Hu$$le - Keys to the City

Nipsey Hussle - Keys to the City

Producer: DJay Cas & Eng

Album: Tha Marathon

Label: All Money In

Man, what needs to happen for us to get that long-awaited album from New West representative Nipsey Hu$$le? The man was a XXL Freshman, but still no release date. The man dropped the Booth acclaimed Feelin’ Myself, but still no release date. And now that he’s been given the Keys to the City? Still no release date. A new single set to appear on his upcoming Tha Marathon project, not his long-awaited South Central State of Mind album, Keys to the City takes an absolutely entrancing beat from DJay Cas & Eng, who lace soaring vocals with live percussion, and has Nipsey add the kind of street lyricism that initially earned him top up-and-comer status, flipping between bravado and social consciousness with ease: “Forget about the risks we took? I never can. Rebel in this white man’s world until they bury him.” Do lines like that have you fiending to cop Tha Marathon? You’ll just have to wait for, you guessed it, the project to receive a solid release date, though we’re promised details are coming “very soon.” Keep it locked.

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 11684	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs Nipsey has released (or has had leaked) lots of material with synth-heavy production, so this DJay Cas-produced joint is both a nice change of pace and a preview of what his forthcoming project will most likely sound like. If you weren't already a fan, I am not sure thing will turn you, but if you were enjoy! Follow @DJBooth
