Screen shot 2010-08-26 at 11.07.54 AMNipsey Hussle’s impressive three-part mixtape series, Bullets Ain’t Got No Name, shows that he has what it takes to become the next big rap artist from the West Coast. I suggest you download and listen to B.A.G.N.N. Vol. 1, B.A.G.N.N. Vol. 2, and B.A.G.N.N. Vol. 3, if you haven’t already.

Now, the L.A. native is preparing to release his much anticipated debut album, South Central State of Mind, on December 21st.  The project is currently eighty percent done, with its second single coming to radio soon!

HipHopAtLunch.com met up with Nipsey Hussle last night to discuss the upcoming video for “Feelin’ Myself,” his debut album’s official release date, working with Atlanta emcee Alley Boy, and the upcoming South Central State Of Mind: The Leak Vol. 1 mixtape.

It would have been great to hear Nipsey lay down a verse next to Alley Boy and Waka Flocka on “Shoot 4 That,” and it’s hilarious to hear him say that Lean was what stopped the song from happening!  Having said that, I’m sure that their upcoming collaboration is going to be hard as hell.

If you’re still sleeping on Alley Boy, check out his impressive Definition Of Fuck Shit mixtape hosted by DJ Holiday.  The Atlantic Records artist’s buzz in Atlanta is ridiculous.

Nipsey Hussle – “Gotta Take It” (Featuring Lloyd)

After hearing Nipsey and Lloyd compliment each other’s flow on “Gotta Take It,” it was only natural that they’d link up for a track on the emerging West Coast emcee’s debut album.  Here’s the album’s lead single, “Feelin’ Myself,” featuring Lloyd.

iTunes – “Feelin’ Myself”

Shout out to 1500 Or Nothin ( “Killer“) for destroying the production on “Feelin’ Myself.”  Be sure to be on the lookout for the video to “Feelin’ Myself” to be dropping real soon, but until that comes, you can enjoy the behind the scenes footage.  Also, if you see Neighborhood Nip wearing anything that you might want to buy yourself, head on over to SlasonAve.com.

Below, I’ve included the intro to Nipsey’s debut album:

Nipsey’s music is often a reflection of his surrounding environment, as he gives us a view into the harsh realities of the LA street life. Before his hip hop career, Nipsey was involved with South Central's Rolling Sixties Crips, and even owned his own clothing store.

Nipsey Hussle's motto of “All Money In, No Money Out,” stresses the labor, regardless of the fruits of one’s labor. This hustle mentality coupled with an impressive amount of co-signs and comparisons to fellow L.A. emcee Snoop Dogg, has brought Nipsey's music to the public eye.
