Seven years ago, Nipsey Hussle made a major move with “Crenshaw,” a tape that opened with the banger “U See Us.”
With Crenshaw, a mixtape that put him on the map in a big way, Nipsey Hussle made a major leap seven years ago. And although the music itself was undoubtedly noteworthy, it was the release process that proved most captivating in the end.
It was instantly clear that Nip's business savvy was a cut above it, opting for a limited release of one thousand copies priced at one hundred dollars each. To no surprise, in twenty-four hours, the project was sold out, driving up the mystique surrounding its growing legacy in the process.
As for the music itself, it feels appropriate to highlight one of the first official song on the project, “U See Us.”
Lyrics Snippet
Top third degree, ten toes in it like a pair of sneaks
Turf trick, he need a pair of cleats
Still I stayed down and emerged a beast
Out of town, I done worked for a week
Let a young ni**a splurge in peace
