It's gotta be evidence of a divine presence, because it wasn't that I'm just the smartest dude or just wiggled my way through. That's what I was talking about in that line. Then to be in the position I find myself in as an artist and entrepreneur who has respect around the world - that's legendary. So to make it out mentally stable and not in prison and not on drugs, that's a win.

Everybody got bullet wounds and felonies and strikes. in my section of the Crenshaw District, in the Rollin 60s, none of my peers survived. If you check the stats - the murder rates and incarceration rates in the years I was a teenager in L.A. 'I'm a urban legend / South Central in a certain section / Can't explain how I curbed detectives, guess it's / Evidence of a divine presence.' That's certainly no defense, but perhaps some missing context. Nipsey's hustle speaks to those who often develop a paranoid sense of hypermasculinity in order to survive environments where their own identity is a primary target. He declined to speak on it directly, saying he preferred to let the music speak for itself. When I talked to him for the exclusive breakdown of his album with NPR Music, Nipsey was still feeling the heat from social media after an Instagram post of him praising a positive image of young black boys was widely condemned for simultaneously expressing homophobic sentiments. A long-time member of L.A.'s notorious Rollin' 60s Crips, Nipsey's gangland snarl remains as visceral as ever, but the former street entrepreneur hustles legally now, a reformed hard-head turned inspiration to the hood. And on Victory Lap, the first release from his multi-album deal with Atlantic Records, he opens the vault to reveal of fresh stockpile of thug motivation. But it takes more than an innate business ethic to make great music. And it paid in dividends: $100,000 in the first 24 hours, to be exact - even Jay-Z respected his hustle enough to order 100 copies. This is same artist, after all, who had the audacity to price physical copies of his 2013 mixtape Crenshaw at $100 a pop, when a still woefully devalued music industry had rappers en masse giving away their music for free.

A decade in the waiting, Nipsey Hussle's Victory Lap is more than an anticipated major-label debut - it's a testament to the independent grind he employed to cultivate a dedicated fanbase.
