New Music: Nipsey Hussle - 'The Marathon' [Mixtape]

Nipsey Hussle gives the streets what they’ve been waiting for with the release of his mixtape The Marathon. The 18-track freebie is the precursor to his debut studio album South Central State of Mind, due in 2011. The West Coast MC is hoping to get out of his deal with Epic Records so he can release the album independently.

“I’m in the process of negotiating my release right now,” he told HipHopDX. “And we just gonna go back to doing what we been doing, as far as an independent company and serving our region. But it wasn’t really no big fallout with the label or nothin’ like that.”
