Kind of both surprised and impressed that Nipsey got folks to really come out and pay him $100 for a mixtape. Courtesy of Civil TV:
Nipsey Hussle and Civil TV takes you to 517 N Fairfax Ave for the Proud 2 Pay release party for Crenshaw which released today. A large crowd of hundreds waited outside the pop-up shop which served as the host for the party, to get the opportunity to grab their copy of Crenshaw as well as greet and receive autographs from Neighborhood Nip.
From CBS News:
An NYPD undercover detective has now been arrested in connection with an attack on a family in an SUV by a group of motorcyclists, reports CBS News’ John Miller.
The officer is expected to be charged with criminal mischief for allegedly banging on and breaking the rear window of the SUV. The detective waited four days before coming forward to the NYPD and he allegedly made false statements about his involvement, reports Miller.
The AP identified the officer as Wojciech Braszczok, and said he turned himself in to face riot and criminal mischief charges. He was expected to make a court appearance Wednesday.
Also Tuesday, police arrested Clint Caldwell on gang assault and other charges Tuesday. He’s the sixth person arrested following the September melee, including Braszczok.
In other news, there is new video of a road rage attack in New York City in which several men appear to be kicking the driver of an SUV while he laid on the ground. Police say Alexian Lien was pulled out of his vehicle. Another man is seen stepping in to stop the assault.
A fourth suspect has been charged in the incident. And now, the man who shot the original video sparking the outrage is breaking his silence.
Leave it to JT to continue his assault on the charts; after almost selling a million copies of The 20/20 Experience in the first week (it’s the highest selling album of the year, by the way), Justin Timberlake has returned with Part 2 Of 2, which enters the charts at #1 with a still-very-impressive 348,000 units sold.
You can read more about it and other chart toppers (like Lorde and Haim, for example) over at Hits Daily Double.

Looks like Da Mafia 6ix isn’t just a holdover until the Three 6 Mafia brand returns: the group’s 6ix Commandments mixtape drops October 29th with a new album arriving next year. What’s going on, Juicy J?
From the unstoppable My-ish camp, (home of projects such as Incisive ft Julian Marley — Winners & Donae’o — Party Hard), comes the South London rapper, Danso, with a gritty determination for the UK Rap game. Offering an edgy style and charismatic flow, Danso wax’s lyrical on ‘Bring Me Down’, a dance and heavy bass-line enthused track, smoothed over by Miss Angel’s angelic hook which compliments the hard hitting Rap verses from Danso and feature artist Klayz.
With a video set on a familiar and cold-hearted London backdrop, the lyrical content comes to life in a real-life account of an unforgiving journey in to music, lightened with the positivity of the inspiring and catchy hook, Danso takes a true Rap role in telling a powerful story in his debut track from his album.
With 9 Universal Records compilations already part of his back catalogue, Danso continues on his journey in music, carving out his niche with self-produced track ‘Bring me Down’.
I imagine we’ll hear the full track soon, because Childish Gambino has announced that he will be dropping a new project — titled Because The Internet — sometime during the upcoming Winter season.
