DJ Drama's upcoming album has been drawing a lot of hype over the past few weeks, especially he confirmed the late Nipsey Hussle will be on the project.
On Tuesday, February 28, a clip from the Gangsta Grillz founder's private listening session for his album I'm Really Like That made the rounds on social media. In the brief video, fans can hear a snippet from his unreleased collaboration with Nip. As HipHopDX notes, the vocals stem from Nipsey Hussle's "State of Mind" produced by Mike & Keys, which debuted as part of his Marathon Mondays series in 2016.
"Rest in peace my brother Nipsey Hussle," Drama said in the clip, "That's going to be a big tune right there. Big tune."
DJ Drama and Nipsey Hussle have worked together in the past. Back in 2012, the Philly native got Nip together with Jadakiss, CeeLo Green and Jeezy for his song "Never Die" produced by Cardiak. The song appeared on Drama's fourth solo album Quality Street Music featuring other collaborations with T-Pain, Yo Gotti, 2 Chainz, Jeremih, Ludacris, Future and plenty more. Drama also hosted Nip's eighth mixtape Crenshaw in 2013.
Dram Brady's upcoming collaboration with Nip will appear on his upcoming album I'm Really Like That. So far, the Generation Now co-founder has already released a couple of songs that might appear on the LP including "HO4ME" featuring A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie and Lil Baby plus "Forever" featuring Fabolous, Benny The Butcher, Jim Jones and Capella Grey.
There's no confirmed release date for Drama's album yet, but it's bound to arrive sometime soon. He's also got another project in the works with Pusha T.
