YG has announced the delay of his new album amidst the death of Nipsey Hussle.
While the entire rap community is still grappling with the untimely death of one of its own, YG, who is a close friend of Nipsey Hussle, has put the breaks on his new music. In a not so surprising move, the West Coast rapper announced on Twitter that he was planning to drop a surprise album, but decided to delay it due to his tragic loss.
“I was dropping a Surprise album April 12th but man,” YG wrote. “Now that we gotta deal with Big bro goin to heaven I will not drop the album this month. Pushing it to May, Sorry! LONG LIVE @NipseyHussle my brother from the other color!”

The album was slated for release this month, but will now arrive in May. This will be YG’s first project since he dropped Stay Dangerous last year. YG also shared a tribute to Nipsey Hussle on Instagram where he reflected on the type of person that he was.
