West Coast rapper Nipsey Hussle is putting some serious value to his upcoming Mailbox Money release by announcing plans to charge $1,000 for the project.
According to reports, the upcoming release will come with the hefty price tag for anyone interested in the physical versions.
“There will only be 100 hard copies and they are $1000 each,” he told MTV News, adding that it will also be released for free via iTunes and the Proud 2 Pay platform built for the Crenshaw release. “The 100 people that buy the P2P version will be granted access to a private advance listening session of [upcoming 2015 album] Victory Lap at the secret Marathon Store we are going to open the day of the listening!” (MTV)

Hussle also said the release would come stacked with new music.
“It’s all original music. Being honest, these ain’t mixtapes, they’re albums. These original songs, concepts, the biggest producers, the biggest rappers in the game are a part of [it] and bringing creativity to [it]. I don’t want to devalue it by calling it a mixtape. It’s really just music — more conversations for my people,” Nip continued. (MTV)
Last year, Nipsey made headlines for selling his Crewshaw project at $100 a piece.
In addition to unveiling the cover, the Los Angeles rapper revealed that it will be released on the same Proud 2 Pay scale as his 2013 mixtape, Crenshaw, which he sold 1,000 copies of at $100 a piece. The first leak off the project is a cut called “50 N*ggaz,” produced by Mike Keys and 1500 Or Nothin. (Baller Status)
Who this guy think he is?? Nigga u aint. No legend
Who are you? Just a fuck boy hating on the sideline #waterboystatusnosandler yell
Groupie ass nigga
More power to him if he can get people to actually pay but I there’s really no artist dead or alive that I’d pay $1000 to for a cd
As a great poet once said… “NIGGA PLEASE”
closed mouths don’t get fed…his last name is hussle
I ain’t mad atcha Loc…Don’t Take Days Off…get $$$ cuz.
Yeah, I’ll be downloading it for free. I do fuck with Nipsey’s music tho
Typical nigger fuckery by the posters on here mad that a brotha feels highly confident about his work. Shaw/Slau movement. If you are not gonna purchase it fine, we get it for free and those others who have disposable cash (most rich jewish, white, and Asians) will buy it like the last time. You suppose to applaud a brotha for that not hate! Dumb coons never understand the method yell
It’s about the relationship u get to build with the artist. For entrepreneurs only. With that being said I couldn’t do it with the type of business I run but I see the vision
In theory this sounds like a good idea but sounds more like a complex tax/ money laundering hustle
People said he was stupid for the $100 release… but all them copies sure got bought.
