DJ Drama’s All-Star ‘I’m Really Like That’ Tracklist Features Nipsey Hussle, Jack Harlow, Tyler The Creator, And Many More

DJ Drama dubbed his famed Gangsta Grillz mixtape series “THEEE MOST IMPORTANT MIXTAPE SERIES OF ALL TIME” on Twitter this morning, March 30, and then he pivoted back to promoting his next album, I’m Really Like That.

Drama revealed the tracklist for the album, which will drop at midnight. Every song has at least one featured artist, including the late Nipsey Hussle, Tyler The Creator, Lil Baby, and Jack Harlow.

Drama stopped by The Breakfast Club to dish more about I’m Really Like That, and he explained the Juice-inspired rollout.

“It was a concept I had. You know, people who know me through my years, I’ve always talked about how much Juice was an inspiration for me to be a DJ, so we came up with the concept,” he said. “I actually called Jim Jones, like, ‘Yo, I got this idea.’ I was like, ‘Yo, you still directing videos?’ And he was like, ‘Here and there, not really.’ But I ran it by him, and he was like, ‘Oh, that’s crazy.’ I ran into Omar Epps sometime in New York. I ran the idea by him, and it just starting building.”

[WATCH] Eric Holder’s Lawyer Says That His Life Has Been “Greenlighted” By Prison Gangs

Screen Shot 2023 03 28 at 3.46.36 PM

On February 22, 2023, Eric Holder, the man convicted of taking the life of rap superstar Nipsey Hussle, was sentenced to 50 years to life in prison, but a clip from his sentencing is now going viral, showing his lawyer pleading to the judge about Holder’s harsh reality to be faced in prison.

Holder was also given another ten years for assault with a firearm for shooting two people the same day that he gunned down Hussle. L.A. County Superior Court Judge H. Clay Jacke II said of Holder, “I am mindful of what was presented as to Mr. Holder’s mental health. I am also mindful of the devastation caused to the victims and their families. I believe this sentence balances the two.”

A clip from his sentencing has now surfaced, showing Holder’s lawyer pleading for the 33-year-old man L.A. native to be housed in protective custody in state prison, as his future in any correctional facility is bleak.

Holder’s lawyer can be heard in the video saying, “Once he gets to state prison, he’s a target. There’s a green light on him from all the gangs. All the people that love Nipsey Hussle. And so, his life in prison is going to be hell … for as long as it lasts.”

Nipsey Hussle’s Killer Is A “Target” In Prison, Lawyer Says: “There’s A Green Light On Him From All The Gangs”

Eric Holder’s life will be in danger behind bars, his attorney confirmed, after the 33-year-old was sentenced for the murder of Nipsey Hussle. The judge handed down a 60-year sentence to Holder after a jury found him guilty on all counts. However, his attorney believes that his life behind bars will be a living hell. He explained there are many people who are looking to inflict harm upon Holder.

A clip of Holder’s court appearance surfaced this week where a person, that many believe to be the judge, warned him of what life will be like incarcerated. However, as Hollywood Unlocked notes, it was actually his lawyer who suggested Eric Holder might not make it out of his prison sentence alive and asked for protective custody. “Once he gets to state prison, he’s a target,” the attorney said. “There’s a green light on him from all the gangs, all the people that loved Nipsey Hussle. And so, his life in prison is going to be hell for as long as it lasts.”

Eric Holder’s 60-Year Sentence For Nipsey Hussle’s Death

The concerns expressed by Holder’s attorney have already been proven true before the trial began. In July, his attorney Aaron Jensen confirmed that he was attacked behind bars by a group of men. “Mr. Holder, Jr. was assaulted by multiple individuals while he was in the holding cell at the jail while waiting to be brought to court yesterday morning,” Jansen told CBS News. “The attack included a razor and the back of his head was cut.” Shortly after, Holder appeared in court with bruises and a swollen face from the attack. 

The jury ultimately found Eric Holder guilty of the first-degree murder of Nipsey Hussle. He was also found guilty of two counts of attempted voluntary manslaughter and one count of possession of a firearm. Hussle, whose 4-year death anniversary approaches this Friday, reportedly confronted Eric Holder for cooperating with authorities in front of the Marathon Store on Crenshaw and Slauson. Holder returned where he fired numerous shots at Nipsey Hussle and killed him. Check out the clip of Holder above. We’ll keep you posted with any further updates.

Nipsey Hussle’s children are the new owners of his Marathon Clothing store in Los Angeles, according to his brother Blacc Sam.

Nipsey Hussle’s Kids Own Marathon Clothing Store, Says Blacc Sam

The future of Nipsey Hussle’s brick-and-mortar Marathon Clothing Store has been unclear for some time. After the beloved rapper was gunned down by Eric Holder in front of the Los Angeles retail store in 2019, the location became a hub for visitors. The parking lot of the shopping center had to be shut down, and a gate was erected around it due to the high traffic. People from all over the world stopped by to see when Nipsey was murdered, and the place was covered in memorial candles, cards filled with condolences, stuffed animals, flowers, and more.

Expectedly, Hussle’s Marathon Clothing brand also saw a meteoric spike in sales. However, the storefront would later shut down because it became nearly impossible to operate as a business. Nipsey’s brother, Sam Asghedom, affectionately known as Blacc Sam, offered an update while visiting the Earn Your Leisure podcast. He explained that Hussle’s kids now own Marathon Clothing, and it was generational wealth that Nipsey always intended.

When he passed away, Nip was in a long-term relationship with actress Lauren London. The couple has a son, Kross. Hussle also has a daughter from a previous relationship, Emani, and London shares a son, Kameron, with Lil Wayne. “When I say we own it, it’s in Hussle’s kids’ names,” Blacc Sam explained. “This is something their father worked for and that they own. That’s important to me. Also, just having a brick-and-mortar once again reinforced what Hussle told us and taught us.”

Online sales often outdo storefronts these days, but Sam stressed the importance of passing on that legacy. Having something tangible to pass down to the next generation is valued among the Asghedoms. Further, as the chapter of Eric Holder’s trial and sentencing has concluded, the family looks forward to a brighter future.

Holder Learns His Fate

Last month, after years of litigation, Holder learned his fate. His defense argued that he suffered from mental health issues that contributed to the murder, but a jury still found him guilty. He received a 60-year prison sentence and could effectively spend the rest of his life behind bars. Holder and Nipsey were friends and were even a part of the same neighborhood gang. However, it was speculated that Nipsey said something about Holder being a snitch, prompting the violent altercation. Check out more from Blacc Sam above.

Nipsey Hussle’s BM Grieves In Heartbreaking Message: “I Would Have Took Those Bullets”

The mother of Nipsey Hussle’s firstborn child, Tanisha Foster, has faced scrutiny since the rapper’s death in 2019. Foster faced significant pushback from Nip’s family as she tried to gain custody of their daughter, Emani Asghedom. However, reports of the custody battle also led to public scrutiny surrounding her parenting. Still, she remained relatively lowkey since Nipsey’s passing.

This week, she broke her silence in a series of heartbreaking messages shared on her Instagram Story. “I miss my child’s father,” she wrote. “I wish he was here to see my accomplishments.” Though Nip dated Lauren London until the day he died, Foster explained how she and Nipsey continued to have a strong bond due to their history together as parents and friends. Still, since Nip’s passing, she faced strong criticism from his fans whenever she tried to post about him on Instagram.

Tanisha Foster Says She Would’ve Taken Those Bullets For Nipsey Hussle

Foster shared a lengthy note on her Instagram Story where she addressed her relationship with Nip. “You guys are fans of my child’s father and when I post him it’s a problem,” she wrote, addressing those who’ve felt like her tributes to Nip have been a slight towards Lauren London. “It’s almost 4 years of him being gone so think [about] how I feel,” she continued. “I met him in my teens and he been my roll dog every since.”

Afterward, she explained that she spoke to Nipsey just a half hour before he died. “I spoke with him 30 min b4 his death, I was one of the last persons he spoke with,” Foster continued. “I wish I was there I would have took those bullets,” she added.

Earlier this year, a jury convicted Nipsey Hussle’s killer, Eric Holder, of first-degree murder after a judge denied his bid to reduce his sentence to manslaughter. The jury handed down a sentence of 60 years to life. Additionally, the jury found Holder guilty of two counts of attempted voluntary manslaughter and two counts of assault with a firearm. 

Jonathan Majors Says That Nipsey Hussle’s Music Helped Him Prepare for His Role in ‘Creed III’

Creed III has been praised since its release last Friday. In particular for its performance from Jonathan Majors, who plays Damian “Diamond Dame” Anderson, a former friend of Adonis who spent 18 years behind bars and who has his sights set on becoming a heavyweight boxing champ after his release. In a recent interview with Majors, the 33-year-old actor said that Nipsey Hussle’s music helped him prepare for his role.

Majors said in a recent interview with Slashfilm that in order to prepare for the role, he had to listen to music that he thought his character would most likely listen to. This included music from west coast rap legends, 2Pac and Nipsey Hussle.

“All of Nipsey’s stuff was really helpful. They’re from the same area, Dame and him, so that’s cool,” Majors said. “There’s also dialect work, and so he’s rapping in his L.A. sound. The things he’s talking about are things that resonate with the world that Dame comes from, so that was very helpful.”

He added: “There’s other songs that come from your subconscious that touch you in a way that can align you. You write that song next to the top of the page or whatever, and there’s playlist upon playlist upon playlist. Those can curate it into ‘This is that scene’ or ‘This is that moment.’”

For those that saw the movie, you would know that Nipsey’s music made it into the film. Spoiler alert: in his first fight after being released, Dame comes out to Nipsey’s “Grindin’ All My Life,” and in his second fight, he comes out to “Last Time That I Checc’d.”

Jonathan Majors Credits Nipsey Hussle For Shaping “Creed III” Character

Jonathan Majors is undoubtedly turning into one of the biggest stars of the year, in part to his excellent performance as Dame in Creed III. The latest film in the Rocky franchise emerged on Friday to critical and commercial praise. The film reached $100M at the box office in its opening weekend while many have applauded it as one of the best films in the Creed series. Needless to say, the all-star cast and Michael B. Jordan’s excellent directorial debut didn’t disappoint fans who waited years for the follow-up to Creed II.

Majors’s character, Golden Gloves champ Damian “Diamond Dame” Anderson, is a childhood friend of Adonis who ends up serving 20 years in prison for a gun charge (largely due to Donnie’s attack on a man named Leon and subsequently running away). After Dame comes home, he gets Adonis’ help to return to the boxing ring. Majors’ portrayal of Dame proved why he’s a generational talent but apparently, he wouldn’t have been able to get into that space without Nipsey Hussle.

Nipsey Hussle’s Influence On Jonathan Majors

Throughout the movie, Dame uses Nipsey Hussle’s music to enter the ring, largely songs off of Victory Lap. During an interview with Looper, Jonathan Majors explained that Nipsey’s music helped him tap into Dame’s mind. “I listened to a lot of Tupac, Nipsey Hussle,” he said. “All of Nipsey’s stuff was really helpful. They’re from the same area, Dame and him, so that’s cool.” Additionally, Majors said Nip helped him with dialect work. “The things he’s talking about are things that resonate with the world that Dame comes from, so that was very helpful,” he said.

Nipsey’s influence evidently seeped through Dame’s character and into the movie as a whole. He explained that Nip also made music that touched on a range of emotions. “There’s other songs that come from your subconscious that touch you in a way that can align you,” he said. “You write that song next to the top of the page or whatever, and there’s playlist upon playlist upon playlist,” he added, explaining that he would note what songs would work in specific scenes.

DJ Drama Previews Nipsey Hussle Collab On “I’m Really Like That” Album

We’re slowly approaching the four-year anniversary of Nipsey Hussle’s untimely passing. The rapper was shot and killed in his stomping grounds in L.A. on March 31st, 2019. Fans and friends have kept his name alive since then, while many have sought justice against the man who murdered Nip in broad daylight. Last week, a judge handed down a 60-year to a life sentence to Eric Holder for the death of Nip. Though many expressed relief, it doesn’t bring Nipsey Hussle back.

Since his passing, fans have cherished Nipsey’s catalog even more. He released a handful of classic mixtapes throughout his career and only dropped one album, Victory Lap. From his early bangers to the Grammy-nominated, “Racks In The Middle,” Nipsey Hussle boasts a timeless catalog. However, there have been very few updates surrounding any posthumous releases. His family hasn’t shared any plans to drop unreleased records, though he’s posthumously appeared on a few singles alongside legends like Jay-Z and Dr. Dre.

DJ Drama Previews Nipsey Hussle Track

It seems like another posthumous record from Nipsey Hussle might be coming soon. This week, DJ Drama hit fans with a preview of a verse from Nip that will presumably land on the DJ’s next album. The verse itself, however, isn’t actually new, despite claims that the verse is unreleased. Drama reused Nip’s verse from 2016’s “State Of Mind” for the record, which he described as being a big tune on his upcoming project, I’m Really Like That.

DJ Drama and Nipsey Hussle are no strangers to each other. Prior to the release of Victory Lap, Nip linked up with Drama for the third part of the Marathon series, Crenshaw. Unfortunately, we didn’t get many collaborations from them since then. If Nip was still with us today, it would’ve been amazing to see how he would’ve approached a Gangsta Grillz mixtape. Nonetheless, we’re excited to hear what Drama has cooking up on his forthcoming album. Check the snippet above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments. We’ll keep you posted on anymore updates surrounding DJ Drama’s upcoming project, I’m Really Like That.

Nipsey Hussle’s Friend Cowboy On Eric Holder’s 60-Year Sentence: “Justice Was Definitely Served”

Nearly four years after the death of Nipsey Hussle, his accused killer, Eric Holder, was finally sentenced to jail time. A jury convicted Holder last July of first-degree murder and attempted voluntary manslaughter following a lengthy trial. However, it was only this week that a judge handed down a 60-year prison sentence. The high-profile case earned coverage across the globe while Holder and his attorney tried to reduce the charge from first-degree murder, which was ultimately denied.

Holder will likely spend his remaining years behind bars. At the time of his sentencing, he was 33 years old, which means that he’ll be in his 90s if he’s ever released. However, his sentencing became a relief to many friends, fans and peers of Nipsey, who’ve demanded justice since his death in 2019. In addition to first degree murder and attempted voluntary manslaughter, the jury also found Holder guilty of 2 counts of assault with a firearm, and possession of a firearm by a felon.

Cowboy Reflects On Eric Holder’s Conviction For Nipsey Hussle’s Death

A close friend of Nipsey Hussle, Cowboy, was approached by TMZ outside of the courtroom following Holder’s conviction. He explained that “justice was definitely served” but regardless of Holder’s sentencing, he said that it won’t bring back Nipsey. “60 years, that’ll hold him. It was definitely justice for Nipsey,” he said before explaining that the death of Nipset still hurts. “It’s going to hurt forever. It’s going to be an open wound forever because we’re not going to get over Nipsey… He got all this time but it’s not going to bring Nipsey back.”

Cowboy continued to explain the significance of Nipsey Hussle to his community. He also expressed his condolences to Nipsey’s family, who wasn’t in attendance at the sentencing. “I’m still grieving Nipsey,” he explained. “I could imagine how his mom, his dad, his brother – they were tight. I’m still hurt and I was just his friend,” he added. Though they might not be biologically related, Cowboy explained that Nip’s family provided him with plenty of knowledge over the years that he never got from his own family. Check out his interview with TMZ above.
