Bino Rideaux & Blacc Sam Talk Continuing Nipsey Hussle’s Marathon With ‘PROLIFIC’ at Billboard House
PROLIFIC was released in August and debuted at No. 21 on the Billboard 200.
Bino Rideaux and Blacc Sam, Nipsey Hussle's brother, have been actively promoting their collaborator album PROLIFIC since its release on August 14. The latest stop on their promotional tour was at Billboard House during the R&B/Hip-Hop Week, where they sat down with staff writer Michael Saponara for the 'Preserving the Hussle' panel.
They discussed the PROLIFIC album and their efforts in continuing Nipsey Hussle's Marathon seven years after his passing in March 2019. Bino expressed his happiness with the album's reception and his desire for it to be nominated for a Grammy. He also shared that the album was recorded in three months, with the artists living in the studio and constantly working on new material.
The album, originally named 'Single for the Summer', was later changed after Lauren London, Nipsey Hussle's partner, expressed her disapproval. PROLIFIC was Nipsey Hussle's first posthumous release and featured contributions from various artists, debuting at No. 21 on the Billboard 200.
