The FX series The Drop: A Snowfall Saga, a spinoff of Snowfall, has debuted an unreleased track by Nipsey Hussle titled "LA Theme Song". The show follows characters Wanda Bell and Leon Simmons into 1990s Los Angeles, a time when West Coast rap was gaining popularity.
The track, which features West Coast bounce, is a one-minute narrated verse by Hussle, in which he discusses his come-up, motivational messages, and Los Angeles pride. According to Billboard, some of the lyrics include "On 60th street we seen hell/ I knew I’m falling right in they plans if we fail/ It’s cus you told me I’m a young Black n—a/ This world don’t love you, that’s just one fact, n—a/ You go to jail, you gon’ come back, n—a".
The song was originally intended for Hussle's album Victory Lap, but was removed to make room for a feature from Kendrick Lamar. The Drop: A Snowfall Saga airs on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET, and the track will also be available on streaming services.
