The project ends with a tribute to Nipsey Hussle.

The tracklist for Dave East's anticipated release Survival reads like a hip hop who's who. Throughout his career, East has proven that he can hold down a track on his own, but for Survival, he calls in some heavy-hitters to assist him in crafting a well-rounded album. The rapper carries the streets of Harlem on his back, so every track bleeds the essence of New York City hip hop.

The rapper recently shared with Billboard that each of his albums are based on what he's dealing with in life at the time. "I’m surviving now, I’m still trying to figure it out," East said. "I’m trying to broaden my horizons, get into things that people don’t know me for. I feel like 'survival' was the one word that could tie all of that together."

Survival features DJ Premier, J. Black, Teyana Taylor, Rick Ross, The-Dream, Fabolous, Jacquees, Mozzy, Gunna, E-40, Lil Baby, Max B, Ash Leone, Ty Dolla $ign, and a brief, well-circulated clip of Nipsey Hussle speaking on what "marathon" means to him. Let us know your thoughts.
