We're nearing the days until Nipsey Hussle releases his debut album Victory Lap. The rapper first garnered major recognition with his mixtape The Marathon. Nipsey celebrated the seven year anniversary of the project in December by releasing his collaboration with Swizz Beatz on "Been Down." Now, the two of them drop off the official video for the single.
Nipsey Hussle and Swizz Beatz hit the club together for their single "Been Down." The stunning visuals feature the two of them mobbing through the strip club while smoking cigars and money being thrown around. The most interesting part of the video happens at the end when they share behind the scenes footage. In the clip, both Nipsey and Swizz Beatz share their praises for each other.
The video serves as Nipsey's second offering of the day. The rapper dropped off his Kendrick Lamar collaboration this morning on "Dedication."
