Fans are just days away from receiving Nipsey Hussle and Bino Rideaux's long-awaited joint album, but the tracklist is finally here.
On Wednesday, August 12, Boardroom debuted the official tracklist for Nip and Bino's Prolific album. Their collaborative project will hold 15 fresh tracks, including "Reckless" with Static Major, "Sacrifices" featuring James Fauntleroy, and "I Just Wanna Know" with Cardi B and Ty Dolla $ign. It also features fresh collaborations with BH, Leon Thomas, and Buddy. Nipsey Hussle and Bino Rideaux recorded the album — and their first project, No Pressure — within 90 days in 2017.
"We rented out a spot, No Name Studios," Bino told POW MAG's Jeff Weiss. "We stayed there for 90 days. Slept there, showered there. We ain't leave that b***h. We was just making everything in there."
Nipsey Hussle's estate and Bino Rideaux first announced the plans for their joint album last year. Nip's brother, Blacc Sam, explained that the album was about 80 percent finished before the Grammy-nominated rapper was gunned down in front of his store in 2019.
“So the team kind of came in, got some unreleased verses and music that he had done with Bino and just tightened it up," Sam told Billboard. "It sounds amazing. The team is real excited."
Bino and the late rapper's family released the album's first single, "Reckless," earlier this year and followed up with "Sacrifices" and "I Just Wanna Know" in June. The final single, "All Summer" with BH, dropped last month.
