Nipsey Hussle’s Artist J Stone Says There Will ‘Definitely’ Be Another Nipsey Album

The late, great Hussle has apparently recorded enough music for a posthumous album. …

J Stone, a rapper signed to the late, great Nipsey Hussle‘s All Money In record label, gave fans of the Crenshaw rapper hope for a new project during a recent appearance on The Bootleg Kev Podcast. During an interview to promote his own new project The Definition of Pain — on which Nipsey makes a pair of posthumous guest appearances — J Stone told the hosts that the late rapper had enough recorded verses stashed up for a follow-up to his Grammy-nominated debut album Victory Lap.

“It’s so much music this n**** done did,” He said. “Like you wouldn’t even imagine, bro. There’s sh*t I haven’t even heard when I thought I heard everything.” So much, in fact, that there’s “definitely” enough for a complete and quality album. “It’s definitely going to be another Nip album,” he said. “But, it’s All Money In so we ain’t going to put out nothing Mickey.” He made it a point to compare a potential release to the posthumous album put out by Pop Smoke’s business partners earlier this year. “I feel like if they would’ve held on to his music more and put it out the right way, it would’ve been received differently. But, the music was still good and we needed it at that time.”

Album Review

Paul Terry, Aptøsrs & Cellarscape unite on bold new album “Alternative Piano Club”

Combining his three artistic alter egos, Paul Terry presents an awe-inspiring new 12-track album, “Alternative Piano Club,” written in collaboration with Aptøsrs and Cellarscape. This is an album-length voyage of music that blends acoustic, rock, and piano-driven cinematic sounds.

Torn between this complex emotional spectrum, all the while the piano remains at its core throughout. Paul Terry opens his “Memento Mori (Chromogenic Phase)” contemplatively, creating a solemn, reflective mood. Cellarscape’s “Three Years Of Roses“ is warmer, whereas Aptøsrs’ “Questionnaires“ is much more textured as a large, sculptural post-rock.

“Dave’s Theme,” written by Paul Terry, musically expands the narrative with a touch of cinematic elevation that aligns well. “We Shape The Clouds” by Cellarscape is fluffy and heart-warming, “Writers Behind The Curtain” is somber, more narrative. We are all together in “A Place We Made,” an honest, intimate, emotionally grounded space.

The project contains vocal warmth and cultural depth in the song “This Is My Home“ by Silas Miami & Lana Crowster. Proceeding in a totally different direction is the stronger emotional clarity of Paul Terry’s acoustic storytelling on “Any Time You Want To Fly” and “No Sleep Has Come.” Cellarscape presents a wide, spacious atmospheric moment in “Cygnus,” while Aptøsrs ends with “Rust Mountain (Monochrome Piano Version),” a simple gem that brings the project full circle.

The mixing of Sam Okell and Adam Noble, the mastering of Alex Wharton and Robin Schmidt have, in many ways, brought their polish to it while still making it feel human. “Alternative Piano Club” is a work entity, where three musical personalities met and talk mind in the same emotional language.
