Nipsey Hussle Archives - Cinematic Music Group

Most of his releases are on mixtape usually the label has no involvement in the mixtape. When he releases Victory Lap(If that is what his supposed album is called) You'll see the details of CMG.

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

Dude pretty much riding the Bandcamp/Soundcloud wave but still manage to drop mainstream quality type of shyt.

So The Marathon, The marathon Continues, Crenshaw and Mailbox Money were all independent.
BAGNN Vol 1-3 were all mixtapes as well. That's the only time cinematic helped.
