Bringing the West Coast Back: Hit-Boy and Nipsey Hussle’s ‘Alert’

Posted byBy Leo | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Hit-Boy and Nipsey Hussle are bringing the West Coast back with a new video for their song “Alert.” The song starts with the line “You ain’t felt this way since ‘The Chronic,’ ” and the video, which features a visual tour of California, conjures up the attitude of  Dr. Dre and Snoop.

According to stupiddope.com:

“California is definitely in the building today, as Hit-Boy and Nipsey Hussle link up for a dope new video for our enjoyment. The fellas linked up a while back for their impressive new track called ‘Alert,’ and today they’re back with the brand new video for the track. The impressive cut finds both of the young men showing off their respective sound and talent, giving us something rather dope in the process.

“The video finds the duo taking their talents out in the Cali sunshine, giving us a fitting and infectious new video to go with the track. They give us a visual tour of Los Angeles while showcasing their smooth talents along the way.”

“Alert” is currently a free track on the Web, but Hit-Boy said recently that he’s working on a solo project called HITstory 2, so it may eventually show up there.

Check out the Hit-Boy and Nipsey Hussle’s “Alert” video below.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
