Rapper Nipsey Hussle is putting a high value on his upcoming album, asking for $1,000 per CD for his newest project.
The MC announced his next record, Mailbox Money, will be released this month, but fans who want a hard copy of the album will have to fork out $1000.
The record itself, which he calls an "album before the album", also includes a listening session for his much-anticipated Victory Lap album.
Speaking to MTV News, Hussle says of the project, "It's all original music. Being honest, these ain't mixtapes. They're albums. These original songs, concepts, the biggest producers, the biggest rappers in the game are a part of it and bringing creativity to it.
"I don't want to devalue it by calling it a mixtape. It's really just music - more conversations for my people."
It isn't the first time Hussle has put a big price tag on his music - last year, he reportedly made $100,000 from sales of his Crenshaw mixtape, for which he charged $100 per copy.
