Nipsey Hussle continues to make moves on the Billboard charts following his untimely death. The last single he released while he was alive, "Racks In The Middle," has secured a spot in the top 10 on the Billboard Hot Rap Songs, according to Billboard. The single, which features Roddy Ricch and Hit-Boy, marks Nipsey's first song to enter the top 10 on the Billboard Hot Rap Songs chart. The song jumped six positions from #15 to #9.

"Racks In The Middle" marked the last single Nipsey released while he was living. Its leap on the chart is largely due to streaming numbers which increased by 44% this week. Additionally, it jumped from 14 to 7 on the Rap Streaming Songs chart.

What's even more impressive is that "Racks" has leaped into the top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song is currently sitting at #26 after sitting at #44. It's also in the top 10 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop songs.

While the song's been doing well on the charts, his debut studio album, Victory Lap has maintained a position in the top 10 of the Billboard 200. The rapper's album is currently sitting at #3 after moving 63K units that week. Following the rapper's death, Victory Lap re-entered the Billboard 200 at #2 while four other projects of his -- Slauson Boy, Crenshaw, The Marathon, and Mailbox Money -- made their way on the chart for the first time ever.

That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
