Don Cannon lands in sunny California to meet with legendary West Coast producers Mike & Keys as they embark on the breakdown of "Checc Me Out" by Nipsey Hussle.

"Checc Me Out," a dynamic collaboration featuring Nipsey Hussle, Dom Kennedy, and Cobby Supreme, encapsulates the essence of West Coast hip-hop. Released as part of Nipsey's acclaimed mixtape "Crenshaw," this track serves as a testament to his commitment to authenticity and hustle. The song's production, handled by Mike & Keys (formerly known as The Futuristics) and 1500 or Nothin', is a masterclass in musical innovation.

As a part of the "Crenshaw" mixtape, this track also highlights Nipsey's innovative approach to music distribution, famously selling limited edition copies for $100 each, demonstrating his entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to creating value for his art. "Checc Me Out" is more than music; it's a movement, a statement, and a reflection of Nipsey Hussle's enduring impact on the culture.
