For L.A. rapper Nipsey Hussle, the release of his latest album, Crenshaw, is occasion enough to not only create a special pop-up shop in L.A. where the mixtape will be sold (along with a line of related clothing) to his fans, but to also charge a cool $100 for each CD, which will be limited to 1000 copies.

"The reason I chose to charge $100 dollars each copy and only start with 1000 units is because I tailor making my music for those who are listening," Hussle said to Rap Radar about the unusual strategy. "It's not about stepping outside of what I'm known for in hopes of new discovery. What that means less is fans that are better served. (Kinda like the effect of less kids in a class room leading to a better education).

"I'm more or less focused on fully serving the ones that have connected all ready," he continued. "That being said its a value over volume thing�if I'm going to offer a product made with no compromise or concession to the platforms (radio, A&R opinion, label bias) ect�ect..then the way we sale it has to change."
