Hey everyone!

This Week On Genius highlights all the dope stuff that’s happened in the Genius Community in the past week. It drops every Monday and includes stuff like hot annotations, dope scribes, cool articles, fresh editors, and those up and coming users who might not be on your radar yet. If you have any suggestions on what should be included, send it to a community staffer before Sunday and one of us will make sure we include it :)

Check out the last edition of this thread here.

We are done two of the 4 albums completely for Stax!

Thank you so much! I’ve been dreaming to be on the page, and I’ve finally done it! Great work everyone! 🥰

@Empath Multi-platinum producer Khao dropped this dream team collab. I transcribed the whole thing & wrote some annotations. It’s one of the last things Nipsey Hussle ever recorded:
