Earlier this year saw Nipsey Hussle stepping into the spotlight with his long-awaited debut album, Victory Lap. It dropped back in February, but now he's seen fit to revisit the project with the release of his cinematic "Double Up" video.

Starting in 2007, the Sergio-directed video for the Dom Kennedy and Belly-featuring song stars Nipsey alongside his girlfriend, Lauren London, and Jackie Long. Of course, both Kennedy and Belly turn up in the visual too, but not before the story kicks in. The video starts with a drug deal that doesn't go quite as smoothly as hoped, before jumping 10 years ahead. 

Speaking with Billboard, Nipsey explained that the story is "autobiographical." "We wanted to expand on the idea of [the song] by telling a story of an abandoned love affair between a young hustler and his girl," he said.
