The industry has lost yet another Visionary, Legend and Revolutionary rapper to gun violence. Nipsey Hussle was shot multiple times and killed outside his clothing store in Los Angeles.

Born Ermias Davidson Asghedom, Nip was gunned down on Sunday afternoon, 31st of March 2019, outside his store, Marathon Clothing in L.A 

According to eye witnesses, Hussle was shot multiple times in the parking lot, with five bullets on the body and one to the head. He was later declared dead by paramedics.

Tributes from fellow industry mates started flooding when the news of his passing broke. J-Cole described him as "a legend" and someone he "admired" for what he's done for the culture and his community. The Crenshaw rapper.

Nipsey Hussle's debut album Victory Lap, released in 2018 received a nomination for best rap album at this year's Grammy Awards, where he was nominated against Cardi B, Mac Miller, Pusha T and Travis Scott.

When asked by Big Boy in an interview on how he felt about the nomination, Hussle described himself as "excited" but at the same time, didn't want to feel validated by someone and their opinions but by his process and the amount of work he puts in his music.

Nipsey leaves behind his girlfriend of six years, Lauren London, their son and a daughter he had from a previous relationship. . .
