Nipsey Hussle’s Philanthropy Record Will Be Entered Into Congressional Record [PEEP]

Nipsey Hussle’s name will go down in the record books.

Yesterday congresswoman Karen Bass, who is the representative of California’s 37th District that includes South L.A. announced plans to enter the late, great rapper’s humanitarian efforts into Congress’ permanent records.

“I will be heading to the House Floor next week to formally enter Nipsey Hussle’s contributions to South Los Angeles into the Congressional Record where it will be a part of United States history forever,” Bass tweeted yesterday.

Nipsey, who rightfully so had the nickname of “Neighbahood Nip” has been celebrated by many for his efforts in helping his Crenshaw District community. It was reported that he and Roc Nation had a meeting set with LAPD Chief Michel Moore and Police Commission President Steve Soboroff to discuss ways to prevent gang violence in the streets of L.A.

A petition, which almost holds 400,000 signatures was created by the Najee Ali Youth Foundation following his death to change the intersection of Crenshaw and Slauson to “Nipsey Hussle Way” to honor Nipsey.

The Marathon continues, as the Grammy-nominated rapper and entrepreneur Nipsey Hussle releases his new video for “Racks in the Middle” featuring fellow L.A. folks Roddy Ricch and Hit-Boy.

From the start of 2019 a lot has happened for the Crenshaw veteran ranging from GQ photo shoots, Grammy nominations, and closing escrow on commercial real estate. None of that has stopped Neighbahood Nip from his original “hussle,” music.

In the video we see Nipsey Hussle and Compton youngin’ Roddy Ricch live lavishly as they show off a fleet of foreign cars. Also, featured in the video is Nipsey’s grandmother decked out in Puma gear as they occupy a private jet that is sponsored by the Puma brand. It is safe to say that Nipsey has truly earned his bragging rights to show off his “Racks in the Middle.”
