Hussle was coming off some of the best times of his career, as his debut studio album “Victory Lap” was nominated for Best Rap Album at the 61st Grammy Awards in February. “Victory Lap” ultimately lost out to Cardi B’s debut studio album “Invasion of Privacy”.
Prior to the Grammy-nominated album “Victory Lap”, Hussle was known for his mixtapes such as his Bullets Ain’t Got No Name series, The Marathon, The Marathon Continues and Crenshaw.
Grammy-winning rapper Jay-Z once famously bought 100 copies of Hussle’s Crenshaw mixtape for $100 a piece.
Following his tragic death, tributes to Hussle began pouring in from all over the entertainment industry from rappers and athletes alike.
“This doesn’t make any sense! My spirit is shaken by this! Dear God may His spirit Rest In Peace and May You grant divine comfort to all his loved ones! I’m so sorry this happened to you,” Rihanna tweeted along with photos of the late Los Angeles rapper.
