Snoop Dogg is paying tribute to Nipsey Hussle ahead of what would have been the late rapper’s 35th birthday. Snoop dropped the track “Nipsey Blue” on Friday to honor his fellow California rapper.
The song samples “Misty Blue” by Dorothy Moore.
Snoop raps, “Oh, it’s been such a long, long time / Looks like I’d get you off my mind / But I can’t / Just the thought of you / Turns my whole world Nipsey Blue.”
Nipsey Hussle was shot and killed on Sunday, March 31 outside of his clothing store — Marathon Clothing — in Los Angeles, California. The rapper was 33 years old. Hussle was recently nominated for Best Rap Album at the 61st Grammy Awards for his debut studio album “Victory Lap.” Initially, reports claimed that the murder in broad daylight was a result of gang violence, but it was later revealed that it stemmed from a personal issue between Nipsey and the shooter, Eric Holder, who is now in police custody and charged with murder.

Oh, it’s been such a long, long time
Looks like I’d get you off my mind
