Earlier in 2019, Hussle earned his first career Grammy nominated when he was nominated for Best Rap Album at the 61st Grammy Awards for his debut studio album “Victory Lap.” However, Hussle’s album lost to Cardi B’s debut 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.’
Our thoughts and prayers are with Nipsey Hussle’s friends, family, and loved ones during this difficult time.
