From a Humorous Nickname to an Icon
Nipsey Hussle, legally known as Ermias Joseph Asghedom, was born and raised in South Los Angeles. He left his home when he was 14 and joined a gang. This was also a time when he started calling himself Nipsey Hussle as a humorous play on the comedian Nipsey Russell's name. After entering the rap industry, which was after he decided to end his gang ties and focus on helping the community, he began releasing mixtapes that were perceived well by the local population. Soon, he was signed by the Cinematic Music Group and Epic Records in 2005. His career then became characterized by multiple collaborations with established artists such as
Drake,
Snoop Dogg,
Rick Ross,
YG and the majority of hip-hop stars from the West Coast. During this time, he also participated in a few projects in the film industry by taking up support roles for
I Tried and
Love Chronicles: Secrets Revealed as well as a main role in the movie called
Ricky. After his death, Hussle's music skyrocketed in an unprecedented manner by accumulating more than 57 million streams, which went up from about 2 million, and 9.7 million views on his videos that initially had 900,000. Also, his final album,
Victory Lap, was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2019. Hussle also received posthumous BET Humanitarian and Best Male Hip-Hop Artist awards in the same year.
