West Coast rapper Nipsey Hussle is featured on DJ Khaled’s latest video project alongside singer John Legend in the highly anticipated song “Higher” which was shot days before the rapper was brutally gunned down outside his Crenshaw clothing store Marathon. According to Khaled, the two were close friends who decided to record the project together however Hussle never saw it come to a completion.
The track is off Khaled’s new album, Father of Asahd, and Khaled plans to donate some of the track’s sales to Nipsey’s 2 children – daughter Emani, 10, and son Kross, 2.
“Recently, I embarked on a soul-searching journey down a road I never thought I would travel in a million years,” he wrote. “It began when a tragedy robbed the world of an enlightened soul, a brother, a father, a partner and my friend, Nipsey Hussle.
“Just days prior, he shared his energy and positivity with me on a video set for a song called “Higher.” After much prayer and reflection; and with the full blessing of the Asghedom family, I am sharing that moment with the world.”
His alleged killer, Eric Holder is awaiting trial for the murder that was caught on a nearby surveillance camera.
